Release Notes - LangChain v1 Migration

Breaking Changes

Python 3.10+ now required - LangChain v1 drops Python 3.9 support. Please upgrade to Python 3.10 or higher (Python 3.12 recommended).

Updates

LangChain v1 Compatibility

Upgraded to LangChain v1.0+ with updated import paths across the codebase:

• langchain.prompts → langchain_core.prompts
• langchain.text_splitter → langchain_text_splitters
• langchain.retrievers → langchain_classic.retrievers

Package Versions

• langchain>=1.0.0
• langchain-core>=1.0.0
• langchain-community>=0.4.0

Simplified Dependencies

Reduced requirements.txt from 134 to 63 lines by removing transitive dependencies - now only lists packages directly used by the project.
