v0.25 had already been released by upstream in 2017-07-24, see [1]. But development has continued since then, with important changes and fixes, but no new release. Patch is based on devel/shellcheck and archivers/libmpq, which use "pl" to bump the version to a commit after upstream's last official release. -- Lucas de Sena [1]: https://github.com/dlbeer/mspdebug/releases/tag/v0.25
