v2.0

A major release, adding almost a couple years of updates and bug fixes since the last release, including any updates related to the second GCfit paper (Dickson et al. 2024).

This should also correspond to the first uploading of the package to PyPI.

What's Changed

• A number of quality-of-life features and bug fixes to improve all plotting functions
• Updates and fixes to pulsar timing data and likelihoods (#201,#215,#216)
• Artpop integration in plotting sampled models (#202)
• Major updates to all documentation (#203)
• Track a number of interesting cluster quantities such as relaxation times and mass-seg. proxies (#184,#196,#208)
• Update the build system (#210)
• Support for latest versions of most dependencies (limepy, SSPtools, dynesty, etc.)
• Many smaller bug fixes
