PlanAI v0.1.5 introduces significant updates to enhance prompt optimization capabilities, along with key new features, enhancements, and bug fixes to improve the overall functionality and reliability of the system.

New Features

- **Automated Prompt Optimization**: The release features an automatic prompt optimization tool designed to enhance the effectiveness of prompts for LLMTaskWorkers. This tool leverages real production data to iteratively refine prompts, supported by a refined scoring mechanism and automated iteration process (f4338f7, 4116210).

- **Worker Statistics Tracking**: A new `WorkerStat` class has been added to provide improved tracking and analysis of worker statistics, facilitating better monitoring of task execution metrics (c8ef37f).

- **LLM Provider Options**: Added options for specifying LLM providers and models during prompt optimization, enabling more flexible use of different language models (7b6b8b0).

Enhancements

- **Testing and Code Refactoring**: Expanded unit test coverage for the `Graph` class and other system components to ensure robustness and reliability. Code refactoring efforts focused on simplifying task management, provenance tracking, and prompt storage, contributing to increased maintainability of the codebase (d6d4648, 16760b5).

- **Terminal Dashboard**: Introduced a terminal dashboard to visually display task progress and worker statistics, enhancing user engagement and interaction during task execution (3bfaef7).

Bug Fixes

- **Notification Handling**: Addressed various bugs associated with graph notifiers to ensure notifications are accurately delivered to the intended workers and improve provenance management in `JoinedTaskWorker` (571c561, 03cbf72).

- **JSON Parsing Enhancement**: Improved JSON parsing by incorporating markdown handling in `MinimalPydanticOutputParser`, enabling cleaner and more accurate parsing (4528a38).

We are excited to announce the release of PlanAI v0.1.4, which introduces new features, performance improvements, and essential bug fixes to enhance the overall functionality and efficiency of PlanAI.

New Features

- **Parallel Execution Control**: Added functionality to limit the number of parallel executions of specific `TaskWorkers` to better manage resource allocation and improve system performance (e9f5c75).
- **Support for Anthropic API**: Integrated support for Anthropic's API, enabling a broader range of language models to be used within the platform (c738edb, 936fe08).
- **Enhanced Debugging Capabilities**: Introduced the ability for the `llm_from_config` to support a host parameter for Ollama and added options to save debug output in JSON format for improved diagnostic capabilities (87b1961).

Enhancements

- **Dashboard Improvements**: Enhanced the dashboard to include execution statistics, providing users with deeper insights into application performance and behavior (679d9ad).
- **System Prompt Flexibility**: Updated the `LLMTaskWorker` to use the `system_prompt` field, allowing for easier customization and flexibility in task configurations (d27a846).
- **Streamlined Task Handling**: Improved task list display logic, ensuring task lists retain their state even when elements are updated, resulting in a more stable and user-friendly interface (4daa2fe).

Maintenance

- **Documentation Enhancements**: Improved documentation for the example app by adding docstrings and more comprehensive comments, increasing clarity for developers (7cbaec9).

This release significantly enhances the flexibility, performance, and security of PlanAI.

We are pleased to announce the release of PlanAI v0.1.3, which includes important improvements and crucial bug fixes, focusing significantly on provenance handling and traceability enhancements in the dashboard.

New Features
- **Dashboard Trace Improvements**: Improved the expand/collapse functionality for trace prefixes in the dashboard by adding interactive elements and stylized displays, enhancing usability and clarity (267186b).
- **Tracing Mechanism**: Introduced a tracing mechanism in the dashboard to improve the visibility and management of provenance, enhancing overall traceability (f85a189).

Enhancements
- **Cache Enhancements**: Updated the system to store `input_task` with cache data while ensuring cache updates occur even on cache hits (f8dca3e).
- **CSS and Styling Updates**: Refactored dashboard style by separating CSS into distinct files, enabling easier maintenance and future enhancements (2910cbd4d, 6add5e0).
- **Expanded Configuration Options**: Added `enable_trace` option for JoinedTaskWorker to allow more precise control over task traceability (c97f1da).

Bug Fixes
- **Task Provenance Copy Fix**: Enhanced `Task.copy_input_provenance` to return model copies rather than references, mitigating corruption risks inherent in reference passing (2eb2f8d).
- **Provenance Corruption Fix**: Addressed a major issue where provenance data could become corrupted due to Python's reference handling by ensuring copies are used where necessary (e3bd7bf).
- **Notification Tasks Fix**: Resolved an issue with notification tasks improperly removing provenance, which led to premature invocation of joiners (f85a189).
- **Testing Improvements**: Ensured test reliability by copying test result arrays to avoid unexpected deletions when contexts exit (a339573).

Maintenance
- **Code Quality Improvements**: Installed pre-commit hooks for Flake8 and Black to enforce code style and quality (9d9ef9c).

This release notably improves the reliability of provenance management and enhances user interaction with traceable data paths in the dashboard, along with making significant strides towards a more stable caching system.
