Release Notes - rustworkx 0.17.1

Friends who have been grinding algorithms and working on graph-related projects may have deeply experienced this: Python makes writing graph structures simple, but the performance... well, it is what it is.

NetworkX is too slow for production use, and C/C++ requires dealing with compilation toolchains. How great would it be if there was a graph theory library that could be elegantly called within Python while having native performance?

Today, I'm excited to recommend a black technology to everyone - rustworkx, a Python graph algorithm acceleration artifact!
