[Buildroot] socat version

All,

Buildroot has been using the socat 2.0.0 series for a while.  We
recently ran into a socat issue which was fixed upstream, but in a
1.7.2.4 release.  For rears, the socat people released a version 1
release and a version 2 release in tandem, but for some reason, the
latest release was only 1.7.2.4.  Reading about socat 2 at
http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/socat-version2.html I see it is
(was?) described as "beta".

So I was wondering: is buildroot on the 2.0.0 series under the
normally sane presumption that 2.0 must be newer than 1.7, or is there
an actual preference for the version 2 releases?

Danomi -
