Nearly a year ago, we released Timefold Solver 1.0 for Java, the first step on our journey to rid the world of wasteful planning. Today, the journey continues as we announce Timefold Solver for Python!

In this first Beta release, we give the Python ecosystem access to Timefold Solver and all of its features. We invite you to try out our new Python quickstarts and let us know what you think. Do you like the APIs? Does it integrate well with your Python projects? How's the performance? We need your feedback!

Timefold Solver for Python will move out of Beta once we've heard back from enough of you. While in Beta, we reserve the right to change APIs and to add or remove functionality based on user feedback. Once we leave Beta, we will provide the same backwards compatibility guarantees as with the Java solver.

And speaking of the Java solver, we haven't forgotten about it either. In this release, we've been mostly fixing bugs and making small tweaks here and there. Going forward, we've got plenty of interesting things in store for the Java and Python solvers, as they will evolve together from now on.

You can also import the Timefold Solver Bom (ai.timefold.solver : timefold-solver-bom : 1.11.0)
to avoid duplicating version numbers when adding other Timefold Solver dependencies later on.
