This is the very first release of our new Weasel library, a standalone replacement for spaCy Projects.

Weasel lets you manage and share end-to-end workflows for different use cases and domains, and orchestrate training, packaging and serving your custom pipelines. You can start off by cloning a pre-defined project template, adjust it to fit your needs, load in your data, train a pipeline, export it as a Python package, upload your outputs to a remote storage and share your results with your team. Weasel can be used via the weasel command and we provide example templates in our projects repo.

✨ New features and improvements

Just like spacy project, the weasel command-line interface offers:

• End-to-end, reproducible workflow management
• Push and pull from local and distant remotes
• Clone existing workflows to get started rapidly
• Auto-document your workflows for easier sharing

⚠️ Backwards incompatibilities

There are a few backward incompatibilities with spacy project that you should be aware of:

• The SPACY_CONFIG_OVERRIDES environment variable is no longer checked. You can set configuration overrides with WEASEL_CONFIG_OVERRIDES.
• Support for the spacy_version configuration key has been dropped.
• Support for SPACY_PROJECT_USE_GIT_VERSION environment variable has been dropped.
• Error codes are now Weasel-specific, and do not follow spacy project codes.

Weasel will check for the first three incompatibilities, and will issue a warning if you're using it with spaCy-specific configuration options.
