v0.5.0

This release is fairly large, but the main differences will go unnoticed except for those who have implemented their own algorithms.

Added

• Generics have been changed and the Field trait was removed. The generics now cover minimal traits required to run each method, along with a From<f32> bound which does the majority of what the Field trait did anyway.
• Most types that were &[F] are now &DVector<F>. The exceptions are in algorithm new functions, which are more ergonomic if slices are used. In the actual implementations, DVectors are much more convenient than all the Vec iterations I was doing previously.
• Added some line search algorithms to make the GradientDescent method more functional. This will also be used in the next update, which will hopefully provide the BFGS algorithm family.

Fixed

• Some fields in the Newton and GradientDescent algorithm initializers were set wrong, making these algorithms function strangely or not at all. This has been fixed.

v0.4.0

Other

• undo changes to previous version, lifetimes make things more difficult to work with for end-users. Removed NelderMeadMessage.

v0.3.1

Added

• change functions to references to avoid cloning any underlying function data

v0.3.0

Added

• switch &Option<args> to Option<&args> and remove messages in favor of extending Minimizer trait
• add Send/Sync to Function

Fixed

• change callback to no longer be optional, this just required typing None::<fn(&_)> everywhere which is way uglier than |_|{}
• make callback optional to avoid toilet bowl closure

Other

• Merge branch 'development' of github.com:denehoffman/ganesh into development
• update crate docs to reflect new changes
• add wordmark
• add logo to readme
• remove num::Float trait dependence
• add logo
• Merge branch 'main' into development

v0.2.0

Fixed

• re-implement args that were lost in merge
• move main traits to core module and modify gradient and hessian methods to work better at larger values

Other

• update docstrings to reflect arguments
• Merge branch 'development' of https://github.com/denehoffman/ganesh into development
• add benchmark
• release
