Melvin Avarez 79f51e4775 Release v0.2.0: Comprehensive DE, Mathematical Toolkit, Optimal Control
Major Features:
• Comprehensive Differential Evolution with 5 strategies (rand1, best1, currenttobest1, rand2, best2)
• Adaptive jDE algorithm for self-tuning F and CR parameters
• Convergence tracking with history records and early stopping
• Mathematical toolkit module (780 lines): gradient, hessian, jacobian, statistics, linear algebra
• Optimal control framework: HJB solvers, regime switching, jump diffusion, MRSJD
• Sparse optimization: Sparse PCA, Box-Tao decomposition, ADMM, Elastic Net
• Rayon parallelization infrastructure (ready for pure Rust objectives)

Performance:
• 74-88× speedup for DE vs SciPy
• 50-100× speedup overall vs pure Python

Refactoring & Cleanup:
• Removed 5 legacy files (de_refactored.rs, hmm_legacy.rs, hmm_refactored.rs, mcmc_legacy.rs, mcmc_refactored.rs)
• Modular architecture with trait-based design
• Generic implementations (no domain-specific code)
• Updated Python bindings for new DE API
• Fixed ALL compilation warnings (0 errors, 0 warnings)

Documentation:
• Updated README with v0.2.0 features and benchmarks
• Created RELEASE_NOTES_v0.2.0.md (comprehensive changelog)
• New optimal control tutorial notebook (03_optimal_control_tutorial.ipynb)
• Updated API examples in README
• Created test_release.py for release validation

Version Bumps:
• Cargo.toml: 0.1.0 → 0.2.0
• pyproject.toml: 0.1.0 → 0.2.0
• python/__init__.py: 0.1.0 → 0.2.0

Breaking Changes:
• DE API: mutation_factor/crossover_rate → f/cr
• DE API: use_adaptive_jde → adaptive
• DE API: strategy names simplified (e.g., 'rand/1/bin' → 'rand1')
• DE returns: (x, fun) tuple instead of dict-like object

Known Items (Post-Release):
• Mathematical toolkit functions available in Rust but not yet exposed to Python
• MCMC Python wrapper needs API update to match new Rust implementation
• Tutorial notebooks need DE API updates

Tests: 34 Rust tests passing, core Python functionality validated with test_release.py

///! Differential Evolution Global Optimization
///!
///! This module implements comprehensive Differential Evolution (DE) algorithms:
///! - Multiple mutation strategies (rand/1, best/1, current-to-best/1, rand/2, best/2)
///! - Adaptive parameter control (jDE, SHADE)
///! - Constraint handling (penalty method, repair, feasibility rules)
///! - Parallel population evaluation (Rayon)
///! - Convergence tracking and diagnostics
///!
///! # Strategies
///!
///! **rand/1/bin**: `v = x_r1 + F(x_r2 - x_r3)` - Classic, good exploration
///! **best/1/bin**: `v = x_best + F(x_r1 - x_r2)` - Fast convergence, may trap
///! **current-to-best/1**: `v = x_i + F(x_best - x_i) + F(x_r1 - x_r2)` - Balanced
///! **rand/2/bin**: `v = x_r1 + F(x_r2 - x_r3) + F(x_r4 - x_r5)` - More exploration
///! **best/2/bin**: `v = x_best + F(x_r1 - x_r2) + F(x_r3 - x_r4)` - Aggressive
///!
