When will there be a new version fixing --exclude-from

I still encounter the issue mentioned in #375 and I am wondering when a newer version will be available. I am running Gentoo and there does not seem to be a new release since October 2022 other than the pre-release of 3.3.0. The latest version available is 3.2.7 (as well as on other distros, e.g. Arch Linux) that still has this issue reported on September 2022.

Are there any plans to release in the near future?
