No contact phase planning, just straightforward, "simple" optimisation under complementarity constraints 😁

The old Boost.Python bindings will remain for a while as we transition the rest of our stack (yes, including Pinocchio!) to nanobind this year.

Very happy to announce that our collision algorithms library Coal (formerly HPP-FCL) now supports @wjakob.bsky.social's nanobind for its Python bindings! 😀

The new bindings will be available in package managers in the next release.

Introduce next-generation Python bindings using `nanobind` by ManifoldFR · Pull Request #659 · coal-library/coal

This (draft) pull request adds a second set of Python bindings using the modern nanobind bindings generator. The new nanobind-based API can be imported as a replacement for the old one by importing...
