Update 0.8.x to be compatible with Julia 1.11

[beckobert]

Hi,
I am a complete newbie to both ACE and Julia and tried to install ACEpotentials.jl following the instructions in the documentation, but quickly run into the problem that I am not able to install the new 0.8 version, but only the old 0.6.7.
As a reason, julia specifies:

status --outdated -m
⌅ [3b96b61c] ACEpotentials v0.6.7 (<v0.8.1): julia

I have installed the newest version of Julia, which is 1.11.1. According to the documentation, this should be compatible.

I had a look into the Project.toml file and if the syntax used by julia is similar to the one used by the Poetry Python manager, julia = "~1.10.0" would rule out any version >=1.11.

Can you please adjust this in the Project.toml file or clarify in the documentation, that only Julia 1.10 is supported?

We don't support Julia 1.11 yet. Please use Julia 1.10.

Depending on your needs you may prefer to use ACEpotentials 0.6.x regardless. It is currently a little more mature and more performant; 0.8.x is still a little experimental. However, we haven't tested 0.6.x with Julia 1.11 either and I would recommend to use 1.10 for the time being.

There is currently no immediate plan to test and update for Julia 1.11, it is not a high priority, but will probably happen within the next few months.
