Corrected the parameter name from `minimum_support` to `min_support` in the GSP algorithm call. This ensures compatibility with the GSP method's expected arguments and prevents potential runtime errors.

Thanks for integrating Codecov - We've got you covered ☂️

Remove unnecessary parentheses in conditional expressions and list comprehensions. Add docstrings to test functions in `test_utils.py` for better documentation. Simplify error handling messages in `cli.py` to reduce redundancy and enhance readability.
Renamed `requirements.txt` to `requirements-dev.txt` and moved development dependencies to an `extras_require` block in `setup.py`. Updated the README with instructions for installing development dependencies and clarified their purpose. This refactoring improves dependency management and developer onboarding.
Enhanced test coverage by adding cases for invalid transaction formats, edge values for `min_support`, and direct `_worker_batch` method validation. These tests ensure proper handling of errors and edge conditions in the GSP algorithm.
Introduced multiple tests to validate CLI functionality, including cases for invalid JSON structure, non-existent files, edge cases for `min_support`, and custom GSP errors. These enhancements improve test coverage and ensure robust error reporting and behavior.
Include pylint version 3.2.6 in the requirements file to ensure consistent linting across environments. This addition supports maintaining code quality in the project.
Added pytest, pytest-benchmark, and pytest-cov to the dependencies for better testing capabilities. These additions support benchmarking, coverage analysis, and improved test functionality.
Updated logging to use standardized formatting, enhanced file handling with explicit encoding, and streamlined temporary file usage in tests. These changes improve code readability, maintainability, and robustness against potential issues like encoding errors or file cleanup failures.
Replaced `raise ValueError(msg)` with `raise ValueError(msg) from e` in `cli.py` to preserve original exception context, improving debug information. Removed unnecessary import statement in related test file for cleaner test code.
This commit introduces a FUNDING.yml file to enable contributors to support the project financially. Funding platforms include GitHub Sponsors and Buy Me a Coffee.
Simplified and restructured content for better readability and usability. Updated badges, added concise feature descriptions, and improved example code formatting. Introduced a detailed table of contents and clarified usage instructions.
This workflow automates uploading Python packages to PyPI when a release is created. It builds the package and uses an authenticated action to publish it securely.
This commit introduces GitHub Sponsors and DOI badges to the README for improved visibility of funding and citation options. It also reorders the existing badges for better organization and clarity.
Replaced the GitHub Sponsors badge with a more visually appealing version and adjusted the DOI badge's position for consistency. These changes enhance the overall readability and presentation of the README file.
Introduced a CHANGELOG file to provide clear version histories and updates. Includes details about the new CLI, parallel processing, enhanced logging, and expanded documentation in v2.0, along with highlights from the initial v1.1 release. Also summarizes key improvements and additions between versions.
