```bash
cargo add optimizr
```
### PyPI (Python)
```bash
pip install optimizr
```

## 🔧 Breaking Changes from v0.3.0
### Cargo Feature Flags
```toml
# OLD (v0.3.0):
[features]
default = ["python-bindings"] # Always included
# NEW (v1.0.0):
[features]
default = [] # No default features
python-bindings = ["pyo3", "numpy"] # Opt-in
```
**Impact:**
- Rust-only users: No breaking changes (python-bindings not needed)
- Python users: No impact (maturin automatically enables python-bindings)
If you're using OptimizR as a Rust library and explicitly depend on Python bindings:
```toml
# Update your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
optimizr = { version = "1.0", features = ["python-bindings"] }
```
## 📝 Migration Guide
### From v0.3.0 to v1.0.0
**For Rust Users:**
No code changes required. If you were using python-bindings explicitly, add it to features list.
**For Python Users:**
```bash
# Upgrade via pip
pip install --upgrade optimizr
# Or specify version
pip install optimizr==1.0.0
```
**API Compatibility:**
✅ All Python APIs remain unchanged
✅ All Rust APIs remain unchanged
✅ Function signatures are identical
✅ Return types are identical
✅ No deprecations or removals
## 🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed linking errors when using OptimizR as Rust-only library
- Fixed PyInit__core symbol warning in maturin builds
- Resolved flate2 yanked dependency warning
