Full Changelog: v0.2.1...v0.2.2

layoutc v0.2.1

layoutc v0.2.1

This is a documentation cleanup release that fixes inaccuracies in the documentation.

🐛 Documentation Fixes

• Removed non-existent API references: Cleaned up documentation that incorrectly referenced a validate=False parameter that doesn't exist in the actual API
• Simplified validation explanations: Streamlined coordinate validation error messages in the README for clarity
• Entity documentation cleanup: Updated entity documentation to accurately reflect the actual API without mentioning unsupported parameters

📋 Installation

pip install layoutc

🎯 Usage

Command Line

# Auto-detection based on file extension
layoutc input.json output.png
layoutc arena.json atlas.png

Python API

from layoutc.codec import Codec
from layoutc.entity import Entity

# Create codec and work with entities
codec = Codec()
# Load and save using codec methods
with open('input.json', 'rb') as f:
    codec.load(f)
with open('output.png', 'wb') as f:
    codec.dump(f)

This release ensures the documentation accurately reflects the actual API functionality.
