v0.6.3-beta - Dependency Stabilization

This release focuses on stabilizing the Python environment, improving dependency consistency, and addressing multiple security vulnerabilities identified during development.

Key Improvements

• Resolved multiple dependency conflicts across the pipeline, including issues involving PyTorch, cryptography, and authentication-related packages.
• Updated core libraries to more recent and secure versions, including:
  • cryptography
  • requests
  • urllib3
  • Jinja2
  • pydicom
  • PyJWT
  • pillow
  • future
• Fixed compatibility issues between cffi and cryptography.
• Restored compatibility within the pyasn1 ecosystem to ensure stable integration with Google authentication libraries.
• Upgraded typing_extensions to align with the current pydantic stack.

Environment Stability

• The project environment is now fully installable using:
  pip install -r requirements.txt
• Dependency consistency verified with:
  pip check (no broken requirements found)

Security

• Reduced the number of actionable vulnerabilities identified by Safety.
• Remaining items (to be addressed in future releases):
  • protobuf
  • pyasn1 (pending coordinated upgrade with pyasn1-modules)
  • torch (requires coordinated update with torchaudio and torchvision)

Reproducibility and Research Integration

• Added .zenodo.json for Zenodo integration and DOI-based archival.
• Added CITATION.cff to support standardized software citation.

Notes

• This is a beta release intended to stabilize the development environment.
• No breaking changes to core pipeline functionality are expected.
• Further dependency upgrades will be handled incrementally in future releases.
