Update allowed versions of Statsfuns #29
Description
If I look at the package status for the main branch of MixedModels.jl it seems that MixedModelsSerialization.jl constrains the version of StatsFuns.jl which, in turn constrains the version of LogExpFunctions.jl.
(MixedModels) pkg> st -o -m
Project MixedModels v5.8.3
Status `~/.julia/dev/MixedModels/Manifest-v1.12.toml`
⌃ [f6369f11] ForwardDiff v1.4.1 (<v1.4.5)
⌃ [a0844989] Gamma v1.1.0 (<v1.2.0)
⌅ [2ab3a3ac] LogExpFunctions v0.3.29 (<v1.0.1): StatsFuns
⌅ [bac558e1] OrderedCollections v1.8.2 (<v2.0.1): NamedArrays
⌅ [4c63d2b9] StatsFuns v1.5.2 (<v2.2.1): MixedModelsSerialization
⌅ [354b36f9] StringViews v1.3.7 (<v2.0.1): Arrow
However, if I dev MixedModelsSerialization.jl by itself then it uses the most recent version of StatsFuns.jl (v2.2.1).
(MixedModelsSerialization) pkg> st

I would like to get rid of the constraints on packages from MixedModels.jl but I am not sure how to go about it. Any ideas @palday ?

It turns out that
MixedModels.jlhad a compat bound of "0.2.0" indocs/src/Project.tomldmbates commentedon Aug 19, 2026
@palday I noticed that
MixedModels.jllistsMixedModelsSerializationindocs/src/Project.tomlbut, AFAICS, doesn't include it in the code. In fact, I removed it from theMixedModels/docs/Project.tomland was still able to build the docs. Should I check in that change toMixedModels.jlor would you prefer to retainMixedModelsSerializationin the dependencies for the docs?palday commentedon Aug 19, 2026
Let's remove it! I think I was planning on having a worked example of it, but I don't know what past me was thinking for sure. Either way, fewer dependencies is better.

Which branch of the
MixedModels.jlrepository should I do this in? I have made the change in thepa/gradient-fablebranch but it really doesn't have anything to do with the gradients. Should I make the change in a separate branch or keep it in thepa/gradient-fablebranch?palday commentedon Aug 19, 2026
In a separate branch / new PR, please and thank you!
