- Replace all OptimizR references with Optimiz-rs in README
- Fix logo URL to use GitHub raw link (displays on PyPI)
- Bump version to 1.0.1 for metadata update
- Published to PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/optimiz-rs/1.0.1/
Changes:
- README.md: 7 instances of OptimizR → Optimiz-rs
- README.md: Logo URL now uses raw.githubusercontent.com
- pyproject.toml: version 1.0.0 → 1.0.1
- Cargo.toml: version 1.0.0 → 1.0.1
Updated Branding in ReadTheDocs:

- ✅ Project name in conf.py
- ✅ HTML title and short title
- ✅ All algorithm documentation
- ✅ Getting started guide
- ✅ Installation guide
- ✅ Theory/mathematical foundations
- ✅ Archive documentation
Documentation now consistently uses the new 'optimiz-rs' branding that
matches both PyPI and crates.io package names.
Note: Python module name 'optimizr' in import statements intentionally
unchanged (that's the actual module name).
- Updated Cargo.toml: name = 'optimiz-rs'
- Maintains lib name as 'optimizr' for code compatibility
- Achieves naming consistency with PyPI (optimiz-rs)
Both registries now use the same base name:
- crates.io: optimiz-rs
- PyPI: optimiz-rs
Logo Updates:
- ✅ New logo: logo_optimizrs.png (1024x1536 PNG)
- ✅ README.md: Updated logo reference
- ✅ docs/source/conf.py: Updated html_logo and html_favicon
- ✅ Removed old logos: logo_optimizr_valid.png, logo_optimizr_valid.jpeg
- ✅ Copied from: business/logo/logo_optimizrs.png
The logo now reflects the new optimiz-rs package name across:
- GitHub README
- ReadTheDocs documentation
- Sphinx HTML output
- favicon
All documentation will automatically use the updated branding.
Publication Details:
- ✅ Package name: optimiz-rs (cleaner than optimizr-rs)

Package verified and ready for PyPI publication.
crates.io:
- Successfully published optimizr v1.0.0
- Available at: https://crates.io/crates/optimizr
PyPI Preparation:
- Renamed package to optimizr-rs (avoid name conflict)
- Updated pyproject.toml with new name
- Built wheel: optimizr_rs-1.0.0-cp38-abi3-macosx_10_12_x86_64.whl
- Ready for upload (need API token)
Documentation Updates:
- Updated RELEASE_NOTES with crates.io link
- Updated README.md installation instructions
- Updated LINKEDIN_POST.md with correct package names
- Created PYPI_PUBLISHING.md with token instructions
Next: Get PyPI API token and run twine upload
Details publication blockers:
- crates.io: Email verification required
- PyPI: Package name conflict (optimizr already exists at v1.4.7)
Recommendations:
- Use optimizr-rs for PyPI (clear Rust variant naming)
- Verify email at crates.io/settings/profile
Current status: 99% ready, just need user actions
Notebook Improvements:
- Fixed 05_performance_benchmarks.ipynb: Reduced observation count from 50k to 10k max
- Fixed mean_field_games_tutorial.ipynb: Improved numerical stability
- Reduced grid size (100x100 -> 50x50) for Python implementation
- Added CFL condition checking and auto-adjustment
- Implemented semi-implicit schemes for better stability
- Added sub-stepping for Fokker-Planck solver
- Enhanced error handling with NaN/Inf detection
- Added graceful convergence handling
Marketing Materials:
- Created LINKEDIN_POST.md for v1.0.0 announcement
- Compelling narrative with real benchmarks
- Clear call-to-action for stars and contributions
- Links to documentation and installation
Status:
- All 8 notebooks now functional (100% success rate)
- Ready for crates.io and PyPI publication
- Professional presentation for open source community
Successfully executed and saved outputs for:
- 01_hmm_tutorial.ipynb (HMM regime detection examples)
- 03_optimal_control_tutorial.ipynb (Optimal control and Kalman filtering)
These notebooks now demonstrate working code with real outputs,
validating documentation examples for v1.0.0 release.
Note: Several notebooks require API updates to match current library:
- 02_mcmc_tutorial.ipynb - mcmc_sample API changed
- 03_differential_evolution_tutorial.ipynb - parameter names changed
- 04_kalman_filter_sensor_fusion.ipynb - syntax errors
- 04_real_world_applications.ipynb - requires investigation
- 05_performance_benchmarks.ipynb - requires investigation
- mean_field_games_tutorial.ipynb - requires investigation
These will be fixed in follow-up commits.

This is required because we removed python-bindings from default features
to fix cargo publish linking issues. Maturin now explicitly enables it.
- Remove unused OptimizrError imports in pde_solvers and mod.rs
- Remove unused Array2 import in optimal_transport.rs
- Remove unused Grid and pde_solvers imports in nash_equilibrium.rs
- Fix m_new variable declaration in forward_backward.rs
- Add #[allow(non_snake_case)] for T field/parameter in python_bindings.rs
- Prefix unused hist_cr variable in shade.rs
All changes fix compilation warnings while preserving functionality.

- solve_hjb_full_py() returns (boundaries, x_grid, V(x), V'(x), V''(x))
- Enables value function plotting and analysis
- Trading zone visualization from gradient

Technical Details:
- Returns 8-tuple: (lower, upper, residual, iter, x_grid, value, gradient, hessian)
- All arrays as numpy arrays via PyO3
- Zero overhead - reuses existing solver results
- Registered in py_bindings::register_py_module()
Use Cases:
- Plot value function for strategy verification
- Analyze trading zones from V'(x)
- Diagnostic checks via V''(x) convexity
- Research and backtesting enhancements
- Replace non-existent Python examples with actual files
- Fix all placeholder yourusername URLs to ThotDjehuty
