v0.1.0

This is the initial public pre-release for HistoClean. This version is for testing and is the version used in the paper "HistoClean: open-source software for histological image pre-processing and augmentation to improve development of robust convolutional neural networks "

In this initial release, user can:

1. Create tiles out of large images using the Image Tiling Module.
2. Quickly balance image classes by simple rotate and mirror image augmentation.
3. Normalize image colors by histogram matching.
4. Filter histological tiles by white-space presence.
5. Augment or pre-process images using a plethora of image processing modules.

This release, while mostly stable, will have bugs and unexpected crashes. There will be several updates to the application in the coming weeks. Any suggestions or requests for features are highly encouraged.
