Please make a new release, 1.1.9 doesn't build on Guix #343
Description
Would it be possible to make a new release for readstat so that distributions that typically package things based on release tarballs can update it?
Guix currently has 1.1.9 which is the latest release at the moment (early 2023), but it appears that the package fails to build and that the fix has already been committed here: 718d491
Many packages depend on readstat so the Guix maintainers will probably opt for a patch if there's no new release, but that's a bit hacky especially if the issue in 1.1.9 is not limited to the Guix packaging system.

Seconding this from the Julia side, @evanmiller. We build ReadStat_jll from the v1.1.9 tag, so our users are on the 2023 release while dev has picked up 58 commits — including several parser memory-safety fixes, which matter to us because people point this library at files they didn't write.
Any chance of a quick tag off dev?
Thanks for keeping this going — the merge activity this year has been lovely to see.
