Updated	N/A

Overview

RAPIDS v22.06 was hotfixed to pin the cuda-python package dependency to a maximum version of 11.7.0 for several RAPIDS libraries.

Rationale

cuda-python version 11.7.1 was recently released, which switched its dependency on the cudatoolkit package to the cuda-toolkit package. This dependency change had unintended consequences for several RAPIDS libraries, including blocking installation for some users.

Impact

All users are recommended to use the latest 22.06.01 version of all RAPIDS libraries.
