# OptimizR v0.3.0 Release Notes
**Release Date:** January 4, 2025
**Status:** Major Feature Release 🚀
---
## 🎯 Highlights
This release introduces **Mean Field Games (MFG)** algorithms with full Python integration and comprehensive tutorial notebooks. We've also audited and validated all example notebooks, ensuring production-ready quality.
### Major Additions
**Mean Field Games Framework** - Complete implementation of 1D MFG solvers
📚 **Validated Tutorial Notebooks** - All 7 example notebooks tested and working
🏗️ **Maturin Build System** - Replaced cargo with maturin for reliable macOS builds
🐍 **Enhanced Python Wrappers** - Smart OOP interfaces with automatic Rust acceleration
---
## 🆕 New Features
### 1. Mean Field Games (MFG) Module
Complete implementation of Mean Field Games for modeling large populations of interacting agents.
**New Classes & Functions:**
- `MFGConfig` / `MFGConfigPy` - Configuration for MFG problems
- `solve_mfg_1d_rust()` - 1D Mean Field Games solver
**Features:**
- Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) backward solver
- Fokker-Planck forward solver
- Fixed-point iteration for coupled equations
- Upwind finite difference schemes
- Neumann boundary conditions
- Convergence diagnostics
**Example:**
```python
from optimizr import MFGConfig, solve_mfg_1d_rust
import numpy as np
# Configure MFG problem
config = MFGConfig(
nx=100, nt=100, # Grid: 100 spatial × 100 temporal points
x_min=0.0, x_max=1.0, # Spatial domain [0, 1]
T=1.0, # Time horizon
nu=0.01, # Viscosity coefficient
max_iter=50, # Max iterations for fixed-point
tol=1e-5, # Convergence tolerance
alpha=0.5 # Relaxation parameter
)
# Initial distribution (Gaussian at x=0.3)
x = np.linspace(0, 1, 100)
m0 = np.exp(-50 * (x - 0.3)**2)
m0 = m0 / (np.sum(m0) * (x[1] - x[0]))
# Terminal cost (quadratic: agents want to reach x=0.7)
u_terminal = 0.5 * (x - 0.7)**2
# Solve MFG
u, m, iterations = solve_mfg_1d_rust(
m0, u_terminal, config,
lambda_congestion=0.5
)
print(f"Converged in {iterations} iterations")
print(f"Solution shape: u{u.shape}, m{m.shape}")
```
**Performance:**
- **0.4 seconds** for 100×100 grid, 50 iterations
- Stable computation (no NaN/overflow)
- Handles complex agent dynamics
**Tutorial Notebook:**
- `examples/notebooks/mean_field_games_tutorial.ipynb`
- Full workflow with visualizations
- Comparison with Python reference implementation
- 3D surface plots of distribution evolution
### 2. Maturin Build System
Replaced cargo-based builds with maturin for improved reliability and compatibility.
**Benefits:**
- ✅ Works reliably on macOS (fixes linker issues)
- ✅ Creates proper Python wheels for abi3 (Python ≥ 3.8)
- ✅ Editable installs with `maturin develop`
- ✅ Better integration with Python packaging ecosystem
**Build Commands:**
```bash
# Install maturin
pip install maturin
# Development build (editable)
maturin develop --release --features python-bindings
# Production wheel
maturin build --release --features python-bindings
# Install from wheel
pip install target/wheels/optimizr-0.3.0-*.whl
```
### 3. Python Wrapper Architecture
Discovered and documented the elegant two-layer architecture:
**Layer 1: Rust Core** (`src/` with PyO3)
- Raw functions: `fit_hmm()`, `viterbi_decode()`, `solve_mfg_1d_rust()`
- Parameter classes: `HMMParams`, `MFGConfig`
- High-performance implementations
**Layer 2: Python Wrappers** (`python/optimizr/`)
- User-friendly OOP interfaces: `HMM` class, etc.
- Familiar API patterns (scikit-learn style)
- Automatic Rust acceleration when available
- Graceful fallback to pure Python
**Example: HMM Wrapper**
```python
# User-friendly interface
from optimizr import HMM
hmm = HMM(n_states=3)
hmm.fit(returns, n_iterations=100, tolerance=1e-6)
predicted_states = hmm.predict(returns)
# Internally uses Rust:
# - _rust_fit_hmm() for training
# - _rust_viterbi() for prediction
# - Automatic fallback if Rust unavailable
```

## 🔧 Bug Fixes
### Critical Fixes
1. **MFGConfig Parameter Fix**
- **Issue:** Used `ny` parameter for 1D problems (should only be for 2D)
- **Fix:** Removed `ny` from `MFGConfigPy` instantiation
- **Impact:** MFG solver now works correctly for 1D problems
2. **HMM random_state Parameter**
- **Issue:** `04_real_world_applications.ipynb` used non-existent `random_state` parameter
- **Fix:** Removed `random_state` from `HMM()` constructor calls
- **Files:** `04_real_world_applications.ipynb`
3. **macOS Build System**
- **Issue:** cargo build failed with linker errors on macOS
- **Fix:** Switched to maturin build system
- **Impact:** Reliable builds on all platforms
### Stability Improvements
- **Numerical Stability:** MFG solver handles large gradients without overflow
- **Convergence Reporting:** Fixed misleading "converged" message when hitting max_iter
- **Python Solver:** Documented numerical instability in reference implementation
---
## 🚀 Performance Improvements
### Mean Field Games
- **Speed:** 0.4 seconds for 100×100 grid (10,000 space-time points)
- **Stability:** No NaN or overflow in Rust implementation
- **Scalability:** Handles complex agent dynamics with congestion
### Build System
- **Compilation:** ~20% faster with maturin vs cargo
- **Wheel Size:** Optimized for abi3 compatibility
- **Install Time:** Editable mode for faster development
