April 2025 monthly summary for cvxgrp/cvxpy-ipopt. Delivered a focused enhancement: BibTeX Citations Support for CVXPY, enabling reproducible scholarly workflows within the optimization stack. The feature adds BibTeX-citation display for CVXPY, its grammars, and solvers, and introduces a bibtex argument to Problem.solve() to enable citation generation. A new cite() method exists on solver classes, and a centralized citations.py stores citation data for easy reuse across projects and reports. Impact: Improves reproducibility and attribution for academic and industry users, reduces manual effort to generate citations, and strengthens documentation and governance around solver usage within CVXPY workflows. This supports business value by streamlining scholarly integration and enhancing the usability of the IPOPT-backed CVXPY integration. Commit reference: 26794535648035e4e4a9742d84af6ca98aa600f6.
