Minor patch release

App

Fixed

• bumped several dependencies to address security vulnerabilities.

---

Fabric

Fixed

• Fixed validation of parameters of plugins.precision.MixedPrecision (#17687)
• Fixed an issue with HPU imports leading to performance degradation (#17788)

---

PyTorch

Changed

• Changes to the NeptuneLogger (#16761):
  • It now supports neptune-client 0.16.16 and neptune >=1.0, and we have replaced the log() method with append() and extend().
  • It now accepts a namespace Handler as an alternative to Run for the run argument. This means that you can call it NeptuneLogger(run=run["some/namespace"]) to log everything to the some/namespace/ location of the run.

Fixed

• Fixed validation of parameters of plugins.precision.MixedPrecisionPlugin (#17687)
• Fixed deriving default map location in LightningModule.load_from_checkpoint when there is an extra state (#17812)
