v0.2.0

With this release, a minor version increment recognizes the overall progress made on Truss since its initial release in Summer 2022. And simplified naming for key functions improves Truss' developer experience, while carefully considered warnings and a long deprecation period ensure nothing breaks.

Interface changes

• In the Python client, truss.create() replaces truss.mk_truss().
• In the Python client, truss.load() replaces truss.from_directory().
• In the Truss handle, truss.predict() offers a shorter alternative to truss.server_predict(). To use in place of truss.docker_predict(), pass the optional kwarg use_docker=True.
• In the command-line interface, the behavior of truss predict has been updated to match the Python client.
  • Previously, truss predict ran on Docker by default, which could be overriden with RUN_LOCAL=true.
  • Now, truss predict runs without Docker by default, which can be overriden with USE_DOCKER=true.

These interface changes are intended to improve Truss' developer experience, not cause unnecessary trouble. As such, the old mk_truss() and from_directory() functions, while marked with a deprecation warning, will not be removed until the next major version update. And both server_predict() and docker_predict() will be supported in the Truss handle indefinitely.
