Subject: Library for Evolutionary Algorithms in Python (LEAP) v0.5 released

LEAP is a general-purpose Evolutionary Computation package for Python
that combines readable and easy-to-use syntax for search and
optimization algorithms with powerful distribution and visualization
features.

Version 0.5 of LEAP introduces adds support for several additional
evolutionary representations:

 * Added a Cartesian genetic programming (CGP) representation,
executable_rep.cgp, with example in examples/cgp.py
 * Added a simple neural network representation,
executable_rep.neural_network, and made it the default for
examples/openai_gym.py
 * Added support for integer representations, via the int_rep package
 * Added support for heterogeneous island models, demoed in
examples/multitask_island_model.py
 * Added support for static- and variable-length segments, which are
fixed-length "chunks" of values
 * Greatly improved test coverage
 * Added statistical_helpers to assist with writing unit tests for
stochastic algorithms
