V7.0

Key updates

• Added FastAPI backend code for GGT (English) and RdP (French) for potential future updates to the endpoints that serve our dashboards
• Update English and French NLP pipeline with a standalone gender predictor script, that does not rely on a Flask server
• Eliminated the dependency on Flask for both the backend APIs and for gender prediction (the research dashboard code base in plotly dash still depends on Flask, but that's included as a sub-dependency within dash, so it should be okay)
• Updated the requirements.txt files throughout the repos to be more current, and more permissive with recent versions of pip (Hopefully less annoying security-related dependabot PRs from this point onward)
• Updated READMEs in all directories to be more current and, hopefully, with more clarity for future developers Added FastAPI backend code for GGT (English) and RdP (French) for potential future potential updates to the endpoints that serve our dashboards
• Remove references to old gender script across various sections of the documentation in this repo
• Bug fix: Fixed issue with nans being calculated on weeks where there were zero male, female and unknown sources
