@kibertoad just out of curiosity. Why didn't you merge the PR #406 prepared by @mceachen?

Follow up would be @kibertoad can you please create a release so that those depending on jake can be updated?

Yes, a new release please. We have many Component Governance alerts hinging on this being available.

Hello @kibertoad Our pipelines currently stand broken due to unavailability of a fixed release of async. Is there any ETA that we can hope to see the release cut?

[VamseeInala]

+1 Please let us know when this fix will be available

Waiting for the async audit fix urgently, our production deployment is blocked because of this. Request to kindly expedite.
