GAMA 22.0.0

What's Changed

Bugfixes:

• #137: raise an output if output_directory is non-empty.
• #174: Fix an issue where GAMA might freeze in when ending search.

Features:

• ASHA resources can now also be specified as fraction of the dataset size by using a float in (0, 1].

Changes:

• #138: Instead of subsampling the whole dataset before doing CV, the same test set is used across rungs and only
  the training folds are subsampled. This makes performance comparable across rungs.
• AsyncEA will try to delay creating new individuals as long as possible.
• AsyncEA will no longer create offspring from pipelines with failed evaluations (e.g., timeout, invalid configuration).

Maintenance:

• Adopt NEP 29:
  • Drop support for Python 3.6 and 3.7
  • Add support for Python 3.10
• Use pyproject.toml instead of setup.py
• Transition to Github CI, including:
  • pytest on pull request
  • pytest CRON job with prerelease versions
  • doc build and deploy
  • pre-commit check
  • check for changelog
  • easy release to pypi from github workflow
• Small changes to avoid FutureWarnings and/or DeprecationWarnings.
