Release Notes: v0.9 - Arxiv Paper Insights & DeepSeek Model Integration

Release Date: August 23, 2025

We are excited to announce the release of v0.9! This update introduces a brand-new Arxiv Daily Paper Report feature, helping you effortlessly keep up with the latest advancements in the AI field. Additionally, we have integrated the powerful DeepSeek model as the default LLM and have made significant improvements to the project's stability and code quality.

✨ New Features
Arxiv Daily Paper Reports: The system can now automatically fetch the latest papers from the Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI) category on arXiv each day, generate a summary report using an LLM, and deliver it via email. This allows you to stay on top of cutting-edge tech trends with zero effort.

DeepSeek Model Integration: Support for the DeepSeek Large Language Model has been added and set as the new default provider. This brings higher-quality and more insightful content generation capabilities.

🚀 Enhancements & Quality Improvements
Comprehensive Test Coverage: Extensive unit tests have been added to the project. Core components like the new ArxivClient, Config module, and the refactored LLM module now have dedicated test suites, dramatically improving code reliability and future maintainability.

Dependency Updates: Project dependencies have been updated, and the arxiv and bs4 libraries were added to support new features.

⚠️ Important Notes & Changes
Configuration Requirement: To use the new default DeepSeek model, you MUST set the DEEPSEEK_API_KEY environment variable. The application will fail to start if this variable is not set.

Default Model Changed: The default LLM has been changed from ollama to deepseek. If you wish to continue using ollama, please manually change the model_type field back to "ollama" in your config.json file.
