``cuda-pathfinder`` 1.3.4 Release notes
=======================================

Released on Feb 11, 2026

Highlights
----------

* Add support for locating CUDA binary utilities (e.g. ``nvcc``, ``nvdisasm``, etc.).
  (`PR #1528 <https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/pull/1528>`_)

* Introduce ``locate_nvidia_header_directory()`` and ``LocatedHeaderDir`` to
  report the header discovery method. This is an alternative API to
  the existing ``find_nvidia_header_directory()`` API that only returns the
  absolute path to the discovered header directory.
  (`PR #1536 <https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/pull/1536>`_)

* Honor ``site.ENABLE_USER_SITE`` before adding the user site-packages path
  to search locations.
  (`PR #1596 <https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/pull/1596>`_)
