Glazing v0.1.1

This patch release fixes a critical usability issue with CLI search commands and includes documentation improvements.

🐛 What's Fixed

CLI Commands Now Work As Documented

The search commands now work without requiring the --data-dir argument, matching the examples in our documentation.

Before v0.1.1:

$ glazing search query "abandon"
Error: Missing option '--data-dir'.

After v0.1.1:

$ glazing search query "abandon"
                          Search Results for 'abandon'

└──────────┴──────────┴────────────┴───────────────────────────────────┴───────┘

Affected Commands

All search commands now automatically use the default data directory (~/.local/share/glazing/converted/):

• glazing search query - Search across datasets
• glazing search entity - Get entity details
• glazing search role - Search for semantic roles
• glazing search cross-ref - Find cross-references

📝 Documentation Improvements

This release incorporates the documentation improvements that were merged after v0.1.0:

• More concise and natural language throughout documentation
• Removed unnecessary promotional language
• Improved docstring clarity
• 50% reduction in documentation size while maintaining all essential information

📦 Updating

To get the latest version:

pip install --upgrade glazing

Requirements remain unchanged:

• Python 3.13 or higher
• ~5MB for the package
• ~54MB for raw downloaded datasets
• ~130MB total disk space after conversion

🔧 Technical Notes

• Search commands now use get_default_data_path() from the glazing.initialize module
• Default path respects XDG Base Directory specification ($XDG_DATA_HOME if set)
• Commands with explicit --data-dir arguments continue to work as before
• No breaking changes - fully backward compatible
