Initial public release.

What's Changed
* Downloads stanza models earlier by benknoll-umn in https://github.com/nlpie/biomedicus3/pull/117


**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/nlpie/biomedicus3/compare/v3.0.0-rc.3...v3.0.0-rc.4

Various bug fixes (Mainly RTF). Made it easier to programmatically create pipelines and use custom input sources. Better logging messages around configuration.

Breaking change:
The ``biomedicus run`` command argument for the output directory has switched to an option ``-o``. The correct syntax is now

bash
biomedicus run /path_to/input_dir/ -o /path_to/output_dir/


This is because the option is only used in the case of a serializer (default: json) and if the serializer is set to none the option will not be used.

This update contains the following enhancements for BioMedICUS

- Better negation detection via an adapted implementation of parsing-sensitive DEEPEN algorithm.
- Improvements to concept detection and vocabularies updated to UMLS 2020AA.
