Release notes for autoray.

v0.8.11 (2026-06-08)

Enhancements:

• Added initial MLX backend support including random.default_rng, dtype-aware creation wrappers, to_numpy, count_nonzero, ravel, and linalg.svd support.

• Added infer_backend_device_dtype for shared backend, device, and dtype inference from like values.

• Exported DoFunc for reusable call-time auto-dispatch, with faster do and get_namespace dispatch paths.

• Refreshed package metadata, pixi environments, docs infrastructure, and CI, including the testmlx environment and MLX CI job.

• Reworked backend tests around the unified XFAILS registry and expanded linear algebra coverage.

Bug Fixes:

• Cached failed .device and .dtype probes in get_namespace to avoid repeated slow exceptions for array classes such as JAX tracers (PR #30).

• Fixed autojit with lazy lazy_astype dtype evaluation.

• Added TensorFlow astype handling and a NumPy-like Torch nonzero wrapper.

• Fixed reduced and batched SVD shape handling in svd_manual_full_matrices_kwarg.

• Fixed prime_factors to preserve integer factors.
