Well, as is the CSV is generated from the series files (not the other way round), and while changing this is possible, I don't think it's the best option. Instead I'd add some simple scripts, e.g. so you could do something like `update openssl-3.0.15 8.2 8.3 8.4 master`. > I probably would have sorted the versions the other way around though. I didn't sort them (only the package names are sorted).

I'm aware of this document, and if you like you can take my email address from the From address of this email. However, I'm afraid that this will not be finished within the next couple of weeks, and I really think that some further updates to Windows dependencies are long overdue (besides those already available in the winlibs repositories). Would be great to get these uploaded soon, so there are still a few 8.4.0RCs left to be able to correct potential issues. Cheers, Christoph
