No contact phase planning, just straightforward, "simple" optimisation under complementarity constraints 😁

Frictional contact-implicit operational space control in SIMPLE, coming soon to an arxiv and git repo near you! 😃

Maintenance/followup release with various fonts & backends related fixes (e.g. Emscripten content scaling fixes. Vulkan fixes. Raw OSX backend fix for multi-viewports)

The old Boost.Python bindings will remain for a while as we transition the rest of our stack (yes, including Pinocchio!) to nanobind this year.

Introduce next-generation Python bindings using `nanobind` by ManifoldFR · Pull Request #659 · coal-library/coal This (draft) pull request adds a second set of Python bindings using the modern nanobind bindings generator. The new nanobind-based API can be imported as a replacement for the old one by importing...

Very happy to announce that our collision algorithms library Coal (formerly HPP-FCL) now supports @wjakob.bsky.social's nanobind for its Python bindings! 😀

The new bindings will be available in package managers in the next release.

Annoucement - Switch to nanobind · Issue #2616 · stack-of-tasks/pinocchio We are in the process of switching from Boost.Python to nanobind in Pinocchio. The overall objective is, among other objectives, to: reduce the size of Python modules with similar or improved perfo...

Software announcement: later this year, the Pinocchio rigid-body dynamics library will be switching to nanobind (from the legacy Boost.Python) for its Python bindings!
