AI Summary

This release introduces search methods to handshakes and file input for cloud chunkers, alongside a major breaking change that standardizes return types to the generic `Chunk` class.

Key Highlights

  • Added `search` methods to Qdrant, Weaviate, Pinecone, MongoDB, and Pgvector handshakes for quick retrieval checks.
  • Added `file` input support to all cloud chunkers for easier file processing.
  • All chunkers now return the generic `Chunk` type instead of specific types like `SemanticChunk` or `SentenceChunk`.

Breaking Changes

  • All chunkers now return `Chunk` type instead of `SemanticChunk`, `SentenceChunk`, or `RecursiveChunk`.
  • Cloud `SemanticChunker` now matches the local `SemanticChunker` implementation.

New Features

  • Search methods for various vector databases (Qdrant, Weaviate, Pinecone, MongoDB, Pgvector).
  • File input support for cloud chunkers.

## ✨ Highlights

- Added `search` methods to handshakes for quick retrieval checks! Now you can search things directly with `QdrantHandshake`, `WeaviateHandshake`, `PineconeHandshake`, `MongoDBHandshake` and `PgvectorHandshake`.
- Added a `file` input for all the cloud chunkers for easier processing of the files directly!

## 🔨 Breaking

- All chunkers now return `Chunk` type, instead of `SemanticChunk`, `SentenceChunk` or `RecursiveChunk`, leader to stricter typing and more uniform structure. 
- Cloud `SemanticChunker` now matches the chonkie's `SemanticChunker`!
