## [0.28.0]
2021-07-11 23:42:45 +08:00
### Added
- Implement `Hash` for `Transform` .
2021-06-27 00:39:02 +08:00
### Modified
2021-07-11 23:42:45 +08:00
- The `OPoint<T, D>` type has been added. It takes the dimension number as a type-level integer (e.g. `Const<3>` ) instead
of a const-generic. The type `Point<T, const D: usize>` is now an alias for `OPoint` . This changes doesn't affect any
of the existing code using `Point` . However, it will allow the use `OPoint` in a generic context where the dimension
cannot be easily expressed as a const-generic (because of the current limitation of const-generics in Rust).
- Several clippy warnings were fixed. This results in some method signature changes (e.g. taking `self` instead of `&self` )
but this should not have any practical infulances on existing codebase.
2021-06-27 00:39:02 +08:00
- The `Point::new` constructors are no longer const-fn. This is due to some limitations in const-fn
not allowing custom trait-bounds. Use the `point!` macro instead to build points in const environments.
2021-07-11 23:42:45 +08:00
- `Dynamic::new` and `Unit::new_unchecked` are now const-fn.
- Methods returning `Result<(), ()>` now return `bool` instead.
### Fixed
- Fixed a potential unsoundess issue when converting a mutable slice to a `&mut[T]` .
2021-06-27 00:39:02 +08:00
2021-06-04 17:08:54 +08:00
## [0.27.1]
### Fixed
- Fixed a bug in the conversion from `glam::Vec2` or `glam::DVec2` to `Isometry2` .
2021-06-02 20:53:43 +08:00
## [0.27.0]
This removes the `convert-glam` and `convert-glam-unchecked` optional features.
Instead, this adds the `convert-glam013` , `convert-glam014` , and `convert-glam015` optional features for
conversions targeting the versions 0.13, 0.14, and 0.15 of `glam` .
### Added
- Add macros `matrix!` , `dmatrix!` , `vector!` , `dvector!` , `point!` for constructing matrices/vectors/points in a
more convenient way. See [#886 ](https://github.com/dimforge/nalgebra/pull/886 ) and [#899 ](https://github.com/dimforge/nalgebra/pull/899 ).
- Add `CooMatrix::reserve` to `nalgebra-sparse` .
- Add basic support for serialization using `rkyv` . Can be enabled with the features `rkyv-serialize` or
`rkyv-serialize-no-std` .
### Fixed
- Fixed a potential unsoundness issue after deserializing an invalid `DVector` using `serde` .
2021-04-27 19:29:15 +08:00
## [0.26.2]
2021-04-27 20:26:09 +08:00
### Added
2021-04-27 19:29:15 +08:00
- Conversion from an array `[T; D]` to an isometry `Isometry<T, _, D>` (as a translation).
- Conversion from a static vector `SVector<T; D>` to an isometry `Isometry<T, _, D>` (as a translation).
- Conversion from a point `Point<T; D>` to an isometry `Isometry<T, _, D>` (as a translation).
- Conversion of an array `[T; D]` from/to a translation `Translation<T, D>` .
- Conversion of a point `Point<T, D>` to a translation `Translation<T, D>` .
- Conversion of the tuple of glam types `(Vec3, Quat)` from/to an `Isometry2` or `Isometry3` .
- Conversion of a glam type `Vec2/3/4` from/to a `Translation2/3/4` .
2021-04-12 23:54:06 +08:00
## [0.26.1]
Fix a regression introduced in 0.26.0 preventing `DVector` from being serialized with `serde` .
2021-04-12 22:06:47 +08:00
## [0.26.0]
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
This release integrates `min-const-generics` to nalgebra. See
2021-04-13 00:15:16 +08:00
[our blog post ](https://www.dimforge.com/blog/2021/04/12/integrating-const-generics-to-nalgebra )
2021-04-12 22:06:47 +08:00
for details about this release.
### Added
- Add type aliases for unit vector, e.g., `UnitVector3` .
- Add a `pow` and `pow_mut` function to square matrices.
- Add `Cholesky::determinant` to compute the determinant of a matrix decomposed
with Cholesky.
- Add the `serde-serialize-no-std` feature to enable serialization of static matrices/vectors
with serde, but without requiring `std` .
### Modified
- The `serde` crate isn't enabled by default now. Enable the `serde-serialize` or the
`serde-serialize-no-std` features instead.
- The `Const<const D: usize>` type has been introduced to represent dimensions known
at compile-time. This replaces the type-level integers from `typenum` as well as
the `U1, U2, ..., U127` types from `nalgebra` . These `U1, U2, ..., U127` are now
just aliases for `Const<D>` , e.g., `type U2 = Const<2>` .
- The `ArrayStorage` now uses a standard array `[[T; R]; C]` instead of a `GenericArray` .
- Many trait bounds were changed to accommodate const-generics. Most of these changes
should be transparent wrt. non-generic code.
- The `MatrixMN` alias has been deprecated. Use `OMatrix` or `SMatrix` instead.
- The `MatrixN<T, D>` alias has been deprecated. Use `OMatrix<T, D, D>` or `SMatrix` instead.
- The `VectorN<T, D>` alias has been deprecated. Use `OVector` or `SVector` instead.
- The `Point` , `Translation` , `Isometry` , `Similarity` , and `Transformation` types now take an
integer for their dimension (instead of a type-level integer).
- The type parameter order of `Isometry` , `Similarity` , `Transformation` changed to put
the integer dimensions in the last position (this is required by the compiler).
- The `::new` constructors of translations, points, matrices, and vectors of dimensions `<= 6`
are now `const fn` , making them usable to define constant globals. The `Quaternion::new`
constructor is also a `const fn` now.
2021-04-01 18:08:43 +08:00
## [0.25.4]
### Fixed
- Fix a compilation error when only the `serde-serialize` feature is enabled.
2021-03-07 18:37:26 +08:00
## [0.25.3]
2021-03-07 02:17:53 +08:00
### Added
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
- The `Vector::simd_cap_magnitude` method to cap the magnitude of the vector with
2021-03-07 02:17:53 +08:00
SIMD components.
2021-03-06 21:05:38 +08:00
## [0.25.2]
2021-03-06 00:12:11 +08:00
### Added
2021-03-06 19:45:58 +08:00
- A `convert-glam` cargo feature to enable implementations of `From` traits to convert
between `glam` types and `nalgebra` types.
- A `convert-glam-unchecked` cargo feature to enable some extra `glam` /`nalgebra` conversions that may
lead to unexpected results if used improperly. For example, this enables the conversion from a
`glam::Mat4` to a `na::Isometry3` . This conversion will be cheap (without any check) but willlead to
unexpected results if the glam matrix contains non-isometric components (like scaling for example).
2021-03-06 00:12:11 +08:00
- A `cast` method has been added to most types. This can be used to change the
type of the components of a given entity. Example: `vector.cast::<f32>()` .
2021-03-02 21:24:55 +08:00
## [0.25.1]
This release replaces the version 0.25.0 which has been yanked. The 0.25.0 version
added significant complication to build `nalgebra` targeting a `#[no-std]` platform
not supported by `rand` .
The `rand` dependency is now optional (and disabled by default). You may enable it with:
- The `rand-no-std` cargo feature when targeting a `#[no-std]` environment.
- The `rand` cargo feature when targeting a `std` environment.
## [0.25.0] - Yanked
2021-03-01 21:25:29 +08:00
This updates all the dependencies of nalgebra to their latest version, including:
- rand 0.8
- proptest 1.0
- simba 0.4
2021-03-01 21:48:59 +08:00
### New crate: nalgebra-sparse
2021-03-01 21:25:29 +08:00
Alongside this release of `nalgebra` , we are releasing `nalgebra-sparse` : a crate dedicated to sparse matrix
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
computation with `nalgebra` . The `sparse` module of `nalgebra` itself still exists for backward compatibility,
2021-03-01 21:25:29 +08:00
but it will be deprecated soon in favor of the `nalgebra-sparse` crate.
2021-02-22 21:32:04 +08:00
### Added
2021-03-01 21:25:29 +08:00
* Add `UnitDualQuaternion` , a dual-quaternion with unit magnitude which can be used as an isometry transformation.
* Add `UDU::new()` and `matrix.udu()` to compute the UDU factorization of a matrix.
* Add `ColPivQR::new()` and `matrix.col_piv_qr()` to compute the QR decomposition with column pivoting of a matrix.
2021-02-22 21:32:04 +08:00
* Add `from_basis_unchecked` to all the rotation types. This builds a rotation from a set of basis vectors (representing the columns of the corresponding rotation matrix).
* Add `Matrix::cap_magnitude` to cap the magnitude of a vector.
* Add `UnitQuaternion::append_axisangle_linearized` to approximately append a rotation represented as an axis-angle to a rotation represented as an unit quaternion.
2021-03-01 21:25:29 +08:00
* Mark the iterators on matrix components as `DoubleEndedIter` .
2021-02-22 21:32:04 +08:00
* Re-export `simba::simd::SimdValue` at the root of the `nalgebra` crate.
2020-12-30 22:07:13 +08:00
## [0.24.0]
### Added
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
* The `DualQuaternion` type. It is still work-in-progress, but the basics are here:
2020-12-30 22:07:13 +08:00
creation from its real and dual part, multiplication of two dual quaternions,
and normalization.
### Removed
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
* There is no blanket `impl<T> PartialEq for Unit<T>` anymore. Instead, it is
2020-12-30 22:07:13 +08:00
implemented specifically for `UnitComplex` , `UnitQuaternion` and `Unit<Vector>` .
2020-12-01 23:24:50 +08:00
## [0.23.2]
In this release, we improved the documentation of some of the geometric types
by applying changes similar to what we did in the version 0.23.1 for matrices.
2020-12-18 19:27:38 +08:00
### Added
* The `Isometry::inv_mul` method which is a more efficient way of doing
`isometry1.inverse() * isometry2` .
2020-11-19 23:18:51 +08:00
## [0.23.1]
In this release we improved the documentation of the matrix and vector types by:
- Grouping `impl` bocks logically, adding a title comment to these impl blocks.
- Reference these impl blocks docs at the top of the documentation page for `Matrix` .
- Reduce the depth of type aliasing. Now all vector and matrix types are aliases of `Matrix`
directly (instead of being aliases for other aliases).
## [0.23.0]
2020-10-25 18:39:38 +08:00
### Added
* The `.inverse_transform_unit_vector(v)` was added to `Rotation2/3` , `Isometry2/3` , `UnitQuaternion` , and `UnitComplex` .
It applies the corresponding rotation to a unit vector `Unit<Vector2/3>` .
* The `Point.map(f)` and `Point.apply(f)` to apply a function to each component of the point, similarly to `Vector.map(f)`
and `Vector.apply(f)` .
* The `Quaternion::from([N; 4])` conversion to build a quaternion from an array of four elements.
* The `Isometry::from(Translation)` conversion to build an isometry from a translation.
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
* The `Vector::ith_axis(i)` which build a unit vector, e.g., `Unit<Vector3<f32>>` with its i-th component set to 1.0, and the
2020-10-25 18:39:38 +08:00
others set to zero.
* The `Isometry.lerp_slerp` and `Isometry.try_lerp_slerp` methods to interpolate between two isometries using linear
interpolation for the translational part, and spherical interpolation for the rotational part.
2020-10-25 21:00:47 +08:00
* The `Rotation2.slerp` , `Rotation3.slerp` , and `UnitQuaternion.slerp` method for
spherical interpolation.
2020-10-25 18:39:38 +08:00
2020-08-26 03:15:56 +08:00
## [0.22.0]
In this release, we are using the new version 0.2 of simba. One major change of that version is that the
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
use of `libm` is now opt-in when building targeting `no-std` environment. If you are using floating-point
2020-08-26 03:15:56 +08:00
operations with nalgebra in a `no-std` environment, you will need to enable the new `libm` feature
of nalgebra for your code to compile again.
2020-06-07 16:29:10 +08:00
### Added
2020-08-26 03:15:56 +08:00
* The `libm` feature that enables `libm` when building for `no-std` environment.
* The `libm-force` feature that enables `libm` even when building for a not `no-std` environment.
2020-06-07 16:29:10 +08:00
* `Cholesky::new_unchecked` which build a Cholesky decomposition without checking that its input is
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
positive-definite. It can be used with SIMD types.
2020-06-07 16:29:10 +08:00
* The `Default` trait is now implemented for matrices, and quaternions. They are all filled with zeros,
except for `UnitQuaternion` which is initialized with the identity.
* Matrix exponential `matrix.exp()` .
2020-08-26 03:15:56 +08:00
* The `Vector::ith(i, x)` that builds a vector filled with zeros except for the `i` -th component set to `x` .
2020-04-06 04:46:34 +08:00
## [0.21.0]
In this release, we are no longer relying on traits from the __alga__ crate for our generic code.
Instead, we use traits from the new [simba ](https://crates.io/crates/simba ) crate which are both
simpler, and allow for significant optimizations like AoSoA SIMD.
2021-01-29 20:33:37 +08:00
Refer to the [monthly dimforge blogpost ](https://www.dimforge.org/blog/2020/04/01/this-month-in-dimforge/ )
2020-04-06 04:46:34 +08:00
for details about this switch and its benefits.
### Added
* It is now possible to use SIMD types like `simba::f32x4` as scalar types for nalgebra's matrices and
geometric types.
### Modified
* Use of traits like `alga::general::{RealField, ComplexField}` have now been replaced by
`simba::scalar::{RealField, ComplexField}` .
* The implementation of traits from the __alga__ crate (and well as the dependency to _alga__) are now
omitted unless the `alga` cargo feature is activated.
### Removed
* The `Neg` unary operator is no longer implemented for `UnitComplex` and `UnitQuaternion` . This caused
hard-to-track errors when we mistakenly write, e.g., `-q * v` instead of `-(q * v)` .
* The `na::convert_unchecked` is no longer marked as unsafe.
2020-03-03 19:34:47 +08:00
## [0.20.0]
### Added
* `cholesky.rank_one_update(...)` which performs a rank-one update on the cholesky decomposition of a matrix.
* `From<&Matrix>` is now implemented for matrix slices.
* `.try_set_magnitude(...)` which sets the magnitude of a vector, while keeping its direction.
2020-03-08 02:06:57 +08:00
* Implementations of `From` and `Into` for the conversion between matrix slices and standard (`& [N]` `&mut [N]` ) slices.
2020-03-03 19:34:47 +08:00
### Modified
* We started some major changes in order to allow non-Copy types to be used as scalar types inside of matrices/vectors.
## [0.19.0]
2019-08-28 02:53:54 +08:00
### Added
* `.remove_rows_at` and `remove_columns_at` which removes a set of rows or columns (specified by indices) from a matrix.
2020-03-03 19:34:47 +08:00
* Several formatting traits have been implemented for all matrices/vectors: `LowerExp` , `UpperExp` , `Octal` , `LowerHex` ,
`UpperHex` , `Binary` , `Pointer` .
* `UnitQuaternion::quaternions_mean(...)` which computes the mean rotation of a set of unit quaternions. This implements
the algorithm from _Oshman, Yaakov, and Avishy Carmi, "Attitude estimation from vector observations using a genetic-algorithm-embedded quaternion particle filter."
### Modified
* It is now possible to get the `min/max` element of unsigned integer matrices.
### Added to nalgebra-glm
* Some infinite and reversed perspectives: `::infinite_perspective_rh_no` , `::infinite_perspective_rh_zo` ,
`::reversed_perspective_rh_zo` , and `::reversed_infinite_perspective_rh_zo` .
2019-08-28 02:53:54 +08:00
2019-03-31 23:05:24 +08:00
## [0.18.0]
2019-03-31 21:25:54 +08:00
This release adds full complex number support to nalgebra. This includes all common vector/matrix operations as well
as matrix decomposition. This excludes geometric type (like `Isometry` , `Rotation` , `Translation` , etc.) from the
`geometry` module.
2019-02-19 05:41:46 +08:00
### Added
2019-03-31 23:05:24 +08:00
#### Quaternion and geometric operations
* Add trigonometric functions for quaternions: `.cos, .sin, .tan, .acos, .asin, .atan, .cosh, .sinh, .tanh, .acosh, .asinh, .atanh` .
* Add geometric algebra operations for quaternions: `.inner, .outer, .project, .rejection`
2019-04-01 05:14:07 +08:00
* Add `.left_div, .right_div` for quaternions.
2019-02-19 05:41:46 +08:00
* Add `.renormalize` to `Unit<...>` and `Rotation3` to correct potential drift due to repeated operations.
2019-03-31 23:05:24 +08:00
Those drifts could cause them not to be pure rotations anymore.
#### Convolution
* `.convolve_full(kernel)` returns the convolution of `self` by `kernel` .
* `.convolve_valid(kernel)` returns the convolution of `self` by `kernel` after removal of all the elements relying on zero-padding.
* `.convolve_same(kernel)` returns the convolution of `self` by `kernel` with a result of the same size as `self` .
#### Complex number support
2019-02-19 05:41:46 +08:00
* Add the `::from_matrix` constructor too all rotation types to extract a rotation from a raw matrix.
* Add the `::from_matrix_eps` constructor too all rotation types to extract a rotation from a raw matrix. This takes
more argument than `::from_matrix` to control the convergence of the underlying optimization algorithm.
2019-03-31 23:05:24 +08:00
* Add `.camax()` which returns the matrix component with the greatest L1-norm.
* Add `.camin()` which returns the matrix component with the smallest L1-norm.
* Add `.ad_mul(b)` for matrix-multiplication of `self.adjoint() * b` .
* Add `.ad_mul_to(b)` which is the same as `.ad_mul` but with a provided matrix to be filled with the result of the multiplication.
* Add BLAS operations involving complex conjugation (following similar names as the original BLAS spec):
* `.dotc(rhs)` equal to `self.adjoint() * rhs` .
* `.gerc(alpha, x, y, beta)` equivalent to `self = alpha * x * y.adjoint() + beta * self`
* `.hegerc` which is like `gerc` but for Hermitian matrices.
* `.syger` which is the new name of `.ger_symm` which is equivalent to `self = alpha * x * y.transpose() + beta * self` .
* `.sygemv` which is the new name of `.gemv_symm` which is equivalent to `self = alpha * a * x + beta * self` with `a` symmetric.
* `.hegemv(alpha, a, x, beta)` which is like `.sygemv` but with `a` Hermitian.
* `.gemv_ad(alpha, a, x, beta)` which is equivalent to `self = alpha * a.adjoint() * x + beta * self` .
* `.gemm_ad(alpha, a, b, beta)` which is equivalent to `self = alpha * a.adjoint() * b + beta * self` .
* `.icamax()` which returns the index of the complex vector component with the greatest L1-norm.
2019-03-31 23:30:05 +08:00
Note that all the other BLAS operation will continue to work for all fields, including floats and complex numbers.
2019-03-31 23:05:24 +08:00
### Renamed
* `RealSchur` has been renamed `Schur` because it can now work with complex matrices.
2019-02-19 05:41:46 +08:00
## [0.17.0]
2018-09-13 11:38:57 +08:00
### Added
2018-11-23 14:01:45 +08:00
* Add swizzling up to dimension 3 for vectors. For example, you can do `v.zxy()` as an equivalent to `Vector3::new(v.z, v.x, v.y)` .
* Add swizzling up to dimension 3 for points. For example, you can do `p.zxy()` as an equivalent to `Point3::new(p.z, p.x, p.y)` .
2018-09-13 11:38:57 +08:00
* Add `.copy_from_slice` to copy matrix components from a slice in column-major order.
2018-09-22 21:41:04 +08:00
* Add `.dot` to quaternions.
* Add `.zip_zip_map` for iterating on three matrices simultaneously, and applying a closure to them.
* Add `.slerp` and `.try_slerp` to unit vectors.
2018-10-27 22:39:50 +08:00
* Add `.lerp` to vectors.
2018-09-22 22:04:16 +08:00
* Add `.to_projective` and `.as_projective` to `Perspective3` and `Orthographic3` in order to
use them as `Projective3` structures.
2018-10-13 16:45:42 +08:00
* Add `From/Into` impls to allow the conversion of any transformation type to a matrix.
* Add `Into` impls to convert a matrix slice into an owned matrix.
* Add `Point*::from_slice` to create a point from a slice.
2018-10-30 14:56:47 +08:00
* Add `.map_with_location` to matrices to apply a map which passes the component indices to the user-defined closure alongside
2018-10-13 16:45:42 +08:00
the component itself.
2018-10-28 14:34:42 +08:00
* Add impl `From<Vector>` for `Point` .
* Add impl `From<Vector4>` for `Quaternion` .
* Add impl `From<Vector>` for `Translation` .
2018-11-08 13:47:17 +08:00
* Add the `::from_vec` constructor to construct a matrix from a `Vec` (a `DMatrix` will reuse the original `Vec`
as-is for its storage).
2018-11-23 14:01:45 +08:00
* Add `.to_homogeneous` to square matrices (and with dimensions higher than 1x1). This will increase their number of row
and columns by 1. The new column and row are filled with 0, except for the diagonal element which is set to 1.
* Implement `Extend<Vec>` for matrices with a dynamic storage. The provided `Vec` is assumed to represent a column-major
matrix with the same number of rows as the one being extended. This will effectively append new columns on the right of
the matrix being extended.
* Implement `Extend<Vec>` for vectors with a dynamic storage. This will concatenate the vector with the given `Vec` .
* Implement `Extend<Matrix<...>>` for matrices with dynamic storage. This will concatenate the columns of both matrices.
* Implement `Into<Vec>` for the `MatrixVec` storage.
2018-12-29 20:28:40 +08:00
* Implement `Hash` for all matrices.

### Modified
2018-11-10 20:53:31 +08:00
* The orthographic projection no longer require that `bottom < top` , that `left < right` , and that `znear < zfar` . The
only restriction now ith that they must not be equal (in which case the projection would be singular).
2018-10-24 02:47:42 +08:00
* The `Point::from_coordinates` methods is deprecated. Use `Point::from` instead.
2018-10-30 14:58:19 +08:00
* The `.transform_point` and `.transform_vector` methods are now inherent methods for matrices so that the user does not have to
2018-10-30 14:56:47 +08:00
explicitly import the `Transform` trait from the alga crate.
2018-12-29 20:28:40 +08:00
* Renamed the matrix storage types: `MatrixArray` -> `ArrayStorage` and `MatrixVec` -> `VecStorage` .
* Renamed `.unwrap()` to `.into_inner()` for geometric types that wrap another type.
This is for the case of `Unit` , `Transform` , `Orthographic3` , `Perspective3` , `Rotation` .
* Deprecate several functions at the root of the crate (replaced by methods).
2018-09-13 11:45:14 +08:00
### Removed
* Remove the `Deref` impl for `MatrixVec` as it could cause hard-to-understand compilation errors.
2018-12-29 20:28:40 +08:00
### nalgebra-glm
* Add several alternative projection computations, e.g., `ortho_lh` , `ortho_lh_no` , `perspective_lh` , etc.

2018-07-04 10:06:03 +08:00
## Modified
2018-07-20 22:35:57 +08:00
* Adjust `UnitQuaternion` s, `Rotation3` s, and `Rotation2` s generated from the `Standard` distribution to be uniformly distributed.
2018-05-27 18:25:58 +08:00
### Added
2018-07-20 22:35:57 +08:00
* Add a feature `stdweb` to activate the dependency feature `rand/stdweb` .
* Add blas-like methods `.imin()` and `.imax()` that return the index of the minimum and maximum entry of a vector.
2018-05-27 18:25:58 +08:00
* Add construction of a `Point` from an array by implementing the `From` trait.
2018-07-04 10:06:03 +08:00

2018-05-27 18:25:58 +08:00
2018-05-27 04:24:27 +08:00
## [0.15.0]
2018-05-19 23:15:15 +08:00
The most notable change of this release is the support for using part of the library without the rust standard
2019-06-12 02:56:50 +08:00
library (i.e. it supports `#![no_std]` ). See the corresponding [documentation ](https://nalgebra.org/wasm_and_embedded_programming/ ).
2018-03-09 00:30:59 +08:00
### Modified
2018-05-19 23:15:15 +08:00
* Rename the `core` module to `base` to avoid conflicts with the `core` crate implicitly imported when
`#![no_std]` is enabled.
2018-04-27 13:55:06 +08:00
* Constructors of the `MatrixSlice*` types have been renamed from `new_*` to `from_slice_*` . This was
necessary to avoid the `incoherent_fundamental_impls` lint that is going to become a hard error.
2018-03-09 00:30:59 +08:00
### Added
2018-05-03 18:06:11 +08:00
* Add `UnitQuaternion` constructor `::new_eps(...)` and `::from_scaled_axis_eps(...)` that return the
identity if the magnitude of the input axisangle is smaller than the epsilon provided.

* Add methods `.rotation_between_axis(...)` and `.scaled_rotation_between_axis(...)` to `UnitComplex`
to compute the rotation matrix between two 2D **unit** vectors.

2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
unit rotation axis, and the rotation angle simultaneously.
2018-05-17 21:03:31 +08:00

2018-02-03 19:12:20 +08:00
the quadratic forms `self = alpha * A.transpose() * B * A + beta * self` and
`alpha * A * B * A.transpose() + beta * self` . Here, `A, B` are matrices with
`B` square, and `alpha, beta` are reals.
2018-02-03 19:21:32 +08:00
* Add blas-like operations: `.gemv_tr(...)` that behaves like `.gemv` except that the
2018-02-03 19:12:20 +08:00
provided matrix is assumed to be transposed.
* Add blas-like operations: `cmpy, cdpy` for component-wise multiplications and
division with scalar factors:
- `self <- alpha * self + beta * a * b`
2018-02-03 22:25:04 +08:00
- `self <- alpha * self + beta * a / b`
2018-02-03 19:12:20 +08:00
* `.cross_matrix()` returns the cross-product matrix of a given 3D vector, i.e.,
the matrix `M` such that for all vector `v` we have
`M * v == self.cross(&v)` .
* `.iamin()` that returns the index of the vector entry with
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
the smallest absolute value.
2017-10-11 04:12:07 +08:00
* The `mint` feature that can be enabled in order to allow conversions from
and to types of the [mint ](https://crates.io/crates/mint ) crate.
2018-02-03 19:12:20 +08:00
* Aliases for matrix and vector slices. Their are named by adding `Slice`
before the dimension numbers, i.e., a 3x5 matrix slice with dimensions known
at compile-time is called `MatrixSlice3x5` . A vector slice with dimensions
unknown at compile-time is called `DVectorSlice` .
2018-02-03 19:21:32 +08:00
* Add functions for constructing matrix slices from a slice `&[N]` , e.g.,
`MatrixSlice2::new(...)` and `MatrixSlice2::new_with_strides(...)` .
2018-02-02 19:26:16 +08:00
* The `::repeat(...)` constructor that is an alternative name to
`::from_element(...)` .
2018-02-03 19:21:32 +08:00
* `UnitQuaternion::scaled_rotation_between_axis(...)` and
`UnitQuaternion::rotation_between_axis(...)` that take Unit vectors instead of
2018-02-02 19:26:25 +08:00
Vector as arguments.
2017-10-11 04:12:07 +08:00
2017-08-03 01:37:44 +08:00
## [0.13.0]
2017-08-14 01:53:04 +08:00
The **nalgebra-lapack** crate has been updated. This now includes a broad range
matrix decompositions using LAPACK bindings.
2017-08-16 01:49:39 +08:00
This adds support for serialization using the
[abomonation ](https://crates.io/crates/abomonation ) crate.
2017-08-14 01:52:55 +08:00
### Breaking semantic change
* The implementation of slicing with steps now matches the documentation.
Before, step identified the number to add to pass from one column/row index
to the next one. This made 0 step invalid. Now (and on the documentation so
far), the step is the number of ignored row/columns between each
row/column. Thus, a step of 0 means that no row/column is ignored. For
example, a step of, say, 3 on previous versions should now bet set to 2.
2017-08-03 01:37:44 +08:00
### Modified
2018-09-26 17:40:04 +08:00
* The trait `Axpy` has been replaced by a method `.axpy` .
2017-08-03 01:37:44 +08:00
* The alias `MatrixNM` is now deprecated. Use `MatrixMN` instead (we
reordered M and N to be in alphabetical order).
2017-08-14 01:53:04 +08:00
* In-place componentwise multiplication and division
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
`.component_mul_mut(...)` and `.component_div_mut(...)` have been deprecated
2017-08-14 01:53:04 +08:00
for a future renaming. Use `.component_mul_assign(...)` and
`.component_div_assign(...)` instead.
2017-08-03 01:37:44 +08:00
2017-05-04 04:27:05 +08:00

## [0.11.0]
2019-06-12 02:56:50 +08:00
The [website ](https://nalgebra.org ) has been fully rewritten and gives a good
2017-02-15 01:49:25 +08:00
overview of all the added/modified features.
This version is a major rewrite of the library. Major changes are:
* Algebraic traits are now defined by the [alga ](https://crates.io/crates/alga ) crate.
2017-02-16 05:04:34 +08:00
All other mathematical traits, except `Axpy` have been removed from
**nalgebra** .
2017-02-15 01:49:25 +08:00
* Methods are now preferred to free functions because they do not require any
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
trait to be used anymore.
2017-02-15 01:49:25 +08:00
* Most algebraic entities can be parametrized by type-level integers
to specify their dimensions. Using `Dynamic` instead of a type-level
integer indicates that the dimension known at run-time only.
* Statically-sized **rectangular** matrices.
* More transformation types have been added: unit-sized complex numbers (for
2D rotations), affine/projective/general transformations with `Affine2/3` ,
`Projective2/3` , and `Transform2/3` .
2017-02-16 05:04:34 +08:00
* Serde serialization is now supported instead of `rustc_serialize` . Enable
it with the `serde-serialize` feature.
2017-02-15 01:49:25 +08:00
* Matrix **slices** are now implemented.
### Added
Lots of features including rectangular matrices, slices, and Serde
2019-06-12 02:56:50 +08:00
serialization. Refer to the brand new [website ](https://nalgebra.org ) for more
2017-02-15 01:49:25 +08:00
details. The following free-functions have been added as well:
2019-06-12 02:56:50 +08:00
* `::id()` that returns the universal [identity element ](https://nalgebra.org/performance_tricks/#the-id-type )
2017-02-15 01:49:25 +08:00
of type `Id` .
* `::inf_sup()` that returns both the infimum and supremum of a value at the
same time.
* `::partial_sort2()` that attempts to sort two values in increasing order.
* `::wrap()` that moves a value to the given interval by adding or removing
the interval width to it.
### Modified
* `::cast` -> `::convert`
* `point.as_vector()` -> `point.coords`
* `na::origin` -> `P::origin()`
* `na::is_zero` -> `.is_zero()` (from num::Zero)
* `.transform` -> `.transform_point` /`.transform_vector`
* `.translate` -> `.translate_point`
* `::dimension::<P>` -> `::dimension::<P::Vector>`
* `::angle_between` -> `::angle`
2018-05-27 04:24:27 +08:00
Componentwise multiplication and division has been replaced by methods:
2017-02-27 03:33:22 +08:00
* multiplication -> `.componentwise_mul` , `.componentwise_mul_mut` .
* division -> `.componentwise_div` , `.componentwise_div_mut` .
2017-02-15 01:49:25 +08:00
The following free-functions are now replaced by methods (with the same names)
only:
`::cross` , `::cholesky` , `::determinant` , `::diagonal` , `::eigen_qr` (becomes
`.eig` ), `::hessenberg` , `::qr` , `::to_homogeneous` , `::to_rotation_matrix` ,
`::transpose` , `::shape` .
The following free-functions are now replaced by static methods only:
* `::householder_matrix` under the name `::new_householder_generic`
* `::identity`
* `::new_identity` under the name `::identity`
* `::from_homogeneous`
* `::repeat` under the name `::from_element`
The following free-function are now replaced methods accessible through traits
only:
* `::transform` -> methods `.transform_point` and `.transform_vector` of the `alga::linear::Transformation` trait.
* `::inverse_transform` -> methods `.inverse_transform_point` and
`.inverse_transform_vector` of the `alga::linear::ProjectiveTransformation`
trait.
* `::translate` , `::inverse_translate` , `::rotate` , `::inverse_rotate` ->
methods from the `alga::linear::Similarity` trait instead. Those have the
same names but end with `_point` or `_vector` , e.g., `.translate_point` and
`.translate_vector` .
* `::orthonormal_subspace_basis` -> method with the same name from
`alga::linear::FiniteDimInnerSpace` .
* `::canonical_basis_element` and `::canonical_basis` -> methods with the
same names from `alga::linear::FiniteDimVectorSpace` .
* `::rotation_between` -> method with the same name from the
`alga::linear::Rotation` trait.
* `::is_zero` -> method with the same name from `num::Zero` .
### Removed
* The free functions `::prepend_rotation` , `::append_rotation` ,
`::append_rotation_wrt_center` , `::append_rotation_wrt_point` ,
`::append_transformation` , and `::append_translation ` have been removed.
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
Instead, create the rotation or translation object explicitly and use
2017-02-15 01:49:25 +08:00
multiplication to compose it with anything else.
* The free function `::outer` has been removed. Use column-vector ×
row-vector multiplication instead.
* `::approx_eq` , `::approx_eq_eps` have been removed. Use the `relative_eq!`
macro from the [approx ](https://crates.io/crates/approx ) crate instead.
* `::covariance` has been removed. There is no replacement for now.
* `::mean` has been removed. There is no replacement for now.
* `::sample_sphere` has been removed. There is no replacement for now.
* `::cross_matrix` has been removed. There is no replacement for now.
* `::absolute_rotate` has been removed. There is no replacement for now.
* `::rotation` , `::transformation` , `::translation` , `::inverse_rotation` ,
`::inverse_transformation` , `::inverse_translation` have been removed. Use
the appropriate methods/field of each transformation type, e.g.,
`rotation.angle()` and `rotation.axis()` .
2016-08-30 03:16:50 +08:00
## [0.10.0]
### Added
Binary operations are now allowed between references as well. For example
`Vector3<f32> + &Vector3<f32>` is now possible.
### Modified
Removed unused parameters to methods from the `ApproxEq` trait. Those were
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
required before rust 1.0 to help type inference. They are not needed any more
2016-08-30 03:16:50 +08:00
since it now allowed to write for a type `T` that implements `ApproxEq` :
`<T as ApproxEq>::approx_epsilon()` . This replaces the old form:
`ApproxEq::approx_epsilon(None::<T>)` .
2016-08-22 03:43:26 +08:00
## [0.9.0]
2016-08-13 03:46:40 +08:00
### Modified
2016-04-18 14:29:22 +08:00
* Renamed:
- `::from_col_vector` -> `::from_column_vector`
- `::from_col_iter` -> `::from_column_iter`
- `.col_slice` -> `.column_slice`
- `.set_col` -> `.set_column`
- `::canonical_basis_with_dim` -> `::canonical_basis_with_dimension`
2016-04-18 14:39:46 +08:00
- `::from_elem` -> `::from_element`
2016-07-24 02:57:28 +08:00
- `DiagMut` -> `DiagonalMut`
2016-08-16 16:48:41 +08:00
- `UnitQuaternion::new` becomes `UnitQuaternion::from_scaled_axis` or
`UnitQuaternion::from_axisangle` . The new `::new` method now requires a
not-normalized quaternion.
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
Method names starting with `new_with_` now start with `from_` . This is more
2016-08-16 16:48:41 +08:00
idiomatic in Rust.
2016-08-13 03:46:40 +08:00
The `Norm` trait now uses an associated type instead of a type parameter.
Other similar trait changes are to be expected in the future, e.g., for the
`Diagonal` trait.
Methods marked `unsafe` for reasons unrelated to memory safety are no
longer unsafe. Instead, their name end with `_unchecked` . In particular:
2016-08-30 03:38:12 +08:00
* `Rotation3::new_with_matrix` -> `Rotation3::from_matrix_unchecked`
* `PerspectiveMatrix3::new_with_matrix` -> `PerspectiveMatrix3::from_matrix_unchecked`
* `OrthographicMatrix3::new_with_matrix` -> `OrthographicMatrix3::from_matrix_unchecked`
2016-08-13 03:46:40 +08:00
### Added
2016-08-30 03:38:12 +08:00
- A `Unit<T>` type that wraps normalized values. In particular,
`UnitQuaternion<N>` is now an alias for `Unit<Quaternion<N>>` .
- `.ln()` , `.exp()` and `.powf(..)` for quaternions and unit quaternions.
- `::from_parts(...)` to build a quaternion from its scalar and vector
parts.
- The `Norm` trait now has a `try_normalize()` that returns `None` if the
norm is too small.
- The `BaseFloat` and `FloatVector` traits now inherit from `ApproxEq` as
well. It is clear that performing computations with floats requires
approximate equality.

Still WIP: add implementations of abstract algebra traits from the `algebra`
crate for vectors, rotations and points. To enable them, activate the
`abstract_algebra` feature.

## [0.8.0]
2016-08-13 03:46:40 +08:00
### Modified
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
* Almost everything (types, methods, and traits) now use fulls names instead
of abbreviations (e.g. `Vec3` becomes `Vector3` ). Most changes are obvious.
2016-04-17 23:58:17 +08:00
Note however that:
- `::sqnorm` becomes `::norm_squared` .
- `::sqdist` becomes `::distance_squared` .
- `::abs` , `::min` , etc. did not change as this is a common name for
absolute values on, e.g., the libc.
- Dynamically sized structures keep the `D` prefix, e.g., `DMat` becomes
`DMatrix` .
* All files with abbreviated names have been renamed to their full version,
e.g., `vec.rs` becomes `vector.rs` .

## [0.7.0]
### Added
2018-09-24 12:48:42 +08:00
* Added implementation of assignment operators (+=, -=, etc.) for
2016-04-17 19:41:01 +08:00
everything.
### Modified
* Points and vectors are now linked to each other with associated types
2016-04-17 23:26:58 +08:00
(on the PointAsVector trait).

## [0.6.0]
**Announcement:** a users forum has been created for `nalgebra` , `ncollide` , and `nphysics` . See
2019-06-12 02:56:50 +08:00
you [there ](https://users.nphysics.org )!

### Added
2016-04-01 03:46:01 +08:00
* Added a dependency to [generic-array ](https://crates.io/crates/generic-array ). Feature-gated:
requires `features="generic_sizes"` .
2016-04-17 23:26:58 +08:00
* Added statically sized vectors with user-defined sizes: `VectorN` . Feature-gated: requires
2016-04-01 03:46:01 +08:00
`features="generic_sizes"` .
* Added similarity transformations (an uniform scale followed by a rotation followed by a
2016-04-17 23:26:58 +08:00
translation): `Similarity2` , `Similarity3` .
2016-03-25 02:03:52 +08:00
### Removed
2016-04-17 23:26:58 +08:00
* Removed zero-sized elements `Vector0` , `Point0` .
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
* Removed 4-dimensional transformations `Rotation4` and `Isometry4` (which had an implementation too incomplete to be useful).
2016-03-25 02:09:32 +08:00
### Modified
2016-04-01 03:46:01 +08:00
* Vectors are now multipliable with isometries. This will result into a pure rotation (this is how
2021-07-06 05:51:27 +08:00
vectors differ from point semantically: they design directions, so they are not translatable).
2016-04-17 23:26:58 +08:00
* `{Isometry3, Rotation3}::look_at` reimplemented and renamed to `::look_at_rh` and `::look_at_lh` to agree
2016-04-01 03:46:01 +08:00
with the computer graphics community (in particular, the GLM library). Use the `::look_at_rh`
2016-04-01 03:31:01 +08:00
variant to build a view matrix that
may be successfully used with `Persp` and `Ortho` .
2016-04-17 23:26:58 +08:00
* The old `{Isometry3, Rotation3}::look_at` implementations are now called `::new_observer_frame` .
2016-04-01 03:46:01 +08:00
* Rename every `fov` on `Persp` to `fovy` .
2016-04-01 03:31:01 +08:00
* Fixed the perspective and orthographic projection matrices.
