v0.36.0 🐍

⚠️ Breaking changes

• Fix Document model: bad test, attribute bug, and field cleanup (#1113) @nnethercott

  🛠 migration path

  What changed?

  • The internal __doc field in Document has been removed to avoid data duplication.
  • Document.__getattr__ now correctly returns attribute values rather than the attribute name itself.

  Impact

  • Code relying on internal access to document._Document__doc (e.g. through iterators) will break.
  • Behavior of doc.getattr("field") is now consistent and correct.

  What you need to do:

  • If you were manually accessing document._Document__doc, switch to using direct attribute access or casting with dict(doc).

  example updated usage

  doc = index.get_document("foo")
  doc_dict = dict(doc) 
  doc_dict.pop("_Document__doc")  # ❌ Not needed anymore

🚀 Enhancements

• Add composite embedders and pooling for Hugging Face models (#1104) @nnethercott
