Define API as public on Julia >= 1.11

Thanks, but I would be totally fine with just requiring 1.12 and releasing a new version that can use public directly. This is mostly an API package, and it's not like anyone stuck on 1.11 for a while would be missing any functionality.

[devmotion]

1.11 supports public, so updating the julia compat entry to 1.11 would be sufficient.

[tpapp]

That said, you approach may be preferable since we can keep the 1.10 LTS too.

Why not just use Compat.@compat public? I am fine with the dependency.

[devmotion]

To avoid the dependency. IMO it's a bit annoying if simple interface packages such as LogDensityProblems introduce more dependencies than necessary. Moreover, the Compat macro doesn't do anything more than what's done in the PR explicitly: It returns an empty expression on Julia < 1.11 and an Expr(:public, ...) on Julia >= 1.11: https://github.com/JuliaLang/Compat.jl/blob/f2a3730a5dc49098dfd394ba2cbf4b202467f435/src/compatmacro.jl#L43-L50 It seemed a bit much - in particular for an interface package - to load a whole package just to get access to this trivial macro.

Makes sense, thanks! Merging.
