New formal release needed for MinGW64 users

[HunterZ]

Package managers for both MSYS and VCPKG currently ship yaml-cpp version 0.7.0 based packages for MinGW64 because it is the latest formal release. Unfortunately this results in build errors due to issue #1026, which was fixed long after 0.7.0 released. Any chance of a new formal release so that people don't have to forego the benefit of package managers in order to use yaml-cpp in their MinGW64 projects? Thanks!

Hi HunterZ,

It seems that i have same error on v0.7.0 using cmake 3.25 and mingw64 under MSYS2, any idea to solve it without taking previous version ?

0.7.0 is broken. It's unusable. It can't be fixed without rebuilding. Here is the fix that was made sometime after it released: https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/issues/1026#issuecomment-1122305522
