* python 3.12 + pandas 2.2 migration (probably compatible with python 3.9, but for sure not earlier):
* fix pandas 2 deprecations:
* DataFrame/Series.append -> concat, applymap -> map, Series.iteritems -> items,
* Styler.render -> to_html, Styler.where -> map,
* 'S' freq alias deprecation from pandas 2.1,
* pandas 2 not accepting strings in float-dtype columns,
* fix a pandas future deprecation warning (setting an item of incompatible dtype),
* warn about some Pandas 2 warnings to be fixed later,
* silent a pandas 2.2 future warning about down casting and try to fix it for when it comes true (hope),
* python 3.12 compatibility fixes:
* fix ResultSet.fromExcel not closing the ExcelFile object,
* fix special chars verification only in temp dir name (tempfile.mkdtemp returns an absolute path from python 3.12),
* update python minimal version specification, and modules versions in requirements.txt
(to new actually tested versions and pandas 2.2 minimum supported versions),
* non-regression valtests for analyser & pre-analyser:
* added a 2nd HTML report test method, through pandas.read_html,
* improve HTML report comparison with prior BeautifulSoup prettification.

* full non-regression pytest-automated suite (90% coverage),
* added support for MCDS 7.4 / Distance 7.5 (backward-compatible with MCDS 6.2 / Distance 6.x - 7.3),
* easier customization of MCDS detection through MCDS_PATH environment variable,
* logging of actual MCDS version used (rather than simply its installation folder),
* improved packaging (add test dependencies, fix package building warnings),
* fixed analysis results column set possibly varying with analysis parameter specs, due to auto-cleanup of all-empty columns by DataSet.dfData,
* minor fixes and improvements:
- fixed AFS-Steps sheet index in auto-filtered workbook reports for easier loading through pandas,
- moved most of \_\_main\_\_ code to a new 'main' module, to make it more easily auto-testable,
- improved configuration and documentation about code coverage measurements during pytests.

* added MCDSPreAnalyser.computeSampleStats() to compute distance stats for samples to pre-analyse,
* fixed BalQual1 indicator computation (has been failing systematically for a long time !?),
* start again porting the notebook-based test suite to pytest (~20 % done),
* minor fixes and improvements to reports,
* stricter requirements.txt to reflect actually tested software platform.

* new how-to and how it works documentation with concrete runable scenarios and relevant field data,
* command line mode minor fixes,
* improved packaging.

* improvements, fixes and non-regression tests (notebook) for auto-filtered reports,
* new command line mode (__main__ sub-module),
* improved packaging.

The first really working version with its initial features:
* point transect Distance Sampling with MCDS 6.2 under Windows 7+,
* automated parallel run and reporting of multiple combinations of samples and analysis parameters,
* optional auto-determination of the left and right truncation distances (through a parallelized optimization system),
* automated filtering and sorting of results for easier choice at the end of the right analysis to select (among the numerous variants run), for each sample.
