Description

Greetings! 👋

I'm wondering if you would consider releasing a newer version of this resource that is based on a newer version of Alpine (i.e. alpine:3.19)? I'm currently in the unenviable position of trying to extract a version number using the jq filter feature of this resource and my filter is valid in jq >= 1.7.0 but is considered a syntax error in any older version of jq. 😅 Alpine 3.19 now provides a much newer version of jq and basing this resource on the latest Alpine would make my life easier.

Research direction

Locate the resource's Alpine base-image declaration and check how its current image supplies jq. Update the base image to Alpine 3.19, then verify that jq supports filters requiring version 1.7 or newer and that the resource still builds.
