Version 4.1

• Adds DefaultNormalizer and DefaultEpsilons classes with the ability to override the defaults with
  problem-specific, custom settings. These settings can be set either by calling override or loaded from the
  properties file.

• ThreadLocalMersenneTwister is now the default random number generator used by PRNG. Consequently,
  PRNG can be used by multi-threaded or parallel codes directly.

• Markdown and Latex support when saving or displaying tables:

  algorithm.getResult().save(TableFormat.Latex, new File("result.tex"));
  

• Expands CI testing to include Windows and MacOS.

• Improvements to ExternalProblem, including:

  • Adds Builder to simplify configuring the executable, optional sockets, and other settings:

    new ExternalProblem.Builder().withCommand("problem.exe").withDebugging()
    

  • Added retries and shutdown timeout, which can be configured through the builder or the global properties:

    org.moeaframework.problem.external.enable_debugging = true
    org.moeaframework.problem.external.retry_attempts = 5
    org.moeaframework.problem.external.retry_delay = 1
    org.moeaframework.problem.external.shutdown_timeout = 10
    

  • Adds Winsock support on Windows, enabling socket communication on all supported platforms.

  • Adds brackets "[0,1,2]" and braces "{0,3}" to permutation and subset string encodings, respectively, for
    improved parsing and validation.
