Pre-release

Release Notes - v1.1.0

This release focuses on improving the stability of the build, enhancing the developer experience, and completely overhauling the project documentation for clarity and ease of use.

✨ Key Highlights

• Build Stability: Fixed critical dependency issues that were causing the GitHub Actions build to fail. The requirements.txt file has been updated to include all necessary packages (langchain-chroma, langchain-community), ensuring a reliable and reproducible environment.

• Comprehensive Documentation Overhaul: All documentation has been rewritten from the ground up to be more concise, relevant, and user-friendly. This includes:

  • A streamlined README.md with a clear "Getting Started" guide.
  • A practical DEVELOPMENT.md focused on contributor workflows.
  • A simplified ARCHITECTURE.md with a clear system diagram.
  • A scannable FEATURES.md and a high-level ROADMAP.md.
  • Redundant documents and academic jargon have been removed to reduce confusion.

• Robust Database Management:

  • A new utility script, scripts/cleanup_chroma.py, has been added to help developers manage and clean up local ChromaDB databases.
  • The .gitignore file has been updated to correctly ignore all ChromaDB directories.

Fixes

• Resolved ModuleNotFoundError for langchain_chroma and langchain_community by adding them to requirements.txt.
• Corrected text splitter initialization in document_processor.py.

What's Next?

With a stable build and clean documentation, the project is now in a great position for future feature development. See the updated Project Roadmap for our plans.
