[MSNoise] MSNoise 1.6 !

[Thomas Lecocq]

Dear users & friends,

More than 2 years after the last major release (MSNoise 1.5) I’m proud 
to announce the new MSNoise 1.6. It is a major release, with a massive 
amount of work since the last one: in GitHub numbers , it’s over 190 
commits and over 4000 lines of code and documentation changed or added!

MSNoise 1.6 introduces a series of new features :

     The workflow has been rewritten to create “job types” per step, 
making it easier for users to reset a jobs before a specific step.
     This and other smaller adaptations to the code allows to run 
MSNoise more efficiently, e.g. on a HPC.
     The components to compute can be defined for “single-station” and 
“cross-station” independently.
     The compute_cc step has been completely rewritten to be much, much 
faster.
     A new db top level command, which among others include dump and 
import commands for handling the tables from the database.
     A new Interaction Examples & Gallery section of the documentation 
in order to demonstrate how users can interact with the MSNoise API, 
e.g. for creating custom plots.

As always, this version has benefited from outputs/ideas/pull 
requests/questions from several users/friends.

Thanks to all for using MSNoise, and please, let us know why/how you use 
it (and please cite it!)!

To date, we found/are aware of 70 publications using MSNoise! That’s the 
best validation of our project ever and it has doubled since last release!!

Thomas
