ltfs -V return 2.4.5.1 instead of 2.4.8.2

Describe the bug
I'm downloading the version 2.4.8.2 to get the LTO10 support, in building and installing the source code, it end up to this result:

[root@ltfs-2.4.8.2-10520]# ./src/ltfs
3622ec LTFS14000I LTFS starting, LTFS version 2.4.5.1 (Prelim), log level 2.

3622ec LTFS17089I Distribution: NAME="Rocky Linux".
3622ec LTFS17089I Distribution: Rocky Linux release 8.10 (Green Obsidian).

I have been surprised to note that the version is "LTFS version 2.4.5.1 (Prelim)"

I cross check with the command which end up the same version:

[root@ltfs-2.4.8.2-10520]# ./src/ltfs -V
LTFS version 2.4.5.1 (Prelim).
LTFS Format Specification version 2.4.0.
[root@ltfs-2.4.8.2-10520]# 

I have been surprised and want to understand what is wrong, i can see that in the following configure.ac file, that this value is still set to 2.4.5.1.

Am i doing something wrong? or this the value i should expect?
