Chips-n-Salsa, v6.2.0

[6.2.0] - 2023-01-10

Added

• AdaptiveMutationOnlyEvolutionaryAlgorithm: Implementation of a mutation-only evolutionary algorithm with mutation rates that evolve during the search.
• Extracted a EuclideanDistance class from the TSP (previously default and only edge distance) to enable easily introducing additional TSP edge distance functions.

Changed

• Refactored several classes to improve performance and/or maintainability, including the following:
  • Several permutation crossover and mutation operators for improved performance
  • All real-valued mutation operators
  • SimulatedAnnealing
  • Stochastic samplers
  • Hill climbers
  • Evolutionary algorithms
  • Parallel metaheuristic and parallel multistarter classes
• Refactored test cases for the LargestCommonSubgraph class (based on RefactorFirst scan).
• Refactored test cases for the hill climber classes (based on RefactorFirst scan).
• Refactored test cases for the TSP class (based on RefactorFirst scan).
• Refactored test cases for BoltzmannSelection and BoltzmannStochasticUniversalSampling (based on RefactorFirst scan).

Dependencies

• Bump jpt from 4.3.1 to 5.0.0
• Bump rho-mu from 2.5.0 to 3.0.1
