v0.30.0

What's Changed

• Replaced specifying a global AD backend with ADTypes.jl. Users should now specify the desired ADType directly in sampler constructors, e.g., HMC(0.1, 10; adtype=AutoForwardDiff(; chunksize)), or HMC(0.1, 10; adtype=AutoReverseDiff(false)) (false indicates not to use compiled tape).
• Interface functions such as ADBackend, setadbackend, setadsafe, setchunksize, and setrdcache are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
• Removed the outdated verifygrad function.
• Updated to a newer version of LogDensityProblemsAD (v1.7).

New Contributors

• @sunxd3 made their first contribution in #2134
