MTL Release

Emily Pillmore announced the release of mtl 2.3! I generally avoid MTL, but I am excited about this release because it is the first release to support the current major version of transformers. I have not even been able to test my software with recent versions of transformers because dependencies use MTL, which has been incompatible. I am looking forward to clearing all of the packdeps notifications for my projects.

It usually takes some time for the full hierarchy of dependencies to support a major release of a library that is as widely used as MTL. Four of my public projects use the transformers library directly, and attempting to bump the dependency version upper bound on one of them revealed that the latest releases of two other dependencies are incompatible with this latest release of MTL.

  • The random library is not yet compatible, but a fix has been committed.
  • The tasty library is not yet compatible, but a fix has been committed.

These dependency issues currently block all four public projects. I will wait for random and tasty releases and then try again.

I see that ginger will also need to be updated. I will look into that soon.
