MIT-SPARK/KISS-Matcher

📋 What changed

• \`kiss_matcher.__version__\` is now derived from the installed package
• metadata (\`importlib.metadata.version(\"kiss_matcher\")\`) instead of a
• hardcoded string. v1.0.0 and v1.0.1 both reported \`__version__ == \"1.0.0\"\`
• at runtime regardless of the actual installed version; v1.0.2 fixes that
• drift and any future bump is reflected automatically.

📋 No API changes

• Same wheels, same coverage as v1.0.1.

📋 What changed

• \`viser\` moved from required dependencies to the \`[viz]\` extra.
• Default \`pip install kiss-matcher\` no longer pulls in trimesh, scipy,
• networkx, shapely, embreex, jsonschema, httpx, and ~20 other transitive
• packages. Install with the visualization extra when needed:
• \`pip install kiss-matcher[viz]\`.
• New self-contained quickstart at \`python/examples/quickstart.py\` that
• works with no external data and no viser. Generates a synthetic point
• cloud, applies a known rigid transform, and verifies KISS-Matcher

📋 No API changes

• The Python API (\`KISSMatcher\`, \`KISSMatcherConfig\`, \`RegistrationSolution\`)
• is identical to v1.0.0; this release is purely a packaging slim-down.

📦 Same platform coverage

• Wheels for Linux \`manylinux_2_28+\` x86_64 and macOS arm64 (macOS 14+),
• Python 3.8 through 3.12. Source distribution available for everything else.

📦 Install

• \`\`\`bash
• pip install kiss-matcher
• \`\`\`
• Wheels are published for:
• Linux \`manylinux_2_28+\` x86_64 (works on any Linux with glibc ≥ 2.28: Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, RHEL 9+, etc.)
• macOS arm64 (macOS 14+, Apple Silicon)
• Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12
• Each wheel ships its own copy of oneTBB, OpenMP, lz4, and flann — no system installation needed.

📦 What's bundled

• KISS-Matcher core (FasterPFH + ROBINMatching + GncSolver pipeline)
• ROBIN [v.1.2.7](https://github.com/MIT-SPARK/ROBIN/releases/tag/v.1.2.7) (with [MIT-SPARK/pmc](https://github.com/MIT-SPARK/pmc) fork pinned for upcoming Windows MSVC support)
• oneTBB 2022, Eigen 3, lz4, flann

📦 Quickstart

• \`\`\`python
• import kiss_matcher as km
• import numpy as np
• config = km.KISSMatcherConfig(voxel_size=0.3)
• matcher = km.KISSMatcher(config)
• src = np.random.rand(1000, 3).astype(np.float32)
• tgt = np.random.rand(1000, 3).astype(np.float32)
• solution = matcher.estimate(src, tgt)
• + 1 more

📦 Notes

• Windows wheels are not yet available; ROBIN's \`src/pkc.cpp\` uses GCC builtin atomics and \`size_t\` OpenMP \`for\` indices that MSVC's OpenMP 2.0 rejects. Patch coming in a follow-up release.
• Source distribution is also published, so \`pip install --no-binary :all: kiss-matcher\` works on any POSIX system with the build dependencies.
