[v1.2.9] - 2025-08-05

Docs

• Average document length now uses tokens instead of characters
• Added vizualization for checking document length in sub datasets
• Changes to */descriptive_stats.json:
  • The object no longer includes revision.
  • Now include character-level metrics along with minimum and maximum length. Removed average document length as it is computable from existing metrics.
• Removed per-dataset histograms from the main readme. The goal is to avoid loading the entire dataset when updating the readme. This should make it easier for contributors.
• Simplifying PR workflow in contributing.md

CI

• Fixes bug causing make update-descriptive-stats to fail when not having a linear commit history. The script now skips a dataset update based on revision, but only if the descriptive_stats.json file does not exist. To ensure that the main readme is always up to date, we change the make command always to update it.
