This new release of sciki-rf brings many new features and improvements, in particular concerning Vector Fitting models, the MDIF files support, a new class of VNA supported (R&S ZVA) and additional performance improvements for Circuit. Several bugs have been fixed and the documentation updated.
Many thanks to all the contributors!
