Required seqeval dependency is outdated and not maintained

One of the required dependencies of GLiNER seqeval looks to be outdated. Its breaking setuptools which is causing issues when trying to install GLiNER. The development of this package seems to have halted in 2022 which means that it will keep raising issue. Could you maybe port important code from the package to GLiNER and remove the dependency? Else build systems like Bazel or Pants might have difficulties rolling out GLiNER in prod systems.

Also looking at the dependency I feel it could be pretty easy to port or use another more active package.

If repo org agree's that this is an issue I'm more than happy to make a PR to resolve this

hi @roberth-plutoflume, sure you can make a PR

Ok great Ill push it from my private github account

I have the code ready in a branch but cant push it due to access rights. I tried to find any guidance on contributing but can't find it.

ERROR: Permission to urchade/GLiNER.git denied to RobertHGit.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

My bad was doing it wrong of course
