v3.8.0 - Collection alias, RQ, Replication Ops, Multi-Vectors

The previous release contained some breaking changes, which had been accidentally introduced during a refactor.
We've deprecated that version on NPM and are releasing v3.8.0 instead, which fixes the broken APIs.

Note, that, in order to accommodate multi-vector search, several types in the API have acquired a generic parameter, which you will need to specify after switching to v3.8.0. Please refer to this announcement for a comprehensive migration guide.

Additionally, this version will deprecate vectorizeCollectionName parameter for all vectorizers. The reason for that is that it allowed silently generating embeddings based solely on the collection name for collections with no vectorizable properties.

Finally, TS client got support for multi2vec-nvidia vectorizer which can be configured via:

import { configure } from 'src/collections/configure/index.js';

configure.vectors.multi2VecNvidia({ 
    baseURL: 'example.com/embed',
    imageFields: ['profile_pic', 'background_img'],
    textFields: ['bio']
});

What's Changed

• Fix breaking changes from v3.7.0 release by @bevzzz in #321

v3.7.0 - [BREAKING] Collection alias, RQ, Replication Ops, Multi-Vectors

‼️ While deprecating some APIs we've accidentally introduced breaking changes.

We are actively working on releasing the next stable version. This version will be deprecated shortly after.
Until then, please prefer using v3.6.2 to avoid build issues.

Massive release, loads of improvements!

v3.7.0 brings support to all Weaviate v1.32 features, so you can:

• Manage collection aliases
• Compress your vectors with Rotational Quantization (RQ)
• Move shards across nodes with Replication Ops
• Use the new multi2multivec-jinaai vectorization module
• Restore users and roles from backups

Thanks to @tsmith023 TS client finally supports multi-vector indices: they can be defined, written, and retrieved in queries.
