kraken 7.0 introduces major changes to training, inference, model handling, and extensibility.
If you are upgrading from 6.0.x as an average user, start with Breaking Changes and Command Line Behavior.

Installing the Beta

Install the latest available 7.0 pre-release from PyPI:

$ pip install --upgrade --pre kraken

Install this specific beta explicitly:

Corrects a regression where blla.segment() would not load a default model when none was explicitly defined on the CLI.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes a regression in tag-based recognition.
• Pin rich to below 14.1 and relax pytorch pin to 2.9.x.
