Release v1.2 (Mini-release)

This release primarily includes changes needed to support prog_algs v1.1. Specific improvements include:

• Model Vectorization - significantly improves runtime when used in way that requires multiple samples to be simulated simultaneously [Library vectorization and other minor supporting changes.  #143]
• Added support for dynamic step sizes in simulation (using user defined next_time function) [Added Dynamic step size feature #131]
• Created model.apply_limits(state) -> state function to apply model state limits. This enables other methods that externally agitate state (e.g., particle filters) to ensure they remain within bounds).
• Arguments in initialize are now optional for existing models [Make initial output and input optional in initialize #157]
• Updates to simulate_to*
  • First output is now optional for classes where arguments of initialize are optional [Make initial output and input optional in initialize #157]
  • Ability to specify the starting time [Support non-0 start  #145]
• New ThrownObject model used in examples and tests [Decouple Thrown Object from Examples #139]
• Extend SimResult to include features of a list (e.g., index, pop, extend) [extend sim result #150]
• Removed intra-package dependency in examples which prevented some IDEs from executing a few of the examples [Decouple Thrown Object from Examples #139]
• Added additional examples demonstrating prog_models features
• Various Bugfixes

The changes in this release were produced in part by Northrop Grumman under a contributor license agreement. Thank you NGC!
