3.21.9.0 and above contain a change that removed the filename which triggered the event when watching single files. The upstream bug report is at https://github.com/inotify-tools/inotify-tools/issues/157 and an incomplete pull request to fix it is at https://github.com/inotify-tools/inotify-tools/pull/159. `inotifywait -q foo bar` only outputs ` OPEN` when either file is opened, while 3.20.11.0 and below would output `bar OPEN` when bar is opened.
