v0.7.0

What's Changed

This is a breaking change, because these interfaces have changed:

• Type (units, duals, autodiff) propagate automatically. Thus, the strip_value function and the type parameter for Box where removed.

• Parallel code that used nthreads() to define output_threaded preallocated vectors might brake, because the number of batches of the mapping function may be different, and must be set by the user or retrieved with nbatches(cl).

• The neighbourlist function was renamed to neighborlist (without the u).

New features

• Automatic generic type propagation
• Control over the number of batches used for parallel computation of cell lists and mapping (independently)
• Added the map_pairwise alias for non-mutating functions.
• Added heuristic determination of the number of parallel batches, to improve performance for large systems.
• Use less memory in parallel runs to compute the cell lists. This improves latency when using many threads (although the performance for small systems may be slightly worse).
• Added particles_per_batch option to the constructor of AuxThreaded, to define the size of the batch.
• Improved the reduction algorithm in neighborlists.
• Use asynchronous spawn for parallelization, reducing issues with non-homogeneous tasks.
• Added docs on how to call it from python using juliacall.
