Unfortunately as Alan said due to OpenSSL 3 we've put more into 3.0.x 
than planned since 3.0.25 when we announced it would be bug 
fixes/security only.

We felt it was necessary to ensure 3.0.x would continue to work with 
OpenSSL 3 and TLS 1.3 going forwards, otherwise it would become EOL a 
lot faster than planned.

We have built packages of the current development versions. They are 
available in the devel repositories here:

version 3.0.x:

   http://packages.networkradius.com/freeradius-devel-3.0/

version 3.2.x:

   http://packages.networkradius.com/freeradius-devel-3.2/

(Follow the set-up instructions at https://packages.networkradius.com/ 
as usual, but use the above URLs. Note that the 3.2 packages currently 
have 3.0+git versions as there hasn't been a 3.2 release yet.)

Please test! There are a lot more diverse systems/configurations out 
there than we are able to test here. These packages are drop-in 
replacements for current 3.0.x packages (but goes without saying, make 
backups beforehand, as always).

All being well we will release 3.2.0 within the next couple of weeks, 
and 3.0.26 shortly after.
