mmCEsim: Task-oriented Millimeter Wave Channel Estimation

New Features

• ALG library enhancement (#49, PR #51):
  • Add OMPL[^1] algorithm to the library.
  • ALG dependency check.
  • Enhanced log and TeX report (PR #55).
• Update Doxygen website configurations (including more graphs).
• Automatic version bump script (#70, PR #75).

Bug Fixes

• Rename configuration file to mmcesim.cfg (#50, PR #53).
• Change Unix file location of mmcesim.log and mmcesim.cfg (#71, PR #74)
• Fix C++ (Armadillo) runtime error when simulating with -O2 or -O3 on macOS by patching arma::randperm (#52, PR #54).
• Fix warnings due to Boost Library's use of deprecated functions (#66).
