|
|
This release introduces automated CI/CD pipelines for seamless releases and optimizes dependencies for a lighter, more efficient package.
|
|
|
|
## 🎯 What's New
|
|
|
|
### 🔄 Automated Release Pipeline
|
|
- **GitHub Actions CI/CD**: Automated PyPI and Docker Hub releases on tag push
|
|
- **Multi-platform Docker images**: Support for both AMD64 and ARM64 architectures
|
|
- **Version consistency checks**: Ensures tag, package, and Docker versions align
|
|
- **Automated release notes**: GitHub releases created automatically
|
|
|
|
### 📦 Dependency Optimization
|
|
- **Moved sentence-transformers to optional dependencies**: Significantly reduces default installation size
|
|
- **Lighter Docker images**: Optimized Dockerfile for faster builds and smaller images
|
|
- **Better dependency management**: Core vs. optional dependencies clearly separated
|
|
|
|
## 🏗️ CI/CD Pipeline
|
|
|
|
The new automated release process ensures consistent, reliable releases:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Trigger releases with a simple tag
|
|
git tag v0.7.2
|
|
git push origin v0.7.2
|
|
|
|
# Automatically:
|
|
# ✅ Validates version consistency
|
|
# ✅ Builds and publishes to PyPI
|
|
# ✅ Builds multi-platform Docker images
|
|
# ✅ Pushes to Docker Hub with proper tags
|
|
# ✅ Creates GitHub release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 💾 Lighter Installation
|
|
|
|
Default installation is now significantly smaller:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Core installation (smaller, faster)
|
|
pip install crawl4ai==0.7.2
|
|
|
|
# With ML features (includes sentence-transformers)
|
|
pip install crawl4ai[transformer]==0.7.2
|
|
|
|
# Full installation
|
|
pip install crawl4ai[all]==0.7.2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 🐳 Docker Improvements
|
|
|
|
Enhanced Docker support with multi-platform images:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Pull the latest version
|
|
docker pull unclecode/crawl4ai:0.7.2
|
|
docker pull unclecode/crawl4ai:latest
|
|
|
|
# Available tags:
|
|
# - unclecode/crawl4ai:0.7.2 (specific version)
|
|
# - unclecode/crawl4ai:0.7 (minor version)
|
|
# - unclecode/crawl4ai:0 (major version)
|
|
# - unclecode/crawl4ai:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 🔧 Technical Details
|
|
|
|
### Dependency Changes
|
|
- `sentence-transformers` moved from required to optional dependencies
|
|
- Reduces default installation by ~500MB
|
|
- No impact on functionality when transformer features aren't needed
|
|
|
|
### CI/CD Configuration
|
|
- GitHub Actions workflows for automated releases
|
|
- Version validation before publishing
|
|
- Parallel PyPI and Docker Hub deployments
|
|
- Automatic tagging strategy for Docker images
|
|
|
|
## 🚀 Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
