"unable to find crypto footer"

Accessing an encrypted /data partition is currently broken with the error in the title. The whole error message is

I'm running TWRP 3.2.1-0 for the Motorola Athene. My device is a moto g4. (i.e. not a moto g4 plus or a moto g4 play. Just a moto g4.) My OS is LineageOS 14.1-20180219-NIGHTLY-athene (android 7.1.2, kernel 3.10.107-lineageOS).

What other information would you like?

If you look at the commits, the fix for this was merged Jan 2nd. Unfortunately, the most recent release of TWRP was in December, so we're up shit's creek without a paddle short of building it ourselves, which I'm about to try my hand at.

Here's a step-by-step guide I found, if you wanna try your hand at it too. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-compile-twrp-source-step-t3404024
That guide is rather out of date... Let me know if you find a better one.

Edit: @ewtoombs Just found https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-r3-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3494337
Built recently.

@Ashaman- The version you just posted is actually older than the current version.
