5.8.2 / 33.0.4 breaks notifications

[da5nsy]

I'm noticing this just for Deck, and haven't had chance to check other functionality yet, but it seems like the recent update may've broken notifications.
It was working fine before the update.

I asked an LLM and it said this was the issue, which has now been backported, but I'm out of my depth so take that with a pinch of salt.

I guess the fix will appear in the next version of the notifications app.

Talk (Spreed) was unable to send messages because of this. Had to disable Notifications (and maybe Client Push) App.

@joseph - since the fix has been backported, will users who install/update now get the fixed version already? Is there a way that I could "re-update" and get the backport?
(trying to understand how cloudron packaging works and it looks like nextcloud just pulls the current hosted version - https://git.cloudron.io/packages/nextcloud-app/-/blob/master/Dockerfile?ref_type=heads#L15)
