- float32 support - different arg, method="L-BFGS-B" instead of fmin=optimize.fmin_l_bfgs_b - allow keyboard interrupt, save current value - returns untransformed and transformed variables - removes monitor, adds tqdm progress bar

Do we need to deprecate fmin rather than getting rid of it completely right away? This might cause a fair amount of breakage. Thoughts?

Maybe just look for it in kwargs and warn if its there.

I'm happy to re-work this PR either choice on the breakage, but there wasn't really a decision made in #2468...

Checking for fmin in kwargs would work I think. Should it warn and then run?

actually maybe its a bit trickier than I thought. different fmin functions have slightly different APIs. According to its docstring, fmin_bfgs doesnt support a cost function that returns both the value and gradient, while fmin_l_bfgs_b does.

So we don't have to comment on the same API changes twice. |
