v0.1.0b8

Added

• Batch API: client.batch namespace for deferred-execution batch operations that pack multiple Dataverse Web API calls into a single POST $batch HTTP request (#129)
• Batch DataFrame integration: client.batch.dataframe namespace with pandas DataFrame wrappers for batch operations (#129)
• client.records.upsert() and client.batch.records.upsert() backed by the UpsertMultiple bound action with alternate-key support (#129)
• QueryBuilder: client.query.builder("table") with a fluent API, 20+ chainable methods (select, filter_eq, filter_contains, order_by, expand, etc.), and composable filter expressions using Python operators (&, |, ~) (#118)
• Memo/multiline column type support: "memo" (or "multiline") can now be passed as a column type in client.tables.create() and client.tables.add_columns() (#155)

Changed

• Picklist label-to-integer resolution now uses a single bulk PicklistAttributeMetadata API call for the entire table instead of per-attribute requests, with a 1-hour TTL cache (#154)

Fixed

• client.query.sql() silently truncated results at 5,000 rows. The method now follows @odata.nextLink pagination and returns all matching rows (#157)
• Alternate key fields were incorrectly merged into the UpsertMultiple request body, causing 400 Bad Request on the create path (#129)
• Docstring type annotations corrected for Microsoft Learn API reference compatibility (#153)
