🤖 Expanded Metadata Inferencing 🤖

describegpt headlines this release, with its new ability to support other local Large Language Models (LLMs) using popular tools that serve them through APIs such as Ollama and Jan. This broadens the tool's utility in diverse AI environments. Beyond OpenAI, qsv can now use other popular LLMs like Llama 3, Mistral, and Gemma. It also unlocks expanded metadata inferencing capabilities in qsv pro.

Several commands got additional options: cat with --no-headers support in the rowskey subcommand; excel with new options like --error-format and short --metadata mode; and foreach with a --dry-run option. frequency also got new options, including --unq-limit for limiting unique counts, support for negative limits, and a --lmt-threshold option for compiling comprehensive frequencies below a threshold. slice now supports negative indices and new JSON output options, providing more flexibility in data slicing.

This is all rounded out with sqlp improvements, including support for single-line comments in SQL scripts and a special SKIP_INPUT value to skip input preprocessing when using table functions directly in Polars SQL (e.g. read_csv() and read_parquet()) - all while increasing performance thanks to the Polars engine being upgraded to 0.39.2.


New Features

  • cat: Added --no-headers support to the rowskey subcommand.
  • describegpt: Added compatibility for other local Large Language Models (LLMs) such as Ollama and Jan, broadening the tool's utility in diverse AI environments.
  • excel: Introduced new options in the excel command: --error-format for better error handling and a short --metadata JSON mode.
  • foreach: added a --dry-run option, allowing users to preview the results of scripts without executing them.
  • frequency: New options added such as --unq-limit for limiting unique counts; support for negative limits to only show frequencies >= abs(negative limit); and a --lmt-threshold option to allow the compilation of comprehensive frequencies below the threshold - all providing more detailed control over frequency analysis.
  • slice: Support for negative indices to slice from the end and new JSON output options.
  • sqlp: sqlp now supports single-line comments and includes a special SKIP_INPUT value for more efficient data loading. The Polars engine has also been upgraded to 0.39.2, providing enhanced performance and stability.

Changes and Optimizations

  • Performance Enhancements: Microoptimizations in datefmt and validate commands, and increased default length for --infer-len in sqlp for improved performance.
  • Dependency Updates: Numerous updates including bumping Luau, jql-runner, pyo3, and other dependencies to enhance stability and security.
  • Benchmarks Added: New performance benchmarks for sqlp vs duckdb added to ensure there are no performance regressions between releases. Right now, sqlp is faster than duckdb in most cases (thanks to Polars - see the latest TPC-H benchmarks), but we want to make sure that we keep it that way.

Security and Robustness

  • Security Fixes: Updated rustls to fix a specific CVE, and other minor fixes to enhance the security and robustness of network and data processing features.
  • Bug Fixes: Various bug fixes including improvements in error formatting in excel and robustness in fetch and fetchpost commands.
