Release v0.8.2

Features

• Clang-Format Tooling (.clang-format, format.sh):

  • Introduced repository-wide .clang-format specification aligned with Conquer3D's C++17 and CUDA architecture (Allman braces, 4-space indent, right-aligned pointers, preserved includes, intact LaTeX equations and Doxygen tags).
  • Added standalone format.sh bash runner supporting automated C/C++/CUDA discovery, in-place batch formatting, dry-run CI verification (--check), and verbose logging.

• Interactive Showcases & Visual Gallery:

  • Added interactive showcases for the SuperQuadric shape family and end-to-end differentiable volumetric fitting on the Stanford Armadillo mesh.
  • Added differentiable inverse rendering and 3D reconstruction showcase.
  • Unified figure sections into a single responsive visual gallery.

Refactors & Build

• Codebase C++/CUDA Standardization (conquer3d/csrc):

  • Standardized formatting across all 94 C, C++, and CUDA files across kernels, host dispatchers, PyBind11 bindings, and mathematical data structures.

• Documentation & Docstring Polish:

  • Standardized Doxygen parameter tags across headers with explicit directions (@param[in], @param[out], @param[in,out]).
  • Streamlined and unified docstring prose across PyBind11 bindings, CUDA kernels, and device math routines.
  • Rebuilt and re-fingerprinted documentation assets and version manifests for v0.8.2.

• Build System:

  • Bumped package version to 0.8.2 in pyproject.toml.

Examples

• Multi-primitive volumetric abstraction and fitting examples showcasing Conquer3D's differentiable Chamfer distance with SuperFlex loss formulation and watertight CUDA mesh tessellation.
