Zodipy

Changed
- Improved performance of ZodiPy by up to 40% for single process calls. This was achieved by refactoring the brightness integral function to take advantage of that we are no longer using component specific line of sight discretisation e1edd34252b83ad999aca4ef46b7e4b1435f68f1.

v.0.6.4

New
- ZodiPy can now compute the emission in parallel by distributing the pointing over multiple processes. This is useful for large pointing sequences or making binned maps with large `nside` where the execution would be slow due to the massive amount of line of sights that needs to be evaluated. This feature is disabled by default, but is activated by initializing `Zodipy` with `parallel=True`. Optionally, the user may also specify the number of desired processes with the `n_proc` argument. See the new [*Parallel computations*](https://cosmoglobe.github.io/zodipy/usage/#parallel-computations) section in the documentation for an example of how to use ZodiPy with this feature.

v.0.6.3

**Fixed**
- Updated dependencies so ZodiPy now works properly on all Python versions >= 3.8


v.0.6.2

**Changed**
- Added `solar_cutoff` as an argument to the initialisation of `Zodipy` (see 73c03360c68a1a13f548bd4d3b8131b859bff160). This argument takes in an angle (in degrees) and masks the emission for all pointing that has an angular distance between the sun smaller than the specified `solar_cutoff`. Due to the singularity in the interplanetary dust model, pointing looking directly at the Sun will get unphysical values. Although most experiments dont have scanning strategies looking in towards the Sun, this feature could be useful for simulated pointing and for making instantaneous full sky maps of the zodiacal emission.

v.0.6.1

Documentation was ported from sphinx (readthedocs) to mkdocs with gh-pages.

v.0.6.0

This release introduces significant changes to the ``Zodipy`` API by splitting the old ``get_emisison`` function into smaller components. The previous function was trying to *do to much*, which made the code harder to maintain and less *pythonic*. I believe it is better to split it into smaller components who each handle the specific use cases (get emission for pixels, angles, binned pixels, and binned angles).

The four new methods are: ``get_emission_ang``, ``get_emission_pix``, ``get_binned_emission_ang``, and ``get_binned_emission_pix``. For more information on how to use the new functions, please see [the reference](https://zodipy.readthedocs.io/en/dev/reference/zodipy.html).
