  - **Usage**: Set `NLSQ_SKIP_GPU_CHECK=1` (or "true", "yes") before importing nlsq
  - **Impact**: Prevents stdout pollution in automated pipelines while maintaining helpful warnings for interactive use
  - **Files Modified**: `nlsq/device.py`, `nlsq/__init__.py`
  - **Documentation**: Added to README.md and CLAUDE.md

#### Test Coverage
- **GPU Device Detection Tests**: Added comprehensive test suite for GPU detection module
  - **Coverage**: 100% coverage of `nlsq/device.py` (15 tests)
  - **Test Scenarios**:
    - GPU available with CPU-only JAX (warning display)
    - GPU available with GPU-enabled JAX (silent operation)
    - No GPU hardware (silent operation)
    - nvidia-smi timeout/missing (error handling)
    - JAX not installed (error handling)
    - NLSQ_SKIP_GPU_CHECK environment variable (suppression)
    - GPU name sanitization (security edge cases)
    - Multiple device configurations
  - **Files Added**: `tests/test_device.py`
  - **Impact**: Validates GPU detection behavior across all code paths

### Changed

#### Security & Robustness
- **GPU Name Sanitization**: Added output sanitization for GPU names from nvidia-smi
  - **Implementation**: Truncates GPU names to 100 characters and converts to ASCII
  - **Purpose**: Prevents display issues from special characters, Unicode, or extremely long GPU names
  - **Files Modified**: `nlsq/device.py`
  - **Impact**: More robust handling of edge cases in GPU detection

- **Exception Handler Specificity**: Improved exception handling in GPU detection
  - **Before**: Generic `except Exception:` caught all exceptions
  - **After**: Specific exception types (TimeoutExpired, FileNotFoundError, ImportError, RuntimeError)
  - **Purpose**: Better error handling specificity while maintaining graceful degradation
  - **Files Modified**: `nlsq/device.py`
  - **Impact**: More maintainable exception handling with clearer intent

### Breaking Changes

⚠️ **Import Behavior Change**: GPU detection now runs automatically on `import nlsq`
- **What Changed**: NLSQ now prints a GPU acceleration warning on import if:
  - NVIDIA GPU hardware is detected (via nvidia-smi)
  - JAX is running in CPU-only mode
- **Impact**: Users will see a 363-character warning message on import when GPU is available but not used
- **Who Is Affected**:
  - CI/CD pipelines that parse stdout
  - Automated test frameworks
  - Scripts that expect clean stdout
  - Jupyter notebooks (visual output)
- **Migration**:
  ```bash
  # Suppress warnings in CI/CD
  export NLSQ_SKIP_GPU_CHECK=1
  python script.py
  ```
- **Rationale**: Helps users discover available GPU acceleration for 150-270x speedup
- **Opt-Out**: Set `NLSQ_SKIP_GPU_CHECK=1` to restore previous silent behavior

### Fixed

#### CI/CD Pipeline
- **Platform-Specific Dependency Validation**: Fixed false positive in CI validation check

## [0.1.4] - 2025-10-19

### Fixed

#### Critical Bug Fixes

- **TRF Numerical Accuracy Bug**: Fixed critical bug in Trust Region Reflective algorithm
  - **Issue**: When loss functions are applied, `res.fun` returned scaled residuals instead of unscaled residuals
  - **Impact**: Silent data corruption - users received incorrect residual values affecting scientific conclusions
  - **Root Cause**: Loss functions scale residuals for optimization, but `res.fun` must contain original unscaled values
  - **Solution**: Added `f_true` and `f_true_new` tracking to preserve unscaled residuals throughout optimization
  - **Files Modified**: `nlsq/trf.py` (lines 1011, 1018, 1393, 1396, 1548, 1664)
  - **Test Status**: `test_least_squares.py::TestTRF::test_fun` now passing (was failing)
  - **Severity**: HIGH - affects all users using loss functions with least_squares

- **Parameter Estimation Bug Fixes**: Fixed 5 test failures in automatic p0 estimation
  - **Array Comparison Bug** (lines 149-152): Fixed `p0 != "auto"` failing for NumPy arrays
    - Changed to check `isinstance(p0, str)` before string comparison
    - Prevents `ValueError: truth value of array is ambiguous`
  - **Pattern Detection Reordering** (lines 304-359): Fixed incorrect pattern classification
    - Perfect linear correlation (r > 0.99) now checked first
    - Gaussian and sigmoid patterns checked before monotonic patterns
    - Exponential patterns checked after sigmoid to prevent confusion
    - General linear correlation (r > 0.95) checked last
  - **Sigmoid Detection Logic**: Added inflection point detection using second derivative
    - Distinguishes sigmoid from exponential decay (both are monotonic)
    - More accurate pattern classification
  - **VAR_POSITIONAL Detection** (lines 166-196): Added *args/*kwargs parameter detection
    - Properly handles functions without inspectable signatures
    - Raises informative ValueError for unsupported parameter types
  - **Recursive Call Bug** (lines 485-514): Fixed infinite recursion in fallback
    - Replaced recursive call with direct generic estimation
    - Prevents stack overflow for unknown patterns
  - **Files Modified**: `nlsq/parameter_estimation.py` (lines 149-152, 166-196, 304-359, 485-514)
  - **Test Status**: All 25 parameter estimation tests now passing (5 previously failing)
  - **Severity**: MEDIUM - affects users relying on experimental `p0='auto'` feature

### Technical Details

**Test Results:**
- Tests: 1235/1235 passing (100% success rate)
- Coverage: 80.90% (exceeds 80% target)
- Platforms: Ubuntu ✅ | macOS ✅ | Windows ✅
- Pre-commit: 24/24 hooks passing

**Migration Notes:**
- **TRF Bug Fix**: If you used loss functions with `least_squares()`, `res.fun` values may differ from v0.1.3.post3
  - **v0.1.3.post3 and earlier**: Returned INCORRECT scaled residuals
  - **v0.1.4**: Returns CORRECT unscaled residuals
  - **Action Required**: Re-run analyses that relied on `res.fun` values with loss functions enabled
- **Parameter Estimation**: No breaking changes, only improvements to experimental feature

**Known Limitations:**
- Automatic p0 estimation (`p0='auto'`) remains experimental - explicit p0 recommended for production use

## [0.2.0] - 2025-10-18

### BREAKING CHANGES

This release **completely removes all subsampling code** in favor of streaming optimization for unlimited datasets. This is a **major breaking change** that improves accuracy and simplifies the API.

#### h5py Now Required Dependency

**Before (v0.1.x):**
```bash
pip install nlsq              # h5py optional
pip install nlsq[streaming]   # h5py included (optional extra)
```

**After (v0.2.0):**
```bash
pip install nlsq  # h5py always included (required)
```

**Why**: Streaming optimization (which requires h5py) is now the standard approach for large datasets, ensuring zero accuracy loss compared to subsampling.

**Impact**: Users must have h5py installed. Most users already have it from v0.1.3's `[streaming]` extra or from other scientific packages.

#### Removed Subsampling Configuration

**Removed from `LDMemoryConfig`:**
- `enable_sampling: bool` - No longer supported
- `sampling_threshold: int` - No longer supported
- `max_sampled_size: int` - No longer supported

**Removed from `DatasetStats`:**
- `requires_sampling: bool` - No longer available

**Removed from `DataChunker`:**
- `sample_large_dataset()` method - Completely removed

**Code that will break:**
```python
# ❌ This will raise AttributeError in v0.2.0
config = LDMemoryConfig(
    enable_sampling=True,  # REMOVED
    sampling_threshold=100_000_000,  # REMOVED
    max_sampled_size=10_000_000,  # REMOVED
)
```

**Migration:**
```python
# ✅ Use streaming instead (default behavior)
config = LDMemoryConfig(
    memory_limit_gb=8.0,
    use_streaming=True,  # Default, can omit
    streaming_batch_size=50000,
    streaming_max_epochs=10,
)
```

### Added

- **Streaming Optimization as Default**: All large datasets now use streaming by default
  - Processes **100% of data** without accuracy loss (vs 10-50% with subsampling)
  - Consistent, reproducible results (no random sampling variance)
  - Better convergence (sees all patterns in data)
  - GPU acceleration support for billion-point datasets

- **Migration Documentation**: Created comprehensive `MIGRATION_V0.2.0.md`
  - Step-by-step migration guide from v0.1.x
  - Before/after code examples
  - FAQ section with common issues
  - Performance comparison tables
  - Troubleshooting guide

### Removed

- **Complete Subsampling Code Removal**: ~250 lines of code deleted
  - `DataChunker.sample_large_dataset()` method (69 lines)
  - `LargeDatasetFitter._fit_unlimited_data()` method (91 lines)
  - Sampling-related config parameters (3 attributes)
  - Sampling test suite (24 lines)
  - All sampling logic from memory estimation
  - "sampling" processing strategy (only "single_chunk" and "chunked" remain)

- **Optional h5py Support**: h5py is now always required
  - Removed `try/except ImportError` blocks
  - Removed `HAS_H5PY` conditional checks
  - Removed `[streaming]` optional dependency group
  - Simplified import logic throughout codebase

### Changed

- **Processing Strategy Simplification**: Large datasets now have 2 paths instead of 3
  - **Before**: Single chunk → Chunked → Sampling (3 paths)
  - **After**: Single chunk → Chunked/Streaming (2 paths)
  - Streaming automatically activates for very large datasets when `use_streaming=True`

- **Behavioral Changes**:

| Dataset Size | v0.1.x Behavior | v0.2.0 Behavior |
|--------------|-----------------|-----------------|
| < Memory limit | Single chunk | **Same**: Single chunk |
| > Memory limit | Chunking | **Same**: Chunking |
| >> Memory limit | **Sampling (data loss)** | **Streaming (no data loss)** |

### Performance

**Accuracy Improvements:**
- v0.1.x with sampling: 85-95% accuracy (data loss from subsampling)
- v0.2.0 with streaming: **100% accuracy** (all data processed)

**Speed Comparison (100M points):**
- v0.1.x (CPU, 10% sampling): 2 minutes, 10M points processed
- v0.2.0 (CPU, streaming): 8 minutes, **100M points processed** (no data loss)
- v0.2.0 (GPU, streaming): 30 seconds, **100M points processed** (270x faster than SciPy)

### Migration Guide

See `MIGRATION_V0.2.0.md` for complete migration instructions.

**Quick Migration:**

1. **Update installation:**
   ```bash
   pip install --upgrade nlsq
   ```

2. **Remove sampling config parameters:**
   ```python
   # ❌ Remove these
   config = LDMemoryConfig(
       enable_sampling=True,  # DELETE
       sampling_threshold=...,  # DELETE
       max_sampled_size=...,  # DELETE
   )

   # ✅ Use defaults or configure streaming
   config = LDMemoryConfig(
       memory_limit_gb=8.0,
       use_streaming=True,  # Default
   )
   ```

3. **Update test assertions:**
   ```python
   # ❌ Remove these checks
   if stats.requires_sampling:
       ...

   # ✅ Check chunking instead
   if stats.n_chunks > 1:
       ...
   ```

4. **Replace manual subsampling:**
   ```python
   # ❌ Old approach
   x_sample, y_sample = DataChunker.sample_large_dataset(x, y, target_size=1_000_000)

   # ✅ New approach - process all data
   fitter = LargeDatasetFitter(memory_limit_gb=8.0)
   result = fitter.fit(model_func, x, y)
   ```

**Estimated Migration Time**: 10-30 minutes for most projects

### Deprecations

- **None**: This is a clean break. Removed features are completely deleted, not deprecated.

### Notes

- If you cannot upgrade yet, stay on v0.1.3 (which has optional h5py)
- v0.1.x will not receive further updates (v0.2.0 is recommended)
- For issues during migration, see `MIGRATION_V0.2.0.md` or open a GitHub issue

### Migration Notes

#### From v0.1.0 to v0.1.1

**Enhanced Return Type**:
```python
# Old way (still works)
popt, pcov = curve_fit(f, x, y)

# New way (recommended)
result = curve_fit(f, x, y)
print(f"R² = {result.r_squared:.4f}")
result.plot()
result.summary()

# Tuple unpacking still works
popt, pcov = result
```

**New Features (opt-in)**:
```python
# Automatic features
result = curve_fit(
    f,
    x,
    y,
    auto_bounds=True,  # Smart parameter bounds
    stability="auto",  # Auto-fix stability issues
    fallback=True,  # Retry on failure
    callback=ProgressBar(),  # Monitor progress
)
```

**Function Library**:
```python
from nlsq.functions import exponential_decay

# Functions come with smart defaults
result = curve_fit(exponential_decay, x, y)  # No p0 needed!
```
