Pull request from alessandro-mariotti-zupit that upgrades python and packages versions.

Version 1.3.1

Minor changes

Added the classifier Topic :: Scientific/Engineering :: Hydrology

Version 1.3.0

Major changes to existing components

ODEsElements can now return the derivative of the fluxes together with the fluxes. This enables the usage of numerical solvers that use the derivatives (e.g., Newton methods).
Folder structure improved. The numerical approximators and the root finders have been moved from the folder implementation/computation to implementation/numerical_approximators and implementation/root_finders, respectively. Names of the files have been slightly modified to be coherent with this new folder organization.

New code

Implemented a new numerical approximator implementing Runge Kutta 4
Implemented a new root finder implementing a Newton-bisection method
Implemented a new root finder implementing a trivial algorithm to solve explicit algebraic equations.

Version 1.2.1

Minor changes

The network attribute topography has been changed to topology.

Version 1.2.0

Major changes to existing components

The abbreviation of “differential equation” changes, in the code, from dif_eq to diff_eq. This change regards variables names, both in the methods arguments and implementation.
The class FastReservoir has been changed to PowerReservoir. No changes in the functionality of the class.

Minor changes

Testing improved.

Form this version, SuperflexPy is released under license LGPL. For details, read License

Minor changes to existing components

Bug fix on the solution of the differential equations of the reservoirs. The calculation of the maximum storage was not correct.

Version 1.0.0

Version 1.0.0 represents the first mature release of SuperflexPy. Many aspects have changed since earlier 0.x releases both in terms of code organization and conceptualization of the framework. Models built with versions 0.x are not compatible with this version and with the following releases.

Major changes to existing components

New numerical solver structure for elements controlled by ordinary differential equations (ODEs). A new component, the NumericaApproximator is introduced; its task it to get the fluxes from the elements and construct an approximation of the ODEs. In the previous release of the framework the approximation was hard coded in the element implementation.
ODEsElement have now to implement the methods _fluxes and _fluxes_python instead of _differential_equation
Added the possibility for nodes and units to have local states and parameters. To this end, some internal functionalities for finding the element given the id have been changed to account for the presence of states and parameters at a level higher then the elements.

Minor changes to existing components

Added implicit or explicit check at initialization of units, nodes, and network that the components that they contain are of the right type (e.g. a node must contain units)
Minor changes to RootFinder to accommodate the new numerical implementation.
Added Numba implementation of GR4J elements

New code

Added hymod elements
