Lock Down Versions of Libraries and Dependencies in Tracery

[KadeMorton]

Description

To prevent disruptions caused by updates to libraries and dependencies, Searx must lock down the versions of its dependencies to specific major versions. This will help maintain a stable and consistent operating environment across different installations of Searx.

Acceptance Criteria

• Catalogue and evaluate current dependencies and their versions in Searx.
• Select stable major versions for each dependency and enforce these in the project’s dependency files.
• Test Searx extensively to ensure that the application operates as expected with these locked versions.
• Update the project documentation to accurately reflect these dependency standards.

Milestones

1. Dependency Evaluation
2. Version Lock Implementation
3. Comprehensive Testing
