ALPSCore: Version 0.5

The ALPSCore project, based on the ALPS (Algorithms and Libraries for Physics Simulations) project, provides generic algorithms and utilities for physics problems. It strives to increase software reuse in the physics community.

This release: Bugfixes and enhancements. Some of the visible changes are:

1. alps::accumulators changes:
   • Improved access to individual accumulators (not as part of accumulator_set)
   • Allowed vector-constant and vector-scalar binary operations.
2. alps::params changes:
   • Specifications clarified. In particular, a parameter containing a "larger" type can be assigned a value of a "smaller" type, but cannot be converted to the value of a "smaller" type.
   • Improved adherence to the specifications.
   • Comparison operators are added for convenience.
   • API changes: defaulted(), defined(), exists().
