v1.2.2

What's Changed

Core

• Phase space variables generator intermediate object, in #56. This sets the ground for faster phase space mappers algorithms to be interfaced, such as Rambo.
• Refactoring of factories implementation, in #60
• RPM packaging was added in CI since #59

Physics

• Fix of LPAIR z-dependent distributions in SD mode, in #58
• Allow signed PDG indices to be used in processes, and in particle properties definitions, in #61 and #62
• Refactoring of steering cards interface, in #65
• A new type of steered module with registration is handled: modules descriptor objects, in #66
• Allows form factors to be set at the individual beam level, in case of asymmetric beam-beam interactions, in #71
• LPAIR now allows asymmetric beams to be handled, in #72 (useful for pPb, or ep cases)

Extensions

• Porting of the MG5_aMC features in the new factorised process environment, in #63
• MadGraph5_aMC@NLO in CI, in #64
• Bump actions/checkout from 3 to 4, and github/codeql-action from 2 to 3 in #67 and #68
• Python+CTML documentation generators, in #69
• Python: automatic modules steering generation, in #70. This allows the automatic generation of steered modules configuration in Python, easily importable and modifiable, and allows a cleanup of most of the Python configurations already written.
