The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

0.5.0

Added

  • Union type support via anyOf - Schema.build_output/1 and Schema.build_function/3 now support union types through the anyOf specification. This allows defining properties that can be one of multiple types:
    • {:anyOf, [:string, :number]} - tuple syntax for simple unions
    • [:anyOf, [:string, :number]] - list syntax for simple unions
    • Complex unions with objects and nested structures are fully supported
  • LLM usage guide - Added comprehensive usage-rules.md documentation with detailed examples and best practices for using the OpenAI.Responses library with LLM agents
  • Manual function calling with call_functions/2 - Added public function to execute function calls from a response and format results for the API. This enables custom workflows where users need to intercept, modify, or add context to function results before continuing the conversation. Function return values are passed through without string conversion, so they must be JSON-encodable (maps, lists, strings, numbers, booleans, nil)
  • Error module with retry support - Added OpenAI.Responses.Error exception module that:
    • Represents OpenAI API errors with fields for message, code, param, type, and HTTP status
    • Provides retryable?/1 function to determine if errors can be retried
    • Supports both HTTP status codes (429, 500, 503) and Req transport errors (timeout, closed)

Fixed

  • Model preservation in follow-up responses - create/2 now correctly preserves the model from the previous response when creating follow-ups, instead of defaulting to the standard model. The model can still be explicitly overridden when needed

Changed

  • Package metadata - Updated mix.exs to include additional files in the hex package distribution

0.4.2

Added

  • List format support for Schema definitions - Schema.build_output/1 and Schema.build_function/3 now accept list syntax [type, options] in addition to tuple syntax {type, options}. This provides more flexibility when defining schemas:
    • [:string, %{description: "Full name"}] - list with map options
    • [:string, [description: "Full name"]] - list with keyword list options
    • [:array, :string] - list format for arrays
    • All formats can be mixed within the same schema definition
  • Pricing for o3 pro model

Changed

  • Cost calculation for unknown models - When pricing data is not available for a model, Response.calculate_cost/1 now returns zero costs for all categories instead of nil. This provides a consistent cost structure regardless of whether the model has pricing information.
  • Schema internals refactored - The schema building logic now uses a two-phase approach (normalize then build) making it more maintainable and extensible. This is an internal change that doesn't affect the public API.
  • Pricing for o3 model updated to reflect 80% price decrease

0.4.1

Added

  • Support for string tuple syntax in Schema arrays - Schema.build_property/1 now accepts {"array", item_type} in addition to {:array, item_type} for defining array types in schemas
  • Support for string keys in Schema definitions - Schema.build_output/1 and Schema.build_function/3 now accept lists with string keys in addition to keyword lists with atom keys. This enables schemas to be stored in databases or other persistence layers where atoms are converted to strings, and then reused without conversion back to atoms

0.4.0

Major refactoring to make the codebase more modular and maintainable, and simplify the API.

Breaking Changes

  • Removed :client option from create/1
  • Removed Responses.Helpers module - cost is now calculated automatically for models with known pricing
  • Removed image helpers for now until a better API can be designed
  • Removed delete/2, get/2, and list_input_items/2 - use the low-level request/1 function instead
  • Removed parse/2 - use create/1 with a :schema option instead
  • Removed collect_stream/1
  • Changed schema syntax - replaced Schema.object/2, Schema.string/1 etc. with simple maps

Added

  • create/2 can be used to follow up on a previous response
  • create!/1 and create!/2 raise an error if the response is not successful
  • run/2 and run!/2 functions for automatic function calling loops
    • Takes a list of available functions and automatically handles function calls
    • Continues conversation until a final response without function calls is received
    • Returns a list of all responses generated during the conversation
    • Supports both map and keyword list function definitions
  • list_models/0 and list_models/1 to return the list of available OpenAI models
  • :schema option to create/1 to specify the schema of the response body
  • Schema.build_output/1 to build the output schema for the response body
  • Schema.build_function/3 to build the function schema for tool calling
  • :stream callback function option to create/1 that will be called on every event
  • json_events/1 helper to Responses.Stream for streaming JSON events with Jaxon

Changed

  • create/1 now returns a Response struct containing the generated response body, text, parsed JSON, and cost information
  • text_deltas/1 is moved to Responses.Stream

0.3.0

Breaking Changes

  • Removed positional parameters from create, stream, and parse functions. Use keyword lists or maps for parameters instead.

Instead of OpenAIResponses.create("model", "prompt"), use OpenAIResponses.create(model: "model", prompt: "prompt").

  • Changed parse response format. The structure of parse return has changed: instead of the parsed response, it now returns a map with the following keys:

    • parsed: the parsed result
    • raw_response: the raw response received from OpenAI, which can be used to e.g. calculate the cost
    • token_usage: information about the token usage
  • Removed Config module. Configuration handling has been streamlined. (Commit: 88b812e)

  • Removed parse_stream function. This function was not working as intended, and is removed in this release. (Commit: 9723ccb)

  • Removed explicit instructions message in parse. This should now be handled by the developer. (Commit: f8addc0)

Added

  • Cost calculations for various models including 4.1 models and chatgpt-4o-latest. (Commits: 2985d94, 70d68ad, 4f2cdc3)
  • Option to log requests for debugging or monitoring purposes. (Commit: d4d56b5)

Changed

  • Increased default timeout to 60 seconds from a previous value. (Commit: 4a01b66)

Fixed

  • Fixed tests across multiple commits to ensure functionality and improve coverage. (Commits: c78858c, 18c535a, 804522e, c594688, d637a73)

Documentation

  • Updated documentation to reflect new features, response usage, and tutorial content. (Commits: d1bc204, f07d990, 03031e6, a4ac509)
