Major Refactoring Release thanks to @brownag!
In addition to a general code refactoring and new templating architecture, the main new feature is multi-core (parallel) processing of distance computations. This is a long-awaited feature which we hope will further enrich the user experience.

Main new features:

• The core distance calculation engine has been refactored to use C++ template metaprogramming and RcppParallel. This provides significant speed and memory usage improvements for distance(), dist_one_many(), and dist_many_many(). (see PR #40 by @brownag)

• Default values for optional arguments (like p for the Minkowski distance) have been updated from NA to NULL in the R function signatures to better align with the C++ backend.

Fixing warning on Debian systems:

  * used C++ compiler: ‘Debian clang version 17.0.5 (1)’

• The solution was to implement this quick fix by reinstalling Rcpp v1.0.11.6 via devtools::install_github("https://github.com/RcppCore/Rcpp") and rerun Rcpp::compileAttributes().
