When do we get Avro gem for 1.7.7?

Hi All,

I was trying to install the avro gem and got an error saying,

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::UnsatisfiableDependencyError)
Unable to resolve dependency: avro (= 1.7.6) requires multi-json (>= 0)

I learnt that, this was fixed in 1.7.7 (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1459) but the gem page(
http://rubygems.org/gems/avro) still shows 1.7.6. When do we get the latest
version? or How can build the gem locally by applying the patch?

Thanks,
Lenin
