8 months ago Hi, thank you. I am glad it works for you.
The core idea of the new release is to make possible other kinds of applications. It removes some global context and simplify the explicit usage of the resources and configurations.
The deprecation file https://github.com/sadit/SimilaritySearch.jl/blob/main/src/deprecated.jl only lists some high-level functions that do not use a search context because there are identical functions now accepting the context explicitly.
In previous releases, these contexts were implicit (they use global shared variables) and are now explicitly passed to each function.
With this search context, generating isolated indexes using the same Julia process is more straightforward. They also now control logging, so each index instance can have a different log (e.g., storing in a log file) or use some indexing events (append items) to save index data incrementally.
Distance functions remained untouched, and I have no plans to remove or deprecate them. Maybe some automated tooling shows that they are in deprecation.
Best, Eric

Hi there,
Thank you for the package you have done, it has so much potential!
I noticed that one of the dependencies (LoopVectorization) will possibly be deprecated on Julia 1.11. This will have implications on the TurboDistances you have created.
If it happens (I hope not), solving this without affecting performance would be great!
