The main objective of this release to provide binary wheels. For compatibility reasons, we need to stick to basic SSE2 instructions. However, when the Python library is being imported, it prints a message suggesting that a more efficient version can be installed from sources (and tells how to do this).
Furthermore, this release removes a lot of old code, which speeds up compilation by 70%:
1) Non-performing methods
2) Double-indices
This is a step towards more lightweight NMSLIB library.
