New Python library 'chatcram' simplifies LLM chat history management

It works by summarizing older parts of the conversation while keeping recent turns verbatim, allowing users to provide their own summarization function to maintain flexibility and avoid framework lock-in. This tool aims to be a lightweight, dependency-free building block for developers, differentiating itself from larger frameworks like LangChain by offering a more focused solution for context window management.
