LightwaveRF Binding Updated

I’ve posted a query re LightwaveRF binding, but it seems no one is monitoring the forum for those, so I am hoping one of the followers of this thread may reply. I am new to OpenHAB but I have managed to set-up a few items, however, I am finding the LightwaveRF binding troublesome (dimmer status not being read properly and having had to switch send/receive ports). Is the version of the binding included in 1.8.3 the newest there is, or is there a more current version somewhere? This thread refers to 1.8.0-alpha, which seems older considering its name. Or am I hopelessly lost?

Any suggestions would be welcome before I throw the towel in on LightwaveRF… Thank you.
