The last release is from June 2022 https://github.com/probcomp/Gen.jl/releases/tag/v0.4.5.

Let's create a new tag v0.4.6 to reflect these changes

A minor upgade to v0.5.0 might be more appropriate since the following PR added a new feature: https://github.com/probcomp/Gen.jl/pull/495

Yes, a tagged release is a good idea! I can make the PR if everyone else is okay with it. But I don't think we should do a minor upgrade yet. Julia has this convention that when you do a minor upgrade for pre-1.0 versions, it actually breaks compatibility with other packages that currently have their Gen compatibility set to 0.4. So I would reserve upgrading to 0.5.0 for a intentionally breaking change.

As an additional thought, I think it might be a good idea to fix this particular issue before making a new release, just because it is a regression introduced by a recent change: https://github.com/probcomp/Gen.jl/issues/477

I still haven't had time to get around to it though. But I can set aside time to do it this weekend.
