Will Jones 5349e8b1db ci: make preview releases (#1302)
This PR changes the release process. Some parts are more complex, and
other parts I've simplified.

## Simplifications

* Combined `Create Release Commit` and `Create Python Release Commit`
into a single workflow. By default, it does a release of all packages,
but you can still choose to make just a Python or just Node/Rust release
through the arguments. This will make it rarer that we create a Node
release but forget about Python or vice-versa.
* Releases are automatically generated once a tag is pushed. This
eliminates the manual step of creating the release.
* Release notes are automatically generated and changes are categorized
based on the PR labels.
* Removed the use of `LANCEDB_RELEASE_TOKEN` in favor of just using
`GITHUB_TOKEN` where it wasn't necessary. In the one place it is
necessary, I left a comment as to why it is.
* Reused the version in `python/Cargo.toml` so we don't have two
different versions in Python LanceDB.

## New changes

* We now can create `preview` / `beta` releases. By default `Create
Release Commit` will create a preview release, but you can select a
"stable" release type and it will create a full stable release.
  * For Python, pre-releases go to fury.io instead of PyPI
* `bump2version` was deprecated, so upgraded to `bump-my-version`. This
also seems to better support semantic versioning with pre-releases.
* `ci` changes will now be shown in the changelog, allowing changes like
this to be visible to users. `chore` is still hidden.

## Versioning

**NOTE**: unlike how it is in lance repo right now, the version in main
is the last one released, including beta versions.

LanceDB JavaScript SDK

A JavaScript library for LanceDB.

Installation

npm install @lancedb/lancedb

This will download the appropriate native library for your platform. We currently support:

  • Linux (x86_64 and aarch64)
  • MacOS (Intel and ARM/M1/M2)
  • Windows (x86_64 only)

We do not yet support musl-based Linux (such as Alpine Linux) or aarch64 Windows.

Usage

Basic Example

import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
const db = await lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb");
const table = await db.createTable("my_table", [
  { id: 1, vector: [0.1, 1.0], item: "foo", price: 10.0 },
  { id: 2, vector: [3.9, 0.5], item: "bar", price: 20.0 },
]);
const results = await table.vectorSearch([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).toArray();
console.log(results);

The quickstart contains a more complete example.

Development

npm run build
npm run test

Running lint / format

LanceDb uses biome for linting and formatting. if you are using VSCode you will need to install the official Biome extension. To manually lint your code you can run:

npm run lint

to automatically fix all fixable issues:

npm run lint-fix

If you do not have your workspace root set to the nodejs directory, unfortunately the extension will not work. You can still run the linting and formatting commands manually.

Generating docs

npm run docs

cd ../docs
# Asssume the virtual environment was created
# python3 -m venv venv
# pip install -r requirements.txt
. ./venv/bin/activate
mkdocs build
