September 2025 (emdgroup/baybe): Delivered API hygiene, reliability improvements, and developer-focused enhancements across API, docs, tests, and release processes. Highlights include API cleanup with a renamed constructor from_values_mapped_to_unit_interval and shadowing fix; deterministic RNG enabling repeatable tests; metadata-driven organization and new metadata argument on convenience constructors; extensive documentation and example improvements; a formal release (0.14.0) with explicit Python in CI; and broad testing and cache improvements to boost stability and predictability. Major bugs addressed include ensuring OverflowError is raised where appropriate, ensuring type is always present in to_dict, disallowing type keys in misc metadata, and robust cache invalidation/clearing. Together these changes reduce risk, improve reproducibility, and accelerate adoption of the modern interface while preserving backward compatibility where feasible.
