Release current main branch to a new release version

[25077667]

Hello,

I'm currently utilizing your impressive repository and have found it to be quite useful.

I've been using the latest release, "Release_3.11," and I've noticed that it generates a significant number of compilation warnings when paired with gcc 13.2.1. However, I've found that the main branch, which can be found at https://github.com/serge1/ELFIO/commit/8ae6cec5d60495822ecd57d736f66149da9b1830, works perfectly fine for me.

I'm curious if you have plans to create a new version based on the changes made in https://github.com/serge1/ELFIO/commit/8ae6cec5d60495822ecd57d736f66149da9b1830? This would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, it will be not a problem to generate a new release. I'm wondering what kind of warnings do you get with 3.11. What compilation options do you use?

@serge1 TL;DR: Using GCC 13.2.1 Enabling all compilation warnings, including non-standard ones, and treating these warnings as errors.
