Updates to stable versions

Alpha Shape Toolbox version: 1.3.1
Python version: 3.11
Operating System: Windows 10

Description

Identified some libraries that can be updated to allow the tutorial to function properly

What I Did

Attempted to run the tutorial but found the same issues as motioned in https://github.com/bellockk/alphashape/issues/44

Attempted to match my env to that described in requirements.txt (note that this is different than that described in setup.py) and found that many library versions used are no longer stable and fail on install.

pip install shapely==1.7.0

    note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

What I Expected

Successfully installed shapely-1.8.0 Successfully installed scipy-1.5.2

Acceptance Criteria

successful run of the following

python -m venv c:\path\to\myenv c:\path\to\myenv\Scripts\activate.ps1 pip install -r requirements.txt returns: Successfully installed <libraries listed in requirements.txt>
