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

///! Information Theory Metrics
///!
///! This module provides implementations of fundamental information theory measures:
///!
///! - **Shannon Entropy**: H(X) = -Σ p(x) log p(x)
///! Quantifies the uncertainty/information content of a random variable
///!
///! - **Mutual Information**: I(X;Y) = H(X) + H(Y) - H(X,Y)
///! Measures the dependence between two random variables
///!
///! # Applications
///!
///! - Feature selection (high MI with target)
///! - Dependency detection in time series
///! - Causality testing
///! - Compression and coding
///!
///! # References
///!

/// Shannon Entropy Calculation
///
/// Computes the Shannon entropy of a random variable using histogram-based
/// probability estimation.
///!
///! H(X) = -Σᵢ p(xᵢ) log(p(xᵢ))
///!
///! where p(xᵢ) is estimated by binning the data.
///!
///! # Arguments
///!
///! * `x` - Sample values from the random variable
///! * `n_bins` - Number of bins for histogram estimation (default: 10)
///!
///! # Returns
///!
///! Entropy in nats (natural logarithm). Multiply by 1/ln(2) for bits.
///!
///! # Example
///!
///! ```python
///! import optimizr
///! import numpy as np
///!
///! # Uniform distribution has high entropy
///! x_uniform = np.random.uniform(0, 1, 10000)
///! h_uniform = optimizr.shannon_entropy(x_uniform, n_bins=20)
///! print(f"Uniform entropy: {h_uniform:.4f} nats")
///!
///! # Peaked distribution has low entropy
///! x_peaked = np.random.normal(0, 0.1, 10000)
///! h_peaked = optimizr.shannon_entropy(x_peaked, n_bins=20)
///! print(f"Peaked entropy: {h_peaked:.4f} nats")

///
/// Computes the mutual information between two random variables:

///! I(X;Y) = H(X) + H(Y) - H(X,Y)

///! where H(X,Y) is the joint entropy.
///!
///! Mutual information measures how much knowing one variable reduces
///! uncertainty about the other. I(X;Y) = 0 if X and Y are independent.
///!
///! # Arguments
///!
///! * `x` - Sample values from first random variable
///! * `y` - Sample values from second random variable (must be same length as x)
///! * `n_bins` - Number of bins for histogram estimation (default: 10)
///!
///! # Returns
///!
///! Mutual information in nats. Always non-negative.
///!
///! # Example
///!
///! ```python
///! import optimizr

///! # Independent variables
///! x = np.random.randn(10000)
///! y = np.random.randn(10000)
