CTParser v0.8.0

Diff since v0.7.2

CTParser v0.8.0

Highlights

• New @init macro for initial guesses – Introduced an initialisation DSL implemented in src/initial_guess.jl to build backend-specific initial guesses from compact specifications, with support for time-dependent functions, time grids and constants.
• Configurable initial-guess backend – Added init_prefix() / init_prefix!() in src/initial_guess.jl so that @init can target custom backends (default :CTModels), mirroring the backend customisation already available for @def.
• Compat bump to CTBase 0.17 and CTModels 0.7 – Updated compat bounds in Project.toml, docs/Project.toml and test/Project.toml to align CTParser with the latest control-toolbox ecosystem.
• Expanded documentation for CTParser’s role and DSLs – Reworked the main landing page in docs/src/index.md to describe the @def and @init macros, backend prefixes and the separation between parsing, model building and initial-guess construction.
• Extended test coverage for parsing and initialisation – Added several new test files in test/ covering the @init DSL, backend prefixes and one-pass parsing paths (e.g. test_initial_guess.jl, test_onepass_exa_bis.jl, test_onepass_fun_bis.jl, test_prefix_bis.jl, test_utils_bis.jl).

Breaking Changes / Compatibility Notes

• Dependency updates
  • CTBase compat raised from 0.16 to 0.17 in Project.toml and test/Project.toml.
  • CTModels compat raised from 0.6 to 0.7 in test/Project.toml.
  • NLPModels compat set to 0.21 in test/Project.toml.
  • OrderedCollections compat relaxed from "1.8" to "1" in Project.toml, and added as an explicit test dependency with compat "1.8".
  • Documentation environment now depends on CTBase 0.17, Documenter 1, Markdown and MarkdownAST in docs/Project.toml.
• Julia version
  • Package compat remains julia = "1.10" in Project.toml; the test environment now also declares julia = "1.10" in test/Project.toml.
• API changes
  • No breaking removals or renames detected. The new @init macro and the init_prefix/init_prefix! functions are additive and coexist with the existing @def-based workflow.
• Behaviour changes
  • @init now routes initial-guess construction through the backend selected by init_prefix() (default :CTModels). Custom backends must implement build_initial_guess(ocp, spec) and validate_initial_guess(ocp, ig) with the expected semantics.

New Features

• Added the @init macro in src/initial_guess.jl to build backend-specific initial guesses from a compact DSL over an optimal control problem ocp defined with @def.
• Introduced init_prefix() and init_prefix!() in src/initial_guess.jl to control which backend module (default :CTModels) interprets the NamedTuple produced by @init.
• Added optional logging support to @init (log = true) to print a human-readable, NamedTuple-like summary of the initialisation specification, which can aid debugging of complex initial guesses.

Enhancements

• Clarified and documented the default backend settings in src/defaults.jl, including parsing backend, ExaModels scheme/grid size, base scalar type and backend prefixes for both functional and ExaModels modes.
• Improved error-reporting utilities in src/onepass.jl and src/initial_guess.jl by consistently using CTBase.ParsingError via the configured error-handling prefix and wrapping generated code with __wrap for better line information.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed documentation build issues with newer Documenter and CTBase versions by declaring explicit dependencies and compat entries in docs/Project.toml.
• Updated tests to work with the new compat ranges for CTBase, CTModels and NLPModels, resolving failures when running the full control-toolbox test suite.

Documentation

• Expanded the main documentation page in docs/src/index.md to describe CTParser’s role in the control-toolbox ecosystem and how it interfaces with CTModels.jl, ExaModels.jl and other packages.
• Documented the @def macro, its functional and ExaModels backends, and how backend prefixes can be customised from user code.
• Added user-facing documentation for the new @init macro, including examples that highlight the need to qualify private functions with their module (e.g. CTParser.private_fun(x)), and how @init delegates to backend-specific build_initial_guess / validate_initial_guess implementations.

Tests

• Added test/test_initial_guess.jl to exercise the @init DSL, alias handling, time grids, time-dependent functions and backend delegation.
• Added test/test_onepass_exa_bis.jl and test/test_onepass_fun_bis.jl to further stress the one-pass parser on both ExaModels and functional backends.
• Added test/test_prefix_bis.jl and test/test_utils_bis.jl to cover backend prefix setters and various parsing utilities.

Internal

• Removed the obsolete docs/src/dev.md page and cleaned up references to it in the documentation build.
• Dropped the old reports/ directory from version control and added it to .gitignore, while still using it as a convenient local location for generated artefacts such as release notes.
• Applied JuliaFormatter.jl across the codebase (#171), and recorded the formatter configuration in formatter.lock.
• Updated CI to use actions/checkout@v6 in UpdateReadme.yml (#176).
• Collected compat and testing updates (including the new @init DSL and extended tests) under dedicated pull requests such as #183 and #186.
