The primary additions in this release are backwards compatible addition of a global metadata to keep track of things like random number generators and cosmology. This is currently not saved in result files by default to enable a slow roll-out, users can opt-in by setting the BILBY_INCLUDE_GLOBAL_METADATA environment variable.

We also added better tracking of cosmology in general around CBC-specific classes.

To address a bug in the dynesty sampler, we modified the interface to avoid cases where progress can be lost during the checkpointing process.

A full change listing is below.
