Should probably be changed, but please defer to https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl/blob/master/go.mod#L3 for the supported version.

I'm guessing most who try to follow the instructions in the README are as unfamiliar with Go as I am...

I'm also guessing it isn't possible to stick the minimum required version in a specific file from where it can be referenced by the README (other than with the link above)? ;)

I pulled down the proper release build tarball (and wondered why I didn't check if that worked first) ;)
