Technology Updates
==================


* **Format Updates**

HOOPS AI leverages the power of HOOPS Exchange to read and write a wide variety of file formats without needing to license any additional technology.
See our :doc:`/getting_started/file_formats` page for more details.


* **Third-Party Library Updates**

HOOPS AI integrates open-source machine learning architectures to provide state-of-the-art CAD analysis capabilities. 
These models are located in the ``src/hoops_ai/ml/_thirdparty/`` directory and are used under their respective open-source licenses.
See our :doc:`/resources/Acknowledgments` page for more details.

* **Platform Changes**

**HOOPS AI 2025 Preview** only supports Windows Platform.
See our :doc:`/getting_started/supported_platforms` page for more details.

API Changes
===========

No APIs have been changed in **HOOPS AI 2025 Preview**

Documentation Changes
=====================

The HOOPS documentation interface has been changed significantly and includes many quality-of-life improvements to make navigating, finding, and reading information easier than ever before. Here's a list of new features:

* **Sticky header:** The page header, which includes access to search, now stays on the top of the screen at all times.
* **Collapsible table of contents:** Free up additional reading space by clicking the small arrow button on the right edge of the table of contents to collapse it. Clicking the button again will restore the table of contents to its original view.
* **Full-width reading:** Get even more content in a single view by clicking the small double-arrow button in the bottom right of the content area, which expands the layout to fill the entire screen. Click the button again to restore the layout to its original width.
* **Mobile-friendly HOOPSY:** HOOPSY, our AI-powered chat assistant, has been restyled to display properly on all screens - including phones and tablets.


Deprecations
============

The ML architecture described in the :doc:`Machine Learning Model </programming_guide/ml-model>` section of our documentation is currently EXPERIMENTAL and may change in future releases.
