v4.3.0

[carlhiggs]

This release contains a number of enhancements to the software.

The main one is, the Global Healthy and Sustainable City Indicators (GHSCI) software can be run in different ways according to user needs (#259)

• use keywords (with instructions given): configure, analysis, generate, compare
• use Jupyter notebooker (example is provided; type lab)
• import as python modules (provided Jupyter notebook illustrates how this is done)
• run as a graphical user interface in web browser (type ghsci; see Graphical user interface #283)

Facilitating the above was refactoring to allow for regions to be defined as a class (#276).

A full annotated example is now provided in a jupyter notebook, and this includes an example for configuring and running a sensitivity analysis comparison (#288).

In addition, issues with some GTFS feeds processing files where calendar dates is used instead of calendar.txt was addressed (#275), along with some associated issues introduced while conducting this refactoring (#280, #281, #282).

Additionally,

• the instructions provided when the software is first launched have been improved and simplified, with the further addition of a help command that when entered will display the instructions again.
• and supporting future development, a basic Github Actions workflow for continuous integration has been implemented, to run code tests upon pull requests to the main branch

Enjoy!
