Are there any plans to release https://github.com/Empact/roxml/pull/62?
@Empact would you have a chance to cut a release soon? The deprecation warning is noisy on ruby 2.6.5 and will block adoption on ruby 2.7.0.
@Empact looks like the fix for this issue is already in master (commit 7fceaccb768ccc715aea536f5818d2f5f320c9df) but hasn't been included in a new gem version. Anything we can do to help with that? It would be great for all us who use quickbooks-ruby to be able to use this gem with Ruby 2.7.
@rmacklin thanks for your work on updating this gem last year. Any chance you have some influence here?
Cutting a gem requires the attention of someone listed as an author over on rubygems - which is separate from github privileges.
To work around this, I've been pointing my Gemfile directly at github at the hash including the fixes I needed.
@lostapathy thanks for the info! Looks like you're an admin for the github repo. Is @Empact the only author on rubygems? And any insights into why it's taken so long to move this forward?
Also, thanks for the suggestion for the Gemfile. For anyone else here because they use quickbooks-ruby, I added gem 'roxml', github: 'Empact/roxml', ref: '0d6fd8e'
and that seems to have fixed errors with quickbooks-ruby and Ruby 2.7.
There's 4 authors listed over on rubygems but I think Empact is by far the most recent person to participate here.

Unfortunately I can't help either. I've also been using a git ref in my Gemfile to work around the gem not having a new release on rubygems.
I can release this today. Does anyone want to step up as a maintainer?

Thank you, that would be great!

I would defer to those who already have push access (e.g. @lostapathy).
Even though I was tagged in this thread, I don't really have experience with this gem. It's only in our application as a transitive dependency, so I've never worked with it directly. I opened #62 to fix the BigDecimal
deprecations when I was upgrading our application to ruby 2.6 and that small change was the extent of my contributions.
That said, I could help out with cutting and publishing releases.
One thought: asking for a new maintainer might warrant its own dedicated issue which could potentially be linked from the top of the README.
Released: https://rubygems.org/gems/roxml https://github.com/Empact/roxml/releases/tag/v4.1.0
Let me know if you run into any issues with the release, will be prompt next time.
Thanks all for the help - it takes a village. ;)
Thanks, @Empact! So appreciate this!
Please release a new gem version to accommodate the BigDecimal changes, thanks!
