Would it be possible to publish a new release?

The latest release does not include fix for #873

This means that all projects depending on opentelemetry-otlp need to have protoc at build time. It's a big and heavy dependency and some projects would prefer to avoid it, even at build time.

Would it be possible to publish e.g. 0.18.1 release?

I will prepare a release by the end of the month

Every now and again I bump into #873 on various projects and add some flavor of brew install protoc to the relevant machines -- it'd be great to not need that!

Is there anything you'd like help with to cut a new release? I could lend a hand here instead of patching protoc installers in, next time it comes up.

Hi @bearcage Sorry for the delay. I think we the only blocking PR is #969. I have the patch for MSRV once it merged I will clean up and add any missing changlog

[bearcage]

Oh, awesome — no need to apologize, you're the one doing the maintenance work! Thanks for coming back to this, it'll be nice to have one less dependency to carry around.
