v1.6.0

v1.6.0 - 20 September 2024

• Breaking change: outcomes with zero quantities are removed when constructing Die and Deck.
  • Functions and methods relating to zero-quantities are removed: align(), align_range(), Population.has_zero_quantities(), Die.trim(), Die.set_range(), Die.set_outcomes().
  • You can use consecutive() or sorted_union() to get an appropriate superset of sets of outcomes.
• Breaking change: MultisetEvaluator.alignment() is renamed to MultisetEvaluator.extra_outcomes().
  • MultisetEvaluator.range_alignment() is renamed to MultisetEvaluator.consecutive().
  • The Alignment class is no longer public.
• Breaking change: Deck.multiply_counts() and Population.scale_quantities() are replaced/renamed to Population.multiply_quantities() etc.
• Add Deck.sequence() and Die.sequence() method.
• Add Population.pad_to_denominator() method.
• Move zero() and zero_outcome() from Die to Population.
• @ operator now sums left-to-right.
• Remove old compair evaluation.
• min_outcome() and max_outcome() free functions can now be called using a single iterable argument.
• Forward algorithm now has a persistent cache.
• Add skip optimization for single deals with keep tuples.
• Pools now only skip dice, not outcomes. This is a bit slower in some cases but provides more consistent iteration order.
• Add shared evaluator instances for some built-in evaluator for caching.
• Simplify determination of outcome order for multiset evaluations.
• Simplify implementation of generator unbinding.
• Fix extra_args expansion for map_and_time.
