@DawnMagnet please see #463.

Yesterday I published v1.3.0, which should have fixed your problem on Arch.

Thanks very much for the suggestions, they will be kept into account 👍

@GyulyVGC Despite packaging complexity for Linux distros because there are some in the wild, it shouldn’t be a big deal to package binaries for most of the LTSes of common platforms — there are quite a few of them actually — though (to continue about “despite…” that I started with) I do have Homebrew installed along with openssl@3 and respectively with libssl.so.3, hence, probably, packaging the updated binary for Homebrew would fix the issue for me on Bionic as well 👍🏻 Works for me… though having packages for package managers of most common Linux distros (inc LTS) may give this project a pretty good kick to broader popularity 🤞🏻
