previously, the project relied on a python 3.11 minimum version. this conflicted with the requirements of destiny_sdk. now, the project's minimum python version has been bumped to 3.12
previously, we created a paper helper for OpenAlex inspired by the existing one for OpenReview now, we have a basic paper helper that searches the DESTINY repo to answer a user's question
previously, we set the paper_directory Settings field to "./literature" within the .json config now, that no longer is the case
previously, we only had a DESTINY paper helper that could download the first page of references that resulted from an LLM generated search query now, we have a dedicated DESTINY paper search tool an agent can use to source information for its other steps
previously, to use the new DESTINY search tool, we had to explicitly list the agent's available tools now, we have a config that unifies our azure and agent tool configs in a single json that can more easily instantiate Settings objects
previously, we used settings.paper_directory to decide where pdfs of destiny references should be downloaded now, since settings.paper_directory is deprecated, we use the more appropriate settings.agent.index.paper_directory instead
previously, we only detailed how to use the DESTINY paper helper now, we briefly describe how to use the agent with the new DESTINY search tool
previously, running the paperqa agent could only be done via the terminal or a notebook now, we have a basic web UI built with Chainlit that allows for a QA session to run in a temporary dictionary (no persistence yet)
previously, our basic UI only showed the agent's final response now, with improved tool responses and bug fixes as well as callbacks to display intermediary tool calls as Chainlit Steps, the UI can display the steps the agent is taking to the user.
previously, running the UI and using the search agent required clone the repository and running chainlit manually now, the core UI has been containerised for ease of sharing and testing
