v0.11.1: Fix engine import; upgrade to Outlines v1.x; temporarily disable vLLM

✨ New features and improvements

• Migrate to support Outlines >= 1.0 (#146)

🔴 Bug fixes

• Resolve #145: direct engine object import didn't work (#146)

⚠️ Backwards incompatibilities

• vllm support has been temporarily disabled (#146). This is because vllm currently doesn't support outlines >= 1.0. Will be re-enabled once vllm migrates to outlines v1.

v0.11.0: Distillation, caching, making engine dependencies optional

✨ New features and improvements

• New Distillation task that allows to distill a local model using setfit or model2vec. Currently only implemented for the classification task. (#138)
• Caching support: Pipeline objects now optionally cache documents to ensure that no document is processed twice unnecessarily. (#140)
• Missing third-party dependencies (like vllm, instructor, outlines, ...) at import time are now allowed. This enables running sieves with the engine of your choice without having to have all engine dependencies allowed. If you still want to install all dependencies, install with pip install sieves[all]. (#137)

🔴 Bug fixes

-

⚠️ Backwards incompatibilities

• Engine dependencies (except for outlines, which is used as a default engine) are not installed by default. If you want to install all engine dependencies, install with pip install sieves[all].
