- Added 2MASS CMD support for *J vs (J-H)*, *H vs (J-H)* and *K vs
(H-K)*.

- Re-wrote isochrones reading module. See :ref:`isochronesload`.
- Added `Gaia (E)DR3 extinction law <https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/edr3-extinction-law>`_.
See :ref:`synth_clusters`.
- Downgrade requirements to ``python=3.10`` to allow running in default Google Colab
- Fixed wrong masses and binary probabilities being assigned to stars with missing
photometric data
- Fixed bug in :class:`likelihood` when two colors were defined
- Move ``z_to_FeH`` argument from :class:`synthetic` to :class:`isochrones`
- Remove ``min_max()`` method from :class:`synthetic`, values are now shown when
instantiating an :class:`isochrones` class
- Allow plotting two colors in :class:`cluster` and :class:`synthetic` plotting modules
