SHARPy v1.3

[ngoiz]

We are please to announce the release of SHARPy version 1.3! This version brings new features to the code that are all listed below.

✈️ Enjoy using the new functionalities!

⚠️ Word of warning! Unused/deprecated settings now raise an error when you run your simulation! See PR #148. This was found to be a needed feature to force users to clean up their settings, as conflicts could arise when solvers brought in new settings or dropped old ones. In addition, this means bye bye to simulations not performing as expected because of typos in the setting's name.

❓If you have any questions about this new release, please don't hesitate to visit the Discussion Board.

🗒️ Note: this release had been withheld since before Summer 2021 because of an issue with our previous CI test provider. Now that CI tests are working, we can release 1.3 that had been an RC for long. However, expect a new SHARPy version likely soon with many new features that have been implemented since 1.3RC was born!
