Documentation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- [New] Wiki started on GitHub for more responsive updates to documentation including changes to source during development.

"demand" package are now inside the "inventory" package. If you have been using the "model_inventory" module, then nothing has
changed, and there will not be any break in contracts.

- [New Feature] SKU and inventory profile recommendations generator.
- [Update] Explicit internal and public API.
- [Update] Excess, shortages added to the UncertainDemand order_summary.
- [Update] Moved abc_xyz.py, analyse_uncertain_demand.py, economic_order_quantity.py and eoq.pyx from "demand" to "inventory" package
- [Update] "Demand" package now contains: evolutionary_algorithms.py, forecast_demand.py and regression.py
