v1.8.0

Bug fixes and implementation of independent head_direction variable for the Agent class which (by default) is a smoothed version of the velocity vector. The head direction is what is used by HeadDirectionCells and BoundaryVectorCells (egocentric) etc. to determine firing rate and smoothing can aid stability of processes which rely heavily on these classes.
