Azure Pipeline Task is "End of Life". Replacement?

I have been building Advanced Installer in my Azure Pipelines build using the task using an Azure task `AdvancedInstaller @2`. But now, every time I build I get this warning message:

##[warning]Task 'Advanced Installer Build' version 2 (AdvancedInstaller@2) is dependent on a Node version (10) that is end-of-life. Contact the extension owner for an updated version of the task. Task maintainers should review Node upgrade guidance: https://aka.ms/node-runner-guidance
So... is there a replacement task? Is there an `AdvancedInstaller@3` task or something like it?

Hello,

Please note that the warning can be ignored, as it does not affect the task.

It is indeed true that we support multiple versions and it looks like this warning comes up from time to time.

After discussing with the developer about this, it turns out we can ignore the warning.

However, I will create a task to see whether it is possible to remove the previous versions (like 10, 16, etc.). We haven't so far because some customers might still be using them and we did not want to interrupt their pipelines.

Best regards,
