Steam version is still on 1.7

Any idea on when this will be updated so those of us trying to use it there will get an updated version? The roadmap seems to indicate this should be released with the Rift, or at least that is how I read it. But there has been no new updates on steam and the version file still indicates 0.1.7.3(12)

Hi guys,

Yes we have failed to met the previous promise of updating the Steam version sooner.
We are very sorry about that.
The reason for this delay is due to our developing process. I can explain a bit here.
We have two major distinct versions: mobile and PC versions. For the PC version, usually we update the Oculus Rift first and once the Rift version is stable, we transfer the functions to Steam.
In our recent Rift update, there has been some bugs badly influencing the playback quality and performance. So we wanted to wait a bit until all the problems are solved and the version is stable, then we can safely transfer to Steam.
We have just fixed the bugs in Rift last week and released a new version (0.1.9.1). We will gather some feedback from our users and see that version is running well.
If it is, we should be able to update the Steam version within 2 - 3 weeks.

Again, we are sorry to keep you guys waiting.
Please be patient with us :)

Just purchased under steam 1/1/22 and it still shows a 10/25/2017 release date with no version evident that I can see. Did the above update ever happen? Purchased under steam as the tag said only rift through the oculus pc app store so I thought I was getting a more compatible version. Turns out on oculus pc I'd be able to use the quest HDR beta version.
