Description

When installing latest version of cheerio NPM gives the following warning:

npm warn deprecated whatwg-encoding@3.1.1: Use @exodus/bytes instead for a more spec-conformant and faster implementation

Reason

The package whatwg-encoding got deprecated with an alternate to move to https://github.com/ExodusOSS/bytes.

Dependency tree

cheerio -> encoding-sniffer -> whatwg-encoding

This is the only deprecated warning we are getting in our Docusaurus instance.

As of today, encoding-sniffer has updated to use exodus/bytes internally.

The latest is 1.0.2.

Could this be updated accordingly, please? :)

PR #5163

I am also having this issue due to a transitive dependency.
Can #5157 please be patched and merged?

[DylanKroft]

Also facing the same issue. Would it be possible to get a new release out?

[atakanbayrak]

Facing the same issue, it would be perfect if we get a new release out.

It looks like this project has only had Dependabot activity for the last 2-3 months. I'm not sure if the maintainer is still interested.
