Chips-n-Salsa, v6.1.0

[6.1.0] - 2022-11-17

Added

• AdaptiveEvolutionaryAlgorithm class: An implementation of an evolutionary algorithm with control
  parameters (crossover and mutation rates) that evolve during the search.
• Option to constrain the result of a mutation on a real-valued representation to an interval (e.g., such
  as relevant if mutating a crossover or mutation rate since such rates constrained in [0.0, 1.0]).
• A set(int[]) method to the IntegerValued interface along with implementations in corresponding classes.
• A set(double[]) method to the RealValued interface along with implementations in corresponding classes.

Changed

• Reformatted all sourcecode to Google Java Style.
• Refactored evolutionary algorithm classes to improve maintainability, as well as a few minor optimizations.
• Refactored mutation classes for real-valued representations, including:
  • Extracted an internal abstract base class for common functionality.
  • Refactored Gaussian mutation classes to use new abstract base class.
  • Refactored Cauchy mutation classes to use new abstract base class.
  • Refactored uniform mutation classes to use new abstract base class.
• Refactored several test classes based on suggestions by Sonatype Lift's new technical debt scan.

Fixed

• Configuration of maven-shade-plugin fixed to suppress generation of dependency-reduced pom to avoid
  breaking transitive dependencies for the regular jar of the library.

Dependencies

• Bump core from 2.2.2 to 2.4.3
• Bump rho-mu from 2.4.2 to 2.5.0
• Bump jpt from 4.2.0 to 4.3.1

CI/CD

• Configured the refactor-first-maven-plugin within a profile in the pom.xml.
• Configured Spotify's fmt-maven-plugin to format to Google Java Style during builds.

Other

• Adopted Google Java Style.
