Starting with Ruby 3.4.0, base64 will no longer be part of stdlib

[hkockerbeck]

Since I upgraded from Ruby 3.2.x to 3.3.0 a few days ago, I get the following deprecation notice on a Jekyll project that uses safe_yaml:

warning: base64 was loaded from the standard library, but will no longer be part of the default gems since Ruby 3.4.0. Add base64 to your Gemfile or gemspec. Also contact author of safe_yaml-1.0.5 to add base64 into its gemspec.

There was a pull request already, that was deleted: #107
What is the state on this issue?

You can get rid of the warning by doing what it says in it: add base64 to your Gemfile.

I had to do this with both base64 and csv for my jekyll blog.

It seemed better than waiting to see if dependencies were upgraded, if ever.

Reopened a PR for it here #110

That being said, the last commit to this repo was 5 years ago, so I'm not sure what the chances at a merge are.
