Is there a date for release the new version compatible with Esxi 7.0 U3 ?

Version 1.9 of the driver works with the ESXi-7.0U3a-18825058 standard.
Perhaps there should be a brief guide on how to upgrade from older versions. Below you can see how I did it:
1. Remove older Fling drivers, if any: esxcli software component remove -n VMware-vmkusb-nic-fling
2. Update to the latest profile supported by the driver
3. Install the new driver that corresponds to the Flings driver.
4. Reboot
5. You may have to remove the USB network card from the virtual switch in VMware. This could be the case due to the settings of /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh. With the official guide here, it shouldn't be necessary.
