v1.5.0

• Pipes may now use integers for the datetime column.
  If you use an auto-incrementing integer as your primary key, you may now use that column as your pipe's datetime column, just specify the dtype as an Int64:

  import meerschaum as mrsm
  pipe = mrsm.Pipe(
      'foo', 'bar',
      instance = 'sql:memory',
      columns = {
          'datetime': 'id',
      },
      dtypes = {
          'id': 'Int64',
      },
  )
  pipe.sync([{'id': 1, 'foo': 'bar'}])
  pipe.sync([{'id': 2, 'foo': 'baz'}])

  This applies the same incremental range filtering logic as is normally done on the datetime axis.

• Allow for multiple plugins directories.
  You may now set multiple directories for MRSM_PLUGINS_DIR. All of the plugins contained in each directory will be symlinked together into a single plugins namespace. To do this, just set MRSM_PLUGINS_DIR to a JSON-encoded list:

  export MRSM_PLUGINS_DIR='["./plugins_1", "./plugins_2"]'

• Better Windows support.
  At long last, the color issues plaguing Windows users have finally been resolved. Additionally, support for background jobs has been fixed on Windows, though the daemonization library I use is pretty hacky and doesn't make for the smoothest experience. But at least it works now!

• Fixed unsafe TAR extraction.
  A PR about unsafe use of tar.extractall() brought this issue to light.

• Fixed the blank logs bug in show logs.
  Backtracking a couple lines before following the rest of the logs has been fixed.

• Requirements may include brackets.
  Python packages listed in a plugin's requirements list may now include brackets (e.g. meerschaum[api]).
