v0.2.0

🚀 Release v0.2.0: Deep Access Functions

✨ What's New

This release introduces two powerful new functions for working with nested dictionaries:

🔍 get_deep() - Smart Value Retrieval

• Exact matching: get_deep(data, "user.profile.name")
• Suffix matching: get_deep(data, "name") finds any key ending with .name
• Case-insensitive option: case_sensitive=False parameter
• Default values: Built-in fallback support

✏️ set_deep() - Immutable Value Setting

• Dot notation: set_deep(data, "user.profile.name", "Alice")
• Auto-nesting: Creates intermediate dictionaries as needed
• Immutable: Returns new dict without modifying original
• JSON-safe: Maintains serializable data structures [[memory:3975571]]

📦 Package Improvements

• 🏷️ Version management: Added VERSION file and dynamic version loading
• 🔗 Better discoverability: Added repository and PyPI links to README and pyproject.toml
• 📚 Enhanced docs: Updated usage examples and API reference
• ✅ Comprehensive tests: Full test coverage including edge cases

📋 Files Changed

• dictpress/__init__.py - Core functionality additions
• README.md - Updated documentation and examples
• pyproject.toml - Version bump and project URLs
• tests/test_readme_usages.py - Extensive test coverage
• dictpress/VERSION - Version file for dynamic loading

🎯 Migration

Fully backward compatible! Existing code continues to work unchanged. New functions are available immediately:

from dictpress import get_deep, set_deep  # New functions
from dictpress import flatten_dict, unflatten_dict, merge  # Existing functions
