    Population = create_test_population(),
    Constraint = create_test_constraint(),

    %% Run evolution
    {ok, Result} = population_monitor:evolve(Population, Constraint, #{
        max_generations => 50,
        fitness_goal => [100.0]
    }),

    %% Verify results
    ?assert(Result#result.best_fitness >= [50.0]),
    ?assert(Result#result.generations_run =< 50),
    ?assert(Result#result.total_evaluations > 0).

%% Test XOR learning
xor_learning_test() ->
    %% Create XOR population
    Population = create_xor_population(),

    %% Evolve
    {ok, Result} = population_monitor:evolve(Population, xor_constraint(), #{
        max_generations => 1000,
        fitness_goal => [3.9]  % XOR has max 4.0
    }),

    %% Should solve XOR
    ?assert(Result#result.best_fitness >= [3.5]).

%% Test save and restore
persistence_test() ->
    %% Create and evolve
    Population = create_test_population(),

Release Notes

v1.0.0 Release Notes

macula-tweann v1.0.0 - First Production Release

This release represents a complete refactoring of the DXNN2 codebase into production-ready Erlang code with comprehensive documentation, thorough testing, and modern best practices.

Highlights

• 100% Type Specifications: All exported functions have -spec declarations

Changes from DXNN2

• All cryptic abbreviations renamed to clear, descriptive names
• State records replace parameter lists in process loops
• Structured error handling replaces exit() calls
• Utility modules extracted (selection_utils, perturbation_utils)
• Duplicate code consolidated
• Magic numbers documented and extracted to configuration

Bug Fixes

• Fixed "termiante" typo in cortex.erl (line 65)
• Fixed plasticity perturbation returning original values (neuron.erl line 299)
• Fixed "PARAMTERS" constant name typo (genome_mutator.erl line 26)

Breaking Changes

None - this is the initial production release of macula-tweann.

Known Issues

None at release time.
