cdslaborg/paramonte: v1.5.1

Version 1.5.1 -- January 1, 2020

Minor Enhancements

• This is a minor enhancement release, but is a major step toward further portability of the ParaMonte library. All ParaMonte kernel library dependencies are now properly handled and recognized at runtime without such aggressive actions as permanently redefining the environmental path variables, most importantly, PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux/macOS.

• The ParaMonte kernel routines are now capable of handling user-input file paths that contain white-space (blank) or other exotic characters.

• The Bash build script for the ParaMonte C/C++/Fortran examples can now handle file paths that contain white-space (blank) or other exotic characters.

• The shared (dynamic) library file naming convention is now changed from using "dynamic" in the file name to using "shared" in the file name.

Minor Enhancements

• Typo-fixes in the documentation of the library.
