Can't get Entire Video description

[kurty83]

When using

youtube-dl.exe --write-info-json https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx
or
youtube-dl.exe --write-description https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx

I'm getting partial description, each time a part of description is cutted with "..." at 161 characters.
I can't get why ?! real bug or do i something wrong ? i'm the only one ?

Looks like this issue has been fixed #25937

Note: The last (and, therefore, "current") version is 2020.06.16.1, which is over a month old.

Is there any indication when a new version will be out, incorporating this fix (the problem of the description being truncated)?

Given that we used to get new versions like every few days or so, this seems long overdue.

Replying because I got CC'd, but I'm not particularly knowledgable here:

Sergey - who has been handling releases since as long as I have been using youtube-dl - has been inactive for 10+ days now. I don't otherwise know what the dev/mod hierarchy is for this project. But given the current pandemic, I can only hope that he and his loved ones are well and in good health.
