Aug 1, 2025Summary for 2025-08: Delivered JuliaBUGS.jl v0.10 with significant performance and usability enhancements, along with focused project housekeeping. This release accelerates evaluation with a faster evaluation mode, standardizes the Gibbs sampler API, introduces a new conditioning workflow, and adds an ergonomic type system for model parameters. Also provided a migration guide and breaking changes notes to ease upgrading. Reorganized project structure by relocating History.md into the JuliaBUGS folder, improving documentation maintenance and discoverability. No major bugs fixed this month; the emphasis was on feature delivery, API stability, and maintainability to reduce future support costs and accelerate customer onboarding.
