Request to Increase Supported Marshmallow Version

[sneakyPad]

Hello,

I am currently using the gradient package in a project that also depends on the langchain package. Unfortunately, I've run into a dependency conflict between these two packages, specifically with regards to the marshmallow library.

gradient currently supports marshmallow versions below 3.0, while langchain (via dataclasses-json) requires marshmallow version 3.3.0 or later. Here are the specific version requirements:

• gradient: requires marshmallow versions <3.0
• langchain: requires dataclasses-json version >=0.5.7,<0.6.0
• dataclasses-json: requires marshmallow version >=3.3.0,<4.0.0

I wanted to ask if there are any plans to update gradient to support newer versions of marshmallow, or if there is a specific reason why gradient requires marshmallow version below 3.0?

It would be a great help if gradient could be updated to support later versions of marshmallow to resolve this dependency conflict. If updating gradient to support newer versions of marshmallow is not possible or would be too disruptive, I would appreciate any advice or recommendations how to solve it on my end! Thanks!
