When will snorkel officially releases 0.9.9 version on conda?

I've been waiting for 0.9.9 on conda for long days, I wonder what's wrong with new version release, I can do a little favor.

I saw the merged into master PR with updated dep-s for sklearn<1.1, it would be great if a new tag was created with all the merged changes

Hi yinxiangshi and RadionBik,

Apologies for the delay here, need to resolve some CI issues before the release can be cut which are currently being worked on. Will update here once it has been. Thanks for the patience!

Since I needed it myself, I have repackaged snorkel into pip package snorkel2. No changes to the library, just removed requirements which were making the library obsolete. Right now can only be installed by pip.

pip install snorkel2  

The github is here, you can get in touch with me in the Snorkel2 discussions board

Apologies for the delay! The repo was in dependency and CI hell there for a bit, but resolved now. Dependencies have been updated for most libraries. v0.9.9 has been cut (PR #1700) and pushed to pypi (https://pypi.org/project/snorkel/). It should be available on conda within a day or so (I'll respond here again and close the issue when it is).

We previously had upper bounds on most dependencies on purpose for stability reasons, but have decided to leave them open to higher versions moving forward for better forward compatibility, so there should be fewer issues like this moving forward. It's an open area of debate which is better practice (see https://iscinumpy.dev/post/bound-version-constraints/ for some relevant discussion on the topic), but the latter seems like the appropriate choice for now. Thanks again everyone for your patience!

@bhancock8 thank you so much for cutting a release and addressing all of the issues it solves! It was quite difficult to use snorkel before this release due to stale dependencies and I think this will address the problem :)

@bhancock8 thanks for preparing the new release. Since snorkel is back, I have removed snorkel2 from Pypi to avoid polluting the Python ecosystem.

[bhancock8]

Thanks @cerquide! And if there are ever specific libraries that need updating and you're able to make a PR that passes tests, that's a super efficient way for us to review and merge things much faster. Per the above, hopefully the new policy of leaving open ended upper bounds makes such PRs necessary less frequently as well.

v0.9.9 is now on conda (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/snorkel)—I'm going to mark this issue as resolved.
