You can update using the snapshots now, or wait (weeks?) until the volunteer DLL 
maintainers have enough updates for a new release and enough free time from 
their real lives, to run tests, build, package, and ship a new release, which 
could cause other issues with other external packages.

You could also fix the actual problem by updating jansi now.
