Change Log since 1.1.7

simuPOP 1.1.18

• Modernize build system: migrate from setup.py to CMake + scikit-build-core (PEP 517 compliant)
• Add multi-platform CI testing (Linux, macOS, Windows)
• Move simuOpt module into the simuPOP package. Use from simuPOP.simuOpt import setOptions instead of from simuOpt import setOptions. The old import path still works but is deprecated.

simuPOP 1.1.14

• #114 Fix compatibility with Python 3.11.

simuPOP 1.1.13

• #114 Allow negative weight of a heterogeneous mating scheme to generate less individuals than calculated.

simuPOP 1.1.12

• #102: Fix compatibility issues with Python 3.11
• #98: Write banner messaged to stderr insted of stdout

• #93: Add function form of selection operators such as maSelect (for MapSelector) and mlSelect (for MlSelector).

simuPOP 1.1.10

• #70: Fix compatibility with Mac OS using libc++ instead of libstdc++.

simuPOP 1.1.9

• #28: Fix a segmentation fault when providing a non-existent VSP index
• #31: Allow operator DiscardIf to accept a probability in addition to True/False
• #35: Add a weightBy parameter to allow HeteroMating to produce offspring subpopulation with weights determined by not only the size of the parental subpopulation, but also by for example number of mating pairs.
• #49: Fix output of loci positions in MS and other formats.
