Many improvements here, successfully brought to you by our lab's adoption of GitFlow. This release's major features:

• Able to write graph structure out at simulation end.
• Able to write intermediate graph structure out each epoch.
• Graph initialization now done explicitly via GraphML file.
• Working CPU STDP code.
• New Recorder classes for simplified data file generation.
• New DeviceVector class for automatic GPU memory management of member variables we want to mirror on GPU.
• Serialization is 99% working; but there is still some weird problem that prevents one variable from deserializing properly.
• OperationManager added top-level operations for triggering most GPU memory functions (allocate, deallocate, and copy to/from GPU).

Full Changelog: v0.9.1...v0.9.2

Simulator substantially uses C++17 coding conventions. Many documentation and process goodies! We have test driven GitFlow.

The purpose of this release is as a checkpoint before we merge in the new EventBuffer class. This release works on both CPU and GPU, except for the GPU STDP implementation. The merge after this release is likely to completely break the GPU code, because EventBuffer doesn't yet support copy to/from GPU. Note that this release does include the EventBuffer documentation, just not its implementation (and all of the indirect impacts of that implementation).

This is a pre-release of the Graphitti simulator for early spring 2021. It builds, and CPU-based simulations have been validated. We're making this release primarily to generate a DOI on Zenodo. Current codebase only includes neural models.
