Package cannot be installed

I'm not sure what is causing this but as of this morning I get

Sorry for the confusion here.

The underlying cause of this is that hashes are broken on 1.10. There is a fix pending in #43, but the change to mark older versions as not supporting 1.10 (https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/98962) got merged before #43, and so this prevents hash traits from being installed on 1.10. While this is arguably correct (there is a bug that comes up in 1.10), that was causing some real grief downstream; https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/98962 has now been reverted, and StableHashTraits should install "properly" on 1.10 (but still has the bug!!! This will mostly just lead to cache misses, as it is used in Makie.jl to cache some computations).

Once #43 merges (today!) there were then be a (properly) working version for 1.10 and I will mark the older versions of StableHashTraits as incompatible with 1.10 in a new PR to the general registry.

Thanks for the explanation and for the fix.
