- Rewrites cookbook/permutation.md to cover the new operator toolkit:
initializers, crossovers (OX/PMX/CX/ERX), mutations, a 'what should I
use' picker, and a worked GA-on-TSP example. JSS multiset section
explains why the strict-permutation crossovers don't compose with
operation-string encodings and shows the local POX pattern.
- Adds cookbook/multi-objective-combinatorial.md: bi-objective TSP via
NSGA-II, bi-objective knapsack (binary encoding), 3-objective JSS
via NSGA-III, and a hypervolume-based operator comparison.
- Updates choosing-an-algorithm.md to reference the new operators in
the single- and multi-objective decision tables, plus a noting
NSGA-II/III's genericity over Vec<usize> and Vec<bool> decisions.
- SUMMARY.md and cookbook.md updated to list the new recipe.
Companion to the feat(explorer) commit. Bumps the version and
brings every cross-referencing doc up to v0.9 currency.
- Cargo.toml: version 0.8.0 -> 0.9.0.
- CHANGELOG: 0.9.0 entry covering the explorer export, the
Problem-side metadata additions, the AlgorithmInfo trait, the
pick_a_car example, and the new cookbook recipe.
- README: closing paragraph of the PickACar example points users
at the explorer with a one-call snippet
(`ExplorerExport::from_result(...).with_algorithm_info(...)
.to_file(...)?`). Version snippets bumped 0.8 -> 0.9.
- New cookbook recipe at docs/book/src/cookbook/explorer.md
covering: enabling the serde feature, enriching Problem with
labels/units/decision-schema, the export call, the JSON schema,
and custom decision-type handling.
- SUMMARY.md and cookbook.md link the new recipe.
- migration.md: new "To 0.9" section documenting the additive
changes (purely backwards-compatible upgrade from 0.8.x).
- introduction.md, comparison.md, choosing-an-algorithm.md,
stability.md: version refs bumped 0.8 -> 0.9.
- cookbook/parallel.md, cookbook/async.md: version refs bumped
0.8 -> 0.9.
- getting-started.md: version refs bumped, serde feature
description expanded to mention the explorer module.
- SECURITY.md: supported-versions table moves to 0.9.x.
Async coverage was incomplete in 0.7 (only RandomSearch and
DifferentialEvolution had run_async). 0.8 closes the gap: every one
of the 33 algorithms now exposes
run_async(&problem, concurrency).await, gated on the async feature.
- Population-based algorithms fan out per-generation evaluations
through evaluate_batch_async with concurrency-bounded
FuturesOrdered chunks.
- Steady-state algorithms (HillClimber, SimulatedAnnealing,
OnePlusOneEs, Paes, NelderMead) await each step sequentially;
they accept the concurrency parameter for API uniformity.
- TabuSearch fans out the K-neighbor batch each step.
- Surrogate algorithms (BayesianOpt, Tpe) batch the initial design
and await per-iteration acquisitions sequentially so the surrogate
can update between picks.
- Hyperband uses a new AsyncPartialProblem trait (mirroring
PartialProblem for multi-fidelity workloads) and a parallel
evaluate_batch_at_budget_async helper; each Successive-Halving
rung fans out its budgeted evaluations.
All paths preserve seeded determinism: RNG draws happen on the main
task in the same order as the sync path, and only the evaluations
are concurrent.
Adds a dedicated cookbook recipe at docs/book/src/cookbook/async.md
with a worked example (DifferentialEvolution under tokio) and
guidance on picking concurrency. Cross-references in SUMMARY.md
and cookbook.md are updated to surface the new recipe.
The follow-up docs commit reconciles the rest of the user guide
and README to describe the new feature; this commit is the bare
async surface.
Theme: documentation and project polish. No public-API changes; this
is the v0.5 release that elevates heuropt's docs/onboarding/governance
to bar-setting status.
Adds:
- mdbook user guide at docs/book/ with intro, getting-started,
defining-problems, choosing-an-algorithm, cookbook (7 recipes),
comparison vs other libraries, stability/SemVer, migration guides.
Deploys to https://swaits.github.io/heuropt/ via .github/workflows/
docs.yml.
- Runnable rustdoc examples on every algorithm (35 of them), all
exercised by cargo test --doc.
- Three real-world examples: portfolio.rs (multi-obj with budget
constraint), hyperparam_tuning.rs (BO + TPE), scheduling.rs
(permutation via SA + SwapMutation against Smith's-rule oracle).
- Governance: CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
(adopting builderscode.org's Builder's Code of Conduct), GitHub
issue templates, PR template.
Polishes:
- README hero with badges + user-guide link.
- lib.rs crate-level docs.
- CHANGELOG entry for 0.5.0.
Bumps Cargo.toml to 0.5.0.
