pyplis 1.5.0

Overview

After a longer period of hibernation, we are happy to announce that finally, a new version of pyplis is available.

• The new version comes with relevant modernisation to support more recent python versions 3.9-3.12, while python 2.7 support is fully retired.
  • In this context, pyplis now uses pyproject.toml and the installation using pip now also takes care of all required dependencies, for details see updated installation instructions
• Several bugs have been identified and fixed, some of them related to updates in dependencies (e.g. #32, #33, #34, #35, #37, #41, #51, #52, #60, #62)
• The example scripts and tutorials have been revised, improved and extended.
• We've added more unit tests, but there is still a way to go to reach sufficient coverage.
• The docs have been restructured and updated take a look.

Finally, a big thanks to @ubdbra001 and @twVolc who contributed with several improvements, bug fixes and even updated the interface for automatic volcano meta information retrieval!
