No migration tool yet for Azure DevOps Server 2020 Update 1?

Hello,

I'm working on a migration of our on-premise TFS 2018 to Azure DevOps. I did a first step now migrating to Azure DevOps server 2020 and chose to install the latest Azure DevOps Server 2020 Update 1 (version 18.181.31230.2).
Now when I'm trying to run any of the two latest version of the migration tool, they both fail due to incompatible versions. Version available were:
Data migration tool for Azure DevOps version 18.170.31123.2 and 18.170.31125.2. Both fail with warning:
"The version of this tool is not intended to be used with this version of Azure DevOps Server. It's intended for use on Azure DevOps Server 2020.0.1." and "The version of this tool is not intended to be used with this version of Azure DevOps Server. It's intended for use on Azure DevOps Server 2020"

I'm guessing here the problem is the Azure DevOps server version it too new so there is not yet a migration tool version supporting this.

When will a version of the migration tool supporting the latest Azure DevOps server be available and is there some sort of a workaoround to bypass the version check to use one of the current versions?
I would not like to go the path to downgrade the DevOps server installation as I do expect risk for issues if trying that.

I am having the same issue. According to the docs, the new data migration tool is supposed to come out "about 3 weeks" after this release. Update 1 was RTW on May 25, 2021, so we are sitting at about 7 weeks instead of the "about 3 weeks" that they said it would normally take.

I hope they get it released soon, but won't be holding my breath.
