Unreleased

Massive update

This is the largest update to circumplex so far and forms the basis of the upcoming 0.3 release. A major goal of this work has been to target feature parity and a familiar API for users of the fantastic R circumplex package. The implementation is regression-tested against the R package to ensure equivalent results, and the Python package has been substantially reorganized, expanded, and hardened for public use.

Added

  • A modular package layout with dedicated analysis, core, data, instruments, utils, and visualization modules.
  • Mean-based and correlation-based structural summary workflows with bootstrap-backed inference and richer plotting helpers.
  • Built-in instrument definitions, instrument registration utilities, and tidying helpers for ipsatization, scoring, and normative standardization.
  • Expanded API reference pages, tutorial content, examples, and regression fixtures to improve discoverability and validate parity with the reference R package.
  • Added regression coverage against the R implementation to ensure the Python package produces equivalent results for supported structural summary workflows.

Changed

  • Reoriented the project around feature parity and a similar user experience to the R circumplex package, so core workflows feel familiar to users moving between the two implementations.
  • Refactored the public package around a clearer, more maintainable architecture for analysis, data loading, scoring, and plotting.
  • Updated project infrastructure around uv, tox, zensical, and GitHub Actions to give the project a cleaner release, documentation, and CI story.
  • Refreshed the README, documentation landing page, and documentation navigation to reflect the new package structure and upcoming release scope.

Fixed

  • Aligned package metadata, licensing, docs configuration, and release workflows so published artifacts and hosted documentation follow the same project configuration.
