RecursiveArrayTools limited < 3 in Bigleaf v0.3.0 prevents use of Symbolics.jl >= 6.0

Hi,

In the current version of the Project.toml, only julia 1.6 is defined in the compat. This is quite restrictive however to use with recent versions of other Julia packages. For example, I couldn't install Symbolics.jl in v.6 or higher with this compat bound. Could it be possible to make this less restrictive? For now, I made a personal fix on a fork, but would nice if something similar was included in a new relase.

Many thanks in advance,
Olivier

To my understanding Julia 1.6 is a lower version bound and it should run with all versions Julia 1.x with x >= 6. Please, point me to the relevant resources, if I am wrong.

My apologies for my misunderstanding, you are indeed 100% correct: for packages/julia in version 1.x.x. or higher, you don't need to specify the upper bound for all versions with same major version number.

After some further inspection, I think I found the issue:

• In v0.3.0 of Bigleaf.jl, RecursiveArrayTools is defined to be within [2.2.0, 3[ (see here).
• In the current main branch, of Bigleaf.jl, RecursiveArrayTools can also be v3 or higher.

The problem with v.0.3.0 being restricted < 3 for ReucursiveArrayTools, is that this limits SymbolicsIndexingInterface < 0.3 (see here). Therefore I cannot use the newest version of Symbolics, which requires SymbolicsIndexingInterface > 0.3.14 (see here), in comination with Bigleaf v0.3.0.

Therefore, the fix to my issue would be a new release of Bigleaf.jl with the dependencies as described in the current version of the Project.toml (e.g. as v0.3.1). In the meantime, I will install the package directly from github instead of the registry. I'll also modify the title of the issue to reflect this.

I created a new release 0.3.1 from master branch with updated dependency version.

Thanks a lot!

If you agree, I'll close this issue as it is fixed by #53
