No PHP 8.1 compatibility

The very last commit before tagging 6.1.0 bumped the required PHP version to 8.3. I can't see any reasoning behind this (e.g. 8.3 specific code)

While Drupal 11 requires PHP 8.3, this has the result of "dropping" support for 10.3 users that are still on PHP 8.1 (and possibly without any ability to upgrade in the short term)

This isn't a huge issue as such, but it does mean that now the typically stupid Drupal module update check sends me a warning email every day telling me a module is out of date, and I'd like it to not do that.

Any chance of reducing the module's PHP version requirement?

    Thanks for your feedback.

    The new stable release of 6.1 has been made in order to prepare the full Drupal 11 compatibility. All futur features and fixes are planned to be developped under PHP 8.3, that's why backward compatibility of PHP will not be guaranteed. You can still use version 6.0.x

    Nevertheless it has been decided to rollback compatibility to >=8.1 for 6.1.x for now. We probably will support PHP >=8.1 untill Drupal 10 EOL. Please see 6.1.1
