Tala 31.1.2 — Package cleanup and refreshed documentation

Documentation

• Introduce Tala as the Python library and developer toolkit for the TDM dialogue platform.
• Explain its capabilities, installation, and dialogue-service prerequisites.
• Move the detailed language-model example into a dedicated Requestor guide.
• Update the PyPI summary and canonical GitHub repository link.

Packaging

• Restrict the wheel to Tala runtime packages, excluding test packages, dialogue-domain examples, and scripts.
• Explicitly include required runtime schemas and templates, plus the xs3p stylesheet and its license.
• Remove the obsolete interaction-test extractor.

Maintenance

• Remove legacy Docker/Jenkins files, the Gerrit commit hook, and a tracked editor backup.
• Add CI checks for wheel contents, source-distribution tests, and installed-wheel runtime assets.

No changes to dialogue behavior or runtime dependencies.

Tala 31.1.1 — Ordström GitHub release workflow

This maintenance release completes the move of Tala’s source hosting
and publishing workflow to Ordström.

• Canonical repository: https://github.com/ordstrom-ai/tala
• Required GitHub Actions checks build, test and lint changes before merging.
• PyPI publishing uses Trusted Publishing instead of a stored API token.
• Publication verifies that the release commit passed the required main tests
  and that the wheel and source distribution match the release version.

No application-code or dependency changes are included. The PyPI package
name remains tala, and its existing branding and project metadata are unchanged.

31.1.0 — Structured GPT output support

Added

• Support for forwarding JSON Schema response formats through GPTRequest
  to Requestor.
• A completion_status property exposing completion outcomes, including
  completed, truncated, and refused responses.
• Documentation and an example for the structured-output API.

Fixed

• Malformed structured JSON now raises GPTStructuredOutputError instead
  of silently returning a default response or attempting generic JSON repair.
• Response formats are included in request cache identity.
• Restored the missing 31.0.2 changelog entry.

Maintenance

• Updated development dependency pins for build, pytest, flake8, and pylint.
• Aligned repository guidance with the shared guarded Gerrit workflow.

Tala 31.0.2

Fixed

• Fixed XML compilation of proposition-specific forget and
  forget_shared plan items when their proposition child is surrounded
  by whitespace or comments. Normally indented XML now compiles correctly;
  compact formatting is no longer required.

Documentation

• Corrected the changelog’s release grouping and added missing entries
  for earlier releases.

Tala 31.0.1 — DDD JSON schema fixes

Release notes
This patch release fixes the packaged DDD JSON schemas and adds validation tests to prevent schema regressions.
Fixed

• Removed leftover merge-conflict markers from the domain schema, preserving knowledge-precondition question (KPQ) support.
• Added schema definitions for in_* conditions, boolean operators, and supported condition proposition payloads.
• Fixed validation of predicate-only forget targets and goal-proposition targets.
• Corrected bundle schema references so human-readable DDD bundles validate with or without the ddd wrapper.
  Testing
• Added offline validation of all four JSON schemas, the mockup_travel fixtures, and DDD bundles.
• Added regression coverage for KPQ questions, conditions, and forget targets.

Tala 31.0.0 — JSON:API and DDD refactoring

Breaking changes

• Expand JSON:API serialization and deserialization for dialogue model
  objects, including moves, plans, propositions, and iterator state.
• Replace legacy DDD condition names with explicit in_* conditions and
  support nested boolean conditions.
• Remove implicit service-action downdating. DDDs must specify explicit
  downdate conditions where needed.
• Remove the deprecated multi-command tala CLI. Use tala-interact.

Improvements

• Replace regex-based semantic parsing with recursive-descent parsing,
  improving support for nested expressions and error reporting.
• Add multi-antecedent domain queries and structured query/iterator models.
• Harden domain orchestration validation and preserve AUTO TIS log format.
• Improve SSE connection timeouts, setup-failure handling, and thread teardown.
• Update the default GPT-4o deployment to gpt-4o-2024-11-20.
• Make MQTT tests independent of a live broker and improve test reliability.

Migration

Update DDD conditions and service-action downdate definitions to the new
explicit model. Use the corresponding TDM migration when adopting the
expanded JSON:API model support.

tala 30.0.1

• Fix: preserve service_action when parsing legacy SERVICE_RESULT propositions from TIS JSON (fallback to _service_action, _arguments, _ontology_name).
• Fix: parse legacy invoke_service_action payload variants (action, action_name, dict-shaped names) without losing action name.
• Tests: add parser unit tests for legacy service action fields and service result deserialization.

Tala 30.0.0 — Move Refactors, DDD Loading Improvements, and Cleanup

• Refactored move modules and ICM handling to simplify move creation and parsing.
• Updated DDD loading to support JSON bundles and named files reliably.
• Switched model accessors to properties for consistency across the codebase.
• Added allow_binding_yn_answers and KPQ support to DDD JSON/XML flows.
• Removed deprecated semantic logic from the SDK and cleaned legacy APIs.
• Improved tests around DDD loading, JSON parity, and interaction flows.

29.11.3

Restore legacy DDD JSON

Release 29.11.2

Release notes (since 29.11.1)

• Hardened JSON:API parsing and tolerance for optional/omitted fields.
• Normalized JSON:API includes and moved versioning to meta with safer handling.
• Prevented JSON:API ID collisions and improved invalid link failures.
• Added JSON:API DDD snapshot coverage and removed legacy DDD JSON support.
• Added domain query modeling updates.
• Fixed bind YN question JSON round‑tripping to preserve boolean values.
