This code change updates the `LLMExtractionStrategy` class to handle schema extraction when the schema is non-empty. Previously, the schema extraction was only triggered when the `extract_type` was set to "schema", regardless of whether a schema was provided. With this update, the schema extraction will only be performed if the `extract_type` is "schema" and a non-empty schema is provided. This ensures that the extraction strategy behaves correctly and avoids unnecessary schema extraction when not needed. Also "numpy" is removed from default installation mode.
Significant improvements in text processing and performance:
- 🚀 **Dependency reduction**: Removed dependency on spaCy model for text chunk labeling in cosine extraction strategy.
- 🤖 **Transformer upgrade**: Implemented text sequence classification using a transformer model for labeling text chunks.
- ⚡ **Performance enhancement**: Improved model loading speed due to removal of spaCy dependency.
- 🔧 **Future-proofing**: Laid groundwork for potential complete removal of spaCy dependency in future versions.
These changes address issue #68 and provide a foundation for faster, more efficient text processing in Crawl4AI.
A slew of exciting updates to improve the crawler's stability and robustness! 🎉
- 💻 **UTF encoding fix**: Resolved the Windows \"charmap\" error by adding UTF encoding.
- 🛡️ **Error handling**: Implemented MaxRetryError exception handling in LocalSeleniumCrawlerStrategy.
- 🧹 **Input sanitization**: Improved input sanitization and handled encoding issues in LLMExtractionStrategy.
- 🚮 **Database cleanup**: Removed existing database file and initialized a new one.
This commit updates the version number to v0.2.73 and makes corresponding changes in the README.md and Dockerfile.
Docker file install the default mode, this resolve many of installation issues.
Additionally, the installation instructions are updated to include support for different modes. Setup.py doesn't have anymore dependancy on Spacy.

This commit updates the setup.py file to exclude the torch, transformers, and nltk dependencies from the install_requires section. Instead, it creates separate extras_require sections for different environments, including all requirements, excluding torch for Colab, and excluding torch, transformers, and nltk for the crawl environment.
