v0.3.0

StructureFunctions v0.3.0

Diff since v0.2.0

Breaking changes

• Backend selection is now type-based instead of symbol-based.
  • Old: backend = :serial, :threaded, :distributed
  • New: backend = SerialBackend(), ThreadedBackend(), DistributedBackend(), GPUBackend(...), AutoBackend()
• AutoBackend() is now the explicit auto-selection path.
• API/docs now reflect operator-first, typed backend usage throughout.

New features

• Added typed execution backend hierarchy:
  • SerialBackend
  • ThreadedBackend (OhMyThreads extension)
  • DistributedBackend
  • GPUBackend (KernelAbstractions extension)
  • AutoBackend
• Added comprehensive extension-based GPU path and parity-focused backend design.
• Added extensive new documentation pages and worked examples.

Fixes

• Fixed critical threaded buffer indexing issue (threadid()-related safety bug).
• Fixed OhMyThreads reduction integration/signature issues.
• Improved type stability in backend paths (including removal of unstable dynamic Val construction in hot paths).
• Added explicit boolean keyword annotations where needed (verbose, show_progress).
• Fixed progress display behavior in main calculation loops.
• Reduced JET false positives by tightening analysis scope to package code.

Documentation

• Expanded and reorganized package documentation for v0.3.0:
  • architecture
  • backend guide
  • extensions guide
  • theory/reference material
  • real-data workflows
• Added runnable example workflows for serial, threaded, distributed, GPU, and real-data usage.

Migration guide (quick)

• Replace symbol backends with typed backend constructors.
• If using threading, ensure OhMyThreads is available.
• If using GPU backend, ensure KernelAbstractions-compatible backend dependencies are installed.
