Lightcurve-fitting

This release replaces filter transmission functions with generic filter curves from the Spanish Virtual Observatory wherever possible. It also changes the prior on the blackbody temperature from log-uniform to uniform for the purposes of bolometric light curves. Since the previous version, there was a bug in calculating the maximum/minimum validity times for shock cooling models when using an intrinsic scatter parameter, which is now fixed. See other minor changes in release-history.rst.

This release allows more flexible input formats for photometry and spectroscopy, adds an option for an intrinsic scatter parameter in model fitting, and fixes other minor bugs and compatibility issues.

This release provides alternative column names that will be recognized for light curves being read from text files, as well as some minor bug fixes and improvements.

This adds documentation and some minor improvements to the initial GitHub-only release.

This pre-release is usable by the public but not yet well documented or packaged.
