Referencing workspace dependency breaks external package installs with pnpm

Line 46 in 2ab9944

"dids": "workspace:^3.2.0",

When trying to add did-session as a dependency to any project I get this error:

 ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION_INSIDE_WORKSPACE  In : No matching version found for dids@^3.3.1 inside the workspace

This error happened while installing the dependencies of did-session@0.1.3

Consider publishing the package with correct version reference instead of workspace:x
it seems this is the version published to npmjs? #107

Maybe it was caused by using an old pnpm version to publish, it seems workspace references are correctly replaced in recent versions? pnpm/pnpm#4348

Note: Downgrading to did-session@0.1.1 fixes the issue (it seems it was introduced yesterday with 0.1.3) but many repos usually have floating versions like ^0.1.1 so this release will break any repository using pnpm if the version is not pinned

thanks @ottodevs, yeah workspaces should resolve when publishing, thinking it is pnpm/node version and issue there, ill look and republish soon
