I've just installed Akeeba Backup on a new development site. There was a slightly confusing message about PHP versions with this installation. My current version is 7.3.25 which is outdated (I'll get it changed). The message says "...We recommend PHP 7.3 or later." but isn't 7.3.25 just that? Did you mean 7.4? Thanks.

Ok, got it.

We issue the warning automatically as soon as a PHP version enters in "Security maintenance mode only", but our suggested version is still PHP 7.3

You can stick to that version, there's no rush to update it; we will modify the warning soon.
