ikpy - v3.3.4
Add a new optimizer parameter in Chain.inverse_kinematics to select the optimizer to use:
The optimizer to use. Choices:
* "least_squares": Use scipy.optimize.least_squares (the default)
* "scalar": Use scipy.optimize.minimize (the default prior to IKPy 3.3)

ikpy - v3.2 - Prismatic joints
Add full support for prismatic joints
- type="prismatic" in URDF
- forward kinematics
- bounds
- prismatic joints axes are plotted in dotted lines, where revolute joints are plotted in solid lines
Fixes #96 Fixes #104
Ex on URDF provided by https://github.com/AhmetMericOzcan. The prismatic joint is the dotted one:

When sliding the prismatic joint, we see it moving:

Additional features
- Support for arbitrary joint types in the URDF
- Fixed a bug in URDF parsing where
fixedjoints could be considered as revolute - Support for customizable optimization algorithms. Fixes #108
Thanks to https://github.com/Klausstaler and https://github.com/AhmetMericOzcan for the support and resources!
