Jul 1, 2025In July 2025, PyRigi/PyRigi delivered targeted documentation improvements focused on floating-point and numerical computations, aimed at reducing user errors and improving result correctness. The work consolidates two updates into a single User Guide clarifications effort, highlighting pitfalls in framework rigidity calculations when using floating-point fractions instead of SymPy expressions and warning about omitting numerical=True which can lead to incorrect results. These changes are intended to boost reliability, user trust, and reduce support overhead for numerical workflows.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 highlights for PyRigi/PyRigi: Delivered a unified 2D/3D rotation API with robust input validation and plotting reliability. Key features include rotate3D and a unified rotate alias, enabling 3D rotations with an arbitrary point-axis, and extending rotate2D to rotate around an arbitrary point axis with dimensionality checks. Added tests validating the new behavior. Fixed a plotting regression in plt.savefig to prevent duplicate file extensions, ensuring saved plots match intended filenames. These changes enhance API consistency, safety, and user experience, and pave the way for more complex 3D transformations and reliable plotting workflows. Technical impact includes API design improvements, enhanced input validation, added unit tests, and a targeted plotting bug fix.
