Changelog

3.1.0 (unreleased)

• Added CMake option kep3_BUILD_CPP_LIBRARY (default ON). When set to OFF, the C++ library is not built from source and CMake will instead locate an existing installation via find_package. A descriptive FATAL_ERROR is emitted if the library cannot be found. This makes it possible to build only the Python bindings, tests, or benchmarks against an already-installed kep3.

3.0.0 (23-05-2026)

pykep 3 is a complete reimagination of the library: a new C++23 core, a clean pybind11 Python interface, type-erased user-defined abstractions (udpla, udp, uda), native integration with pagmo and heyoka, and an expanded set of low-thrust transcriptions and benchmark problems.
