libmspack docs mention 'libmspack 0.11alpha' as the latest release, is this a typo?

Hi there.

Noticed there is a v1.11 release here, which looks to be the latest:

• https://github.com/kyz/libmspack/releases/tag/v1.11

The libmspack docs list a different version as the most recent:

The latest release of libmspack is libmspack 0.11alpha, released on 5 February 2023.

Guessing this is just a small typo / item needing updating?

Thanks in advance!
