The biggest update in this release is the addition of the populations submodule (thanks to the request by and collaboration of @andersdot), which streamlines simulating observed populations of stars (see docs). Other minor updates: An update to the Gaia bandpasses from https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.02820 (thanks @segasai) Updated summary.py (used in starfit-summarize) to use BasicStarModel objects. Fixed a bug with .generate() method that would cause it to hang indefinitely if given an out-of-bounds parameter. Enabled pre-packaged priors (e.g., SalpeterPrior, ChabrierPrior, AVPrior) to receive custom bounds. Refactored logging (thanks @dfm) Enabled .generate() to take an all_As keyword argument, which if true creates columns with specific extinctions in each band (to allow, e.g., for de-reddening a simulated population of stars).
