Proactive Validation Enhancements and CI Integration

What's New in Version 0.1.9

• Proactive Validation Enhancements: Enhanced the is_subset function to raise descriptive ValueErrors for each validation failure, improving the clarity and maintainability of error handling.
• Documentation Updates: Updated all documentation to reflect changes in code and added examples on how to handle new validation exceptions.

Continuous Integration Improvements

• Python Package Testing Workflow: Introduced a new GitHub Actions workflow to automate the testing process, ensuring that each push or pull request to the 'main' branch triggers a series of actions that validate the codebase across different environments and Python versions.
  • Setup steps for Python environment and dependencies using Poetry.
  • Code linting with flake8 to enforce coding standards and identify issues early.
  • Automated tests with pytest to verify that new changes do not break existing functionalities.
  • Documentation build using Sphinx to keep the project documentation up to date.

Documentation and README Updates

• Enhanced Documentation: Updated the documentation and README files to better reflect the current functionalities and how to implement the module within other projects.
• Workflow Integration: Detailed the inclusion of a new GitHub Actions workflow that automates testing across multiple Python versions (3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12) to ensure compatibility and reliability.
• Example Code Added: New example codes and usage scenarios have been added to the documentation to assist users in understanding how to use the validation features effectively.

Other Improvements

• Simplified File Path Extraction: Refactored string handling to ensure compatibility with Python versions 3.9 to 3.11, making the codebase more future-proof.

Improvements

• Improved error message clarity in the validation process.

We encourage all users to update to this latest version to benefit from these improvements.
