Foundationdesign

I am excited to announce the release of version 0.1.0 of the FoundationDesign library!

**What's New:**
- **User-Specified Reinforcement Area:** Users can now specify the area of reinforcement provided in their designs to override the program calculated one. For example:
`reinforcement_provision_flexure_X_dir(area_of_steel_provided=452)`
`reinforcement_provision_flexure_Y_dir(area_of_steel_provided=452)`

**Versioning Strategy:**
- Moving forward, This project will adhere to strict semantic versioning (SemVer) principles. This means:
- **Bug Fixes** will focus on bug fixes and minor improvements. Which will involve incrementing the last digit of the version, e.g v0.1.1
- **Minor updates** will introduce new features that are backward-compatible. Which will involve incrementing the last digit of the version, e.g v0.2.0
- **Major updates** may include changes that are not backward-compatible, signalling significant enhancements to the library. Which will involve incrementing the last digit of the version, e.g v2.0.0

**Update on the Web app**
The web app for the library is currently in development and will be released for public beta testing soon enough.

Thank You!
