> This problem is compounded by it only being possible to link one version of Ring in to the same program. I am planning to fix this in ring early in 2021 (January)... > Even if you don't depend on Ring directly, Ring could appear as a dependency of many of your dependencies. This forces you into upgrading all of your Ring-depending dependencies in lockstep. You cannot upgrade any until all of these dependencies support the same latest version of Ring. Then you won't need to upgrade everything in lockstep. That said, I still do recommend everybody only use the latest version.

Thanks, this would be great! Recently had to help someone at work update our dependencies and it was difficult to justify why it was so difficult. Ring was unfortunately the cause of the difficulty.
