World-age issue in StableHashTraits dependency

[kbarros]

A world-age issue appears when Julia is launched without compiled modules. Create a fresh environment including only GLMakie:

julia --compiled-modules=no
] activate --temp
add GLMakie

Trying to load GLMakie gives this error:

julia> using GLMakie
ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching cleanup_name(::String)
The applicable method may be too new: running in world age 66051, while current world is 66217.

Closest candidates are:
  cleanup_name(::Any) (method too new to be called from this world context.)

The problem may originate in StableHashTraits, and I filed an issue there: https://github.com/beacon-biosignals/StableHashTraits.jl/issues/36. The purpose of this issue is to notify other Makie users who may encounter the same problem. In particular, this will cause a failure of JuliaHub documentation builds that rely on Makie for images.

I also got that when I tried to use Makie as a weak dependency see https://github.com/yeesian/ArchGDAL.jl/pull/404 with Makie 0.19. It disappeared when using Makie 0.20.

This issues has been closed upstream in 1.1.3. Should we increase the bound for StableHashTraits to version 1.1.3 and could we also push this bounds change to Makie 0.19?

We no longer depend on StableHashTraits
