cuda-pathfinder 1.3.5 Release notes#

Released on Feb 23, 2026

Warning

cuda-pathfinder==1.3.5 introduced a short-lived backward-incompatible exception regression in load_nvidia_dynamic_lib() (unsupported library names incorrectly raising ValueError).

This bug was corrected in cuda-pathfinder>=1.4.0, restoring backward-compatible DynamicLibNotFoundError subclass behavior while preserving more specific error signaling.

See Issue #1684 and PR #1688.

Highlights#

  • Add support for loading NVIDIA driver libraries ("cuda", "nvml") via load_nvidia_dynamic_lib(), and reject unsupported library names with ValueError (EDIT: this behavior was a regression and was corrected in cuda-pathfinder>=1.4.0). (PR #1602)

  • Add bitcode library discovery helpers and public API support, including find_bitcode_lib(), locate_bitcode_lib(), and SUPPORTED_BITCODE_LIBS. (PR #1218)
