You can download it on the GLPI Agent github project: https://github.com/glpi-project/glpi-agent/releases/tag/1.8
This version comes with a lot of changes and enhancements for the MSI packaging for Windows:

- 7-zip provided command is now v23.01 version.
- GLPI-AgentMonitor tool is provided in 1.3.0 version and now the installer supports
AGENTMONITOR_NEWTICKET_URLto configure the GLPI url for the open new ticket option.
On the inventory side, a new feature will help you reduce the carbon footprint of your GLPI system: the full inventory postpone
- now, by default, and if your server is a GLPI 10, GLPI Agent can decide to postpone the upload of a full inventory up to 14 times, so about 2 weeks using the default configuration. Until then, the agent will upload partial inventories only containing detected changes.
full-inventory-postpone is a new configuration parameter which value is 14 by default. Setting it to 0, it is still possible to disable this feature coming back to previous normal running.glpi-agent script is also supporting --full option to temporary disable the feature.
The MacOSX package only activates Inventory task by default now. You’ll have to explicitly activate any other tasks you need in a dedicated configuration file.
A lot of fixes and enhancement have also been included. Inventory, RemoteInventory, NetworkDiscovery et NetInventory tasks, but also Proxy and ToolBox plugins, are concerned.
