Regarding the major bump, it's just to stop people from complaining about it breaking people's code as I'm sure it will impact everyone downstream. People should never blindly pull/install stuff...

Okay I think we have agreed on `DVConstraints` -> `GeoConstraints`. I guess we are using CamelCase for class names? As for the parameterizations, the two proposals currently are: - `GeoParamXXX`...

pyGeo is primarily (I think AFAIK only) used for generating wing surfaces. I kind of prefer `SurfaceEngine` but then we lose the nice consistency with `XCollection`, so I'm a bit...

> The docker images are based on the latest versions so changes just appear there without a user directly pulling from `pyGeo`. So scripts that need to work with the...

I think this is probably worthwhile bringing up for discussion, and if everyone is on board we should absolutely make this consistent _and documented_.

FWIW, there is another MPI testing tool out there called [`testflo`](https://github.com/OpenMDAO/testflo/), which only supports `unittest` unfortunately. But it does spawn MPI processes itself (so each test is using the specified...

Yeah I agree with everything you said there @aragilar. Unfortunately I'm also quite busy these days, but I'll keep this repo in mind and perhaps contribute code in the future....

@BilalAnwar165 please do not randomly tag people, some of whom do not work on the project. This is spam will in no way get your issue resolved any faster. As...

> @ewu63 Question for you on this - does pyOptSparse add any measurable advantage over just using SciPy minimize for SLSQP? If the end result is using a dense Jacobean...

FWIW, there is yet another _new_ SLSQP package from Prof. Hwang's group: [repo](https://github.com/anugrahjo/PySLSQP) and [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.13420). If they are able to commit to long-term maintenance of this package, it may be...
