0.12.6

0.12.6

Enhancements

• Improve ability to capture embedded links in partition_pdf() for fast strategy Previously, a threshold value that affects the capture of embedded links was set to a fixed value by default. This allows users to specify the threshold value for better capturing.
• Refactor add_chunking_strategy decorator to dispatch by name. Add chunk() function to be used by the add_chunking_strategy decorator to dispatch chunking call based on a chunking-strategy name (that can be dynamic at runtime). This decouples chunking dispatch from only those chunkers known at "compile" time and enables runtime registration of custom chunkers.

Features

• Added Unstructured Platform Documentation The Unstructured Platform is currently in beta. The documentation provides how-to guides for setting up workflow automation, job scheduling, and configuring source and destination connectors.

Fixes

• Partitioning raises on file-like object with .name not a local file path. When partitioning a file using the file= argument, and file is a file-like object (e.g. io.BytesIO) having a .name attribute, and the value of file.name is not a valid path to a file present on the local filesystem, FileNotFoundError is raised. This prevents use of the file.name attribute for downstream purposes to, for example, describe the source of a document retrieved from a network location via HTTP.
• Fix SharePoint dates with inconsistent formatting Adds logic to conditionally support dates returned by office365 that may vary in date formatting or may be a datetime rather than a string.
• Include warnings about the potential risk of installing a version of pandoc which does not support RTF files + instructions that will help resolve that issue.
• Incorporate the install-pandoc Makefile recipe into relevant stages of CI workflow, ensuring it is a version that supports RTF input files.
• Fix Google Drive source key Allow passing string for source connector key.
• Fix table structure evaluations calculations Replaced special value -1.0 with np.nan and corrected rows filtering of files metrics basing on that.
• Fix Sharepoint-with-permissions test Ignore permissions metadata, update test.
• Fix table structure evaluations for edge case Fixes the issue when the prediction does not contain any table - no longer errors in such case.

0.12.5

0.12.5

Features

• Header and footer detection for fast strategy partition_pdf with fast strategy now
  detects elements that are in the top or bottom 5 percent of the page as headers and footers.
• Add parent_element to overlapping case output Adds parent_element to the output for identify_overlapping_or_nesting_case and catch_overlapping_and_nested_bboxes functions.
• Add table structure evaluation Adds a new function to evaluate the structure of a table and return a metric that represents the quality of the table structure. This function is used to evaluate the quality of the table structure and the table contents.
• Add AstraDB destination connector Adds support for writing embedded documents into an AstraDB vector database.

Fixes

• Fix passing list type parameters when calling unstructured API via partition_via_api() Update partition_via_api() to convert all list type parameters to JSON formatted strings before calling the unstructured client SDK. This will support image block extraction via partition_via_api().
• Add OctoAI embedder Adds support for embeddings via OctoAI.
• Fix check_connection in opensearch, databricks, postgres, azure connectors
• **Fix don't treat plain text files with double quotes as JSON ** If a file can be deserialized as JSON but it deserializes as a string, treat it as plain text even though it's valid JSON.
• **Fix check_connection in opensearch, databricks, postgres, azure connectors **
• Fix cluster of bugs in partition_xlsx() that dropped content. Algorithm for detecting "subtables" within a worksheet dropped table elements for certain patterns of populated cells such as when a trailing single-cell row appeared in a contiguous block of populated cells.
• Improved documentation. Fixed broken links and improved readability on Key Concepts page.
• **Rename OpenAiEmbeddingConfig to OpenAIEmbeddingConfig.
• Fix partition_json() doesn't chunk. The @add_chunking_strategy decorator was missing from partition_json() such that pre-partitioned documents serialized to JSON did not chunk when a chunking-strategy was specified.

0.12.4

0.12.4

Enhancements

• Apply New Version of black formatting The black library recently introduced a new major version that introduces new formatting conventions. This change brings code in the unstructured repo into compliance with the new conventions.
• Move ingest imports to local scopes Moved ingest dependencies into local scopes to be able to import ingest connector classes without the need of installing imported external dependencies. This allows lightweight use of the classes (not the instances. to use the instances as intended you'll still need the dependencies).
• Add support for .p7s files partition_email can now process .p7s files. The signature for the signed message is extracted and added to metadata.
• Fallback to valid content types for emails If the user selected content type does not exist on the email message, partition_email now falls back to anoter valid content type if it's available.

Features

• Add .heic file partitioning .heic image files were previously unsupported and are now supported though partition_image()
• Add the ability to specify an alternate OCR implementation by implementing an OCRAgent interface and specify it using OCR_AGENT environment variable.
• Add Vectara destination connector Adds support for writing partitioned documents into a Vectara index.

Fixes

• Fix partition_pdf() not working when using chipper model with file
• Handle common incorrect arguments for languages and ocr_languages Users are regularly receiving errors on the API because they are defining ocr_languages or languages with additional quotationmarks, brackets, and similar mistakes. This update handles common incorrect arguments and raises an appropriate warning.
• Default hi_res_model_name now relies on unstructured-inference When no explicit hi_res_model_name is passed into partition or partition_pdf_or_image the default model is picked by unstructured-inference's settings or os env variable UNSTRUCTURED_HI_RES_MODEL_NAME; it now returns the same model name regardless of infer_table_structure's value; this function will be deprecated in the future and the default model name will simply rely on unstructured-inference and will not consider os env in a future release.
• Fix remove Vectara requirements from setup.py - there are no dependencies
• Add missing dependency files to package manifest. Updates the file path for the ingest
  dependencies and adds missing extra dependencies.
• Fix remove Vectara requirements from setup.py - there are no dependencies
• Add title to Vectara upload - was not separated out from initial connector
• Fix change OpenSearch port to fix potential conflict with Elasticsearch in ingest test

0.12.3

Enhancements

• Driver for MongoDB connector. Adds a driver with unstructured version information to the
  MongoDB connector.

Features

• Add Databricks Volumes destination connector Databricks Volumes connector added to ingest CLI. Users may now use unstructured-ingest to write partitioned data to a Databricks Volumes storage service.

Fixes

• Fix support for different Chipper versions and prevent running PDFMiner with Chipper
• Treat YAML files as text. Adds YAML MIME types to the file detection code and treats those
  files as text.
• Fix FSSpec destination connectors check_connection. FSSpec destination connectors did not use check_connection. There was an error when trying to ls destination directory - it may not exist at the moment of connector creation. Now check_connection calls ls on bucket root and this method is called on initialize of destination connector.
• Fix databricks-volumes extra location. setup.py is currently pointing to the wrong location for the databricks-volumes extra requirements. This results in errors when trying to build the wheel for unstructured. This change updates to point to the correct path.
• Fix uploading None values to Chroma and Pinecone. Removes keys with None values with Pinecone and Chroma destinations. Pins Pinecone dependency
• Update documentation. (i) best practice for table extration by using 'skip_infer_table_types' param, instead of 'pdf_infer_table_structure', and (ii) fixed CSS, RST issues and typo in the documentation.
• Fix postgres storage of link_texts. Formatting of link_texts was breaking metadata storage.

0.12.2

Features

Fixes

• Fix index error in table processing. Bumps the unstructured-inference version to address and
  index error that occurs on some tables in the table transformer object.

0.12.1

0.12.1

Enhancements

• Allow setting image block crop padding parameter In certain circumstances, adjusting the image block crop padding can improve image block extraction by preventing extracted image blocks from being clipped.
• Add suport for bitmap images in partition_image Adds support for .bmp files in
  partition, partition_image, and detect_filetype.
• Keep all image elements when using "hi_res" strategy Previously, Image elements with small chunks of text were ignored unless the image block extraction parameters (extract_images_in_pdf or extract_image_block_types) were specified. Now, all image elements are kept regardless of whether the image block extraction parameters are specified.
• Add filetype detection for .wav files. Add filetpye detection for .wav files.
• Add "basic" chunking strategy. Add baseline chunking strategy that includes all shared chunking behaviors without breaking chunks on section or page boundaries.
• Add overlap option for chunking. Add option to overlap chunks. Intra-chunk and inter-chunk overlap are requested separately. Intra-chunk overlap is applied only to the second and later chunks formed by text-splitting an oversized chunk. Inter-chunk overlap may also be specified; this applies overlap between "normal" (not-oversized) chunks.
• Salesforce connector accepts private key path or value. Salesforce parameter private-key-file has been renamed to private-key. Private key can be provided as path to file or file contents.
• Update documentation: (i) added verbiage about the free API cap limit, (ii) added deprecation warning on Staging bricks in favor of Destination Connectors, (iii) added warning and code examples to use the SaaS API Endpoints using CLI-vs-SDKs, (iv) fixed example pages formatting, (v) added deprecation on model_name in favor of hi_res_model_name, (vi) added extract_images_in_pdf usage in partition_pdf section, (vii) reorganize and improve the documentation introduction section, and (viii) added PDF table extraction best practices.
• Add "basic" chunking to ingest CLI. Add options to ingest CLI allowing access to the new "basic" chunking strategy and overlap options.
• Make Elasticsearch Destination connector arguments optional. Elasticsearch Destination connector write settings are made optional and will rely on default values when not specified.
• Normalize Salesforce artifact names. Introduced file naming pattern present in other connectors to Salesforce connector.
• Install Kapa AI chatbot. Added Kapa.ai website widget on the documentation.

Features

• MongoDB Source Connector. New source connector added to all CLI ingest commands to support downloading/partitioning files from MongoDB.
• Add OpenSearch source and destination connectors. OpenSearch, a fork of Elasticsearch, is a popular storage solution for various functionality such as search, or providing intermediary caches within data pipelines. Feature: Added OpenSearch source connector to support downloading/partitioning files. Added OpenSearch destination connector to be able to ingest documents from any supported source, embed them and write the embeddings / documents into OpenSearch.

Fixes

• Fix GCS connector converting JSON to string with single quotes. FSSpec serialization caused conversion of JSON token to string with single quotes. GCS requires token in form of dict so this format is now assured.
• Pin version of unstructured-client Set minimum version of unstructured-client to avoid raising a TypeError when passing api_key_auth to UnstructuredClient
• Fix the serialization of the Pinecone destination connector. Presence of the PineconeIndex object breaks serialization due to TypeError: cannot pickle '_thread.lock' object. This removes that object before serialization.
• Fix the serialization of the Elasticsearch destination connector. Presence of the _client object breaks serialization due to TypeError: cannot pickle '_thread.lock' object. This removes that object before serialization.
• Fix the serialization of the Postgres destination connector. Presence of the _client object breaks serialization due to TypeError: cannot pickle '_thread.lock' object. This removes that object before serialization.
• Fix documentation and sample code for Chroma. Was pointing to wrong examples..
• Fix flatten_dict to be able to flatten tuples inside dicts Update flatten_dict function to support flattening tuples inside dicts. This is necessary for objects like Coordinates, when the object is not written to the disk, therefore not being converted to a list before getting flattened (still being a tuple).
• Fix the serialization of the Chroma destination connector. Presence of the ChromaCollection object breaks serialization due to TypeError: cannot pickle 'module' object. This removes that object before serialization.
• Fix fsspec connectors returning version as integer. Connector data source versions should always be string values, however we were using the integer checksum value for the version for fsspec connectors. This casts that value to a string.

0.12.0

• Drop support for python3.8 All dependencies are now built off of the minimum version of python being 3.10

0.11.8

0.11.8

Enhancements

• Add SaaS API User Guide. This documentation serves as a guide for Unstructured SaaS API users to register, receive an API key and URL, and manage your account and billing information.

0.11.7

Enhancements

• Add intra-chunk overlap capability. Implement overlap for split-chunks where text-splitting is used to divide an oversized chunk into two or more chunks that fit in the chunking window. Note this capability is not yet available from the API but will shortly be made accessible using a new overlap kwarg on partition functions.
• Update encoders to leverage dataclasses All encoders now follow a class approach which get annotated with the dataclass decorator. Similar to the connectors, it uses a nested dataclass for the configs required to configure a client as well as a field/property approach to cache the client. This makes sure any variable associated with the class exists as a dataclass field.

Features

• Add Qdrant destination connector. Adds support for writing documents and embeddings into a Qdrant collection.
• Store base64 encoded image data in metadata fields. Rather than saving to file, stores base64 encoded data of the image bytes and the mimetype for the image in metadata fields: image_base64 and image_mime_type (if that is what the user specifies by some other param like pdf_extract_to_payload). This would allow the API to have parity with the library.

Fixes

• Fix table structure metric script Update the call to table agent to now provide OCR tokens as required
• Fix element extraction not working when using "auto" strategy for pdf and image If element extraction is specified, the "auto" strategy falls back to the "hi_res" strategy.
• Fix a bug passing a custom url to partition_via_api Users that self host the api were not able to pass their custom url to partition_via_api.

0.11.6

0.11.6

Enhancements

• Update the layout analysis script. The previous script only supported annotating final elements. The updated script also supports annotating inferred and extracted elements.
• AWS Marketplace API documentation: Added the user guide, including setting up VPC and CloudFormation, to deploy Unstructured API on AWS platform.
• Azure Marketplace API documentation: Improved the user guide to deploy Azure Marketplace API by adding references to Azure documentation.
• Integration documentation: Updated URLs for the staging_for bricks

Features

• Partition emails with base64-encoded text. Automatically handles and decodes base64 encoded text in emails with content type text/plain and text/html.
• Add Chroma destination connector Chroma database connector added to ingest CLI. Users may now use unstructured-ingest to write partitioned/embedded data to a Chroma vector database.
• Add Elasticsearch destination connector. Problem: After ingesting data from a source, users might want to move their data into a destination. Elasticsearch is a popular storage solution for various functionality such as search, or providing intermediary caches within data pipelines. Feature: Added Elasticsearch destination connector to be able to ingest documents from any supported source, embed them and write the embeddings / documents into Elasticsearch.

Fixes

• Enable --fields argument omission for elasticsearch connector Solves two bugs where removing the optional parameter --fields broke the connector due to an integer processing error and using an elasticsearch config for a destination connector resulted in a serialization issue when optional parameter --fields was not provided.
