docling docling-core UPGRADE

Affected: >= 1.5.0 and < 2.74.1

Fixed in: 2.74.1

1. Check installed version

pip show docling-core

2. UPGRADE to 2.74.1

pip install --upgrade "docling-core>=2.74.1"

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.5.0

pip index versions docling-core pip install "docling-core<1.5.0"

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
