| 3 | +This page is the source of truth for quantflow release notes. Each section |
| 4 | +below maps to a tagged release on |
| 5 | +[GitHub](https://github.com/quantmind/quantflow/releases). When a new tag is |
| 6 | +pushed, the matching section is extracted by |
| 7 | +`.github/workflows/release.yml` and published as the GitHub Release body. |

| 9 | +## v0.8.0 |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Volatility-surface calibration overhaul. This release adds a two-factor BNS |
| 12 | +model, a double-Heston model (with optional jumps), Lewis and COS pricing |
| 13 | +methods, and reworks the calibration package layout. Several module renames |
| 14 | +and signature changes were made along the way: see **Breaking changes** below. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +### Breaking changes |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +**Module renames.** |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +- `quantflow.sp.weiner` is now `quantflow.sp.wiener` (typo fix). Update |
| 21 | + imports. |
| 22 | +- `quantflow.options.calibration` is now a package, not a single module. |
| 23 | + Top-level imports keep working through the package `__init__.py` |
| 24 | + re-exports. Code reaching into the old `quantflow.options.heston_calibration` |
| 25 | + must switch to `quantflow.options.calibration.heston`. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +**`ModelOptionPrice` field rename.** (#47) |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +- `ModelOptionPrice.moneyness` previously meant `log(K/F)`. It now means |
| 30 | + standardised moneyness `log(K/F) / sqrt(ttm)`, and the raw log-strike is |
| 31 | + exposed as a new field `log_strike`. Code reading `option.moneyness` and |
| 32 | + expecting a log-strike must switch to `option.log_strike`. |
| 33 | +- `get_intrinsic_value(moneyness=...)` argument renamed to `log_strike=...`. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### New features |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +- **`BNS2`**: two-factor Barndorff-Nielsen & Shephard stochastic-volatility |
| 38 | + model with a single Brownian motion driving a convex combination of |
| 39 | + independent Gamma-OU variances and per-factor leverage. New section in the |
| 40 | + BNS calibration tutorial. (#54) |
| 41 | +- **`DoubleHeston` and `DoubleHestonJ`**: two-factor Heston (with optional |
| 42 | + log-price jumps) and matching `DoubleHestonCalibration` / |
| 43 | + `DoubleHestonJCalibration`. (#46) |
| 44 | +- **Lewis and COS option-pricing methods**: selectable via |
| 45 | + `OptionPricingMethod`, alongside the existing Carr-Madan / FFT path. (#47) |
| 46 | +- **CIR tutorial** with PDF comparison example. (#49) |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +### Improvements and fixes |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +- Heston calibration convergence fixes. (#45, #49) |
| 51 | +- BNS calibration: dedicated `BNSCalibration` class extracted, characteristic |
| 52 | + exponent derivation cleaned up, broader test coverage. (#50, #51) |
| 53 | +- OU module reworked: clearer Gamma-OU API, stronger tests for moments and |
| 54 | + the integrated Laplace transform. (#51) |
| 55 | +- `pricing_method_comparison` example simplified; redundant time-comparison |
| 56 | + code removed. (#48) |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### Documentation and assets |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +- New logo set (favicon, lockup, marks, social banners) under |
| 61 | + `docs/assets/logos/`. (#53) |
| 62 | +- New `docs/mcp.md` page covering the MCP server. |
| 63 | +- Bibliography rebuilt from BibTeX via `docs/bib2md.py`; glossary expanded; |
| 64 | + mathjax tweaks for inline rendering. (#47, #49) |
| 65 | +- Tutorial-writing instructions added at |
| 66 | + `.github/instructions/tutorial.instructions.md`. |
