v2.4.0

Added features / functionality:

• Added generic country simulation that automatically downloads contact data for various countries from POLYMOD
• ODE/IDE-based models with hospitalization: Added possibility of death from hospitalization without intensive care
• Added ODE SEIR metapopulation model with implicit mobility
• Added Python bindings for ODE SEIR metapopulation model
• Added PyPI package for memilio-simulation
• Added Graph Neural Networks
• Added ODE model generator from yaml and toml template

General changes:

• Improved functionality for DynamicNPIs
• Use of ContactMatrix instead of CustomIndexArray for contact rates of ABM
• Move output of examples to example_results

Corrections:

• Corrected macOS import failure due to incorrect runtime library lookup (RPATH)
• Fixed typos and bugs in documentation
• Harmonized description of time series, infection states and other keywords in documentation
• Added ScalarType to code examples in the documentation
• Corrected use of the ABMs RNG after initialization
• Corrected operation to act only on current system state and not on result time series in SMM

Minor changes:

• Build benchmarks in CI
• Switched to Doxysphinx
• Removed log outputs from testing
• Improved documentation of TypeSafe and derived types
• Extended documentation
• Build and test on MacOS
• Replaced the deprecated FetchContent_Populate and increased CMake minimum version to 3.18.
