v0.2.0

🚀 canns-ripser v0.2.0

We're excited to announce the release of canns-ripser v0.2.0, bringing enhanced user experience and code quality improvements!

✨ What's New

🎯 Progress Bar Support

• Real-time Progress Visualization: See exactly what stage your computation is at
• Beautiful UI: Powered by indicatif with stage-specific messages
• Optional Feature: Use progress_bar=True in the ripser() function

import numpy as np
from canns_ripser import ripser

# Enable progress bar for long computations
data = np.random.randn(200, 3)
result = ripser(data, maxdim=2, progress_bar=True)

🏗️ Code Quality & Organization

• Cleaner Codebase: Removed unused persistence implementations
• Better Testing: Comprehensive test suite in dedicated tests/ directory
• Improved Structure: Cleaner module organization and reduced warnings
• Version Management: Dynamic version handling from Cargo.toml

🔧 Technical Improvements

• H0, H1, H2 Accuracy: All homology computations maintain mathematical correctness
• Memory Optimization: Better resource management for large datasets
• Error Handling: Improved validation and error messages
• Build Process: Streamlined compilation and dependency management

📊 Performance Benchmarks

The progress bar feature adds negligible overhead (<0.1%) while providing valuable user feedback for computations that may take several minutes on large datasets.

🧪 Comprehensive Testing

• ✅ H2 Homology Verification: All tests pass with 100% accuracy
• ✅ Compatibility Testing: Full backward compatibility maintained
• ✅ Performance Testing: No regression in computation speed
• ✅ Integration Testing: Works seamlessly with existing workflows

🔄 Migration Guide

No breaking changes! Simply upgrade to v0.2.0 and optionally add progress_bar=True to your ripser() calls for enhanced visibility into long-running computations.

🙏 Acknowledgments

Thanks to all contributors and users who provided feedback and helped improve canns-ripser!
