• (dependencies) Corrected schema-v6 version

v1.0-rc3

• (bin) Initial version of local split-packages.sh

v1.0-rc2

• (polyglot) Heavily refactored API to improve integration with HTTP layer
• (instructor) Object hydration via constructor parameters with support for parameter nullability and default values.
• (instructor) Object hydration via getters and setters (recognizes nullable parameters and default values).

• (instructor) Support for mixed property type.
• (schema) Introduced 2 versions of the schema package - Symfony 7 (default) and Symfony 6 (compatibility).
• (inference) Added withHttpClientPreset() to Inference and StructuredOutput facades
• (http) Configurable stream chunk size to optimize performance
• (http) Replaced debugging middleware with EventSourceMiddleware - generates events for HTTP requests, added 2 built-in listeners (PrintToConsole, DispatchHttpEvents)

v1.0-rc1

• (all) Multiple breaking changes - proceed with caution
• (instructor) the Instructor class is being replaced with StructuredOutput class; the old class will be kept for some time to allow for a smooth transition.
• (all) Common conventions for working with StructuredOutput, Inference, and Embeddings classes
• (examples) All examples have been updated to use the new StructuredOutput class and recommended create(), generate() methods
• (docs) Updated documentation to reflect the new StructuredOutput class and its usage
• (instructor) Extracted structured output config into a separate file config/structured.php (and removed from config/llm.php)
• (instructor) Added structured output config object
• (instructor) Cleaned up ChatTemplate class
• (instructor) Response and response streams are now cached after the first call, so multiple calls to StructuredOutputResponse::response() or StructuredOutputResponse::stream() do not cause re-processing (deserialization, validation, transformation) of the response value
• (instructor) StructuredOutput class offers fluent API for creating structured output requests
• (instructor) StructuredOutputResponse now offers getXxx() methods for getting the response value as a specific type (e.g. getString(), getInt(), getFloat(), getBool(), getArray(), getObject())
• (instructor) Removed input argument from StructuredOutput methods and StructuredOutputRequest class - use messages instead - (examples) Added StructuredOutput fluent API example
• (polyglot) Added fluent API calls to Inference class
• (polyglot) Added fluent API calls to Embeddings class
• (polyglot) Corrections in inference drivers, fixed defects in JSON/JSON Schema modes
• (polyglot) Fixed error in selection of embeddings driver
• (polyglot) Added withDebug() support to Embeddings class
• (polyglot) Added experimental support for HuggingFace inference API
• (all) Multiple changes, improvements and refactorings in the codebase
• (all) Updated docs and examples to reflect the latest changes
