Time to put in a place a final path/countdown through the next PyAF release, expected 2023-07-14

A branch 5.0-Fixes is already in place and will contain the final touches. The CI process is OK.

https://github.com/antoinecarme/pyaf/tree/5.0-Fixes

Only user comments and fixes are welcome and accepted.

No additional/new feature. Early adopters feedback welcome until July.

Versioning Notes :

  1. This version is a major version as in https://semver.org/, like other annual versions (usually released on 20xx-07-14 ;).
  2. It introduces a radical change in the model selection processes (Voting, Model Complexity, MAPE -> MASE by default).
  3. It may not be backwards compatible in some places (reverting to the old behavior may need tweaking options).

Original planning :

  1. Forecasting Models based on Deep Learning Attention Mechanisms => Delayed to PyAF > 7.0
  2. Recurrent tasks : More hardware architectures, forecasting performance measures, benchmarks, bug fixes, docs and optimization/profiling. OK.
  3. User feedback and issues Ok.

Switched to Github Actions CI/CD. Farewell CircleCI !!!

The switch was smooth.
