The current requirements in setup.py include shapely < 2.0.0.

"shapely < 2.0.0",

The version 2.0.0 of Shapely has been released in December 2022.

It would be great to update the dependency, so that users of your package that also depend on shapely directly don't have to use an outdated version.

We pinned the Shapely version because of a dependency issue with Colab (#1860). I'll check if this is still an issue and see about updating the Shapely version.

This issue is affecting us. We use shapely 2 and apache beam python SDK. The latest beam (2.50.0) requires google-cloud-aiplatform<2.0,>=1.26.0, which requires shapely<2. This is blocking our upgrade to apache-beam[gcp]==2.50.0.

Any news on this?

This has been fixed in our 1.35.0 release.
