Gliner 0.2.22 downgrades transformers version

[ddilbazTT]

I am in a system using transformer 4.52. Gliner 0.2.21 works with transformers 4.52. However, the newest version of gliner ends up downgrading transformers to 4.51:

I can confirm that this issue is reproducible and does not play well with flashdeberta package
Is this intentional behavior or can we raise a fix for this?

Any update on this ticket? We also faced this issue. We needed to upgrade transformers to 4.53.0, which was only possible by downgrading gliner to 0.2.21.

[Isaac-theori]

I've been through the same thing. I hope it gets fixed quickly.

@urchade Can we please unpin and let the library work with the latest version of Transformers? The version it's pinned too is pretty old and Transformers is planning to upgrade to 5.X soon.

[urchade]

fixed now #306

Thank you @urchade!
