New Features
- Make `SampleSet.relabel_variables()` non-blocking in all cases. Previously it would block when `inplace=False`.
- Implement `SampleSet` serialization schema version 3.2.0.
Version 3.2.0 replaces `float` values that represent integers with `int` in the `"data"` field of any arrays returned by `SampleSet.to_serializable()`. In some pathological cases this can result in a much smaller representation when the data dictionaries are json-serialized by avoiding the redundant `.0` appended to every value.
This is a backwards-compatible change.
- Add `penalization_method` parameter to `BinaryQuadraticModel.add_linear_inequality_constraint()`. It allows the use of unbalanced penalization <https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.13914> instead of the slack variables method for the inequality constraints.
Bug Fixes
- Fix the behavior of `SampleSet.relabel_variables()` when `inplace=True`. Previously the method incorrectly returned a copy when the sample set was unresolved.
