New in Version 0.17.4

Updates to unpacked nodes

The unpacked_node interface has been updated. For efficiency, an unpacked node is now permanently attached to one forest, and there is a free list of unpacked nodes for each forest. Also, the interface has been updated to increase readability.

Updates to forests

• All methods have been moved from expert_forest class to forest class.

• All instances of expert_forest have been replaced by forest.

Deprecated methods

Uncomment ALLOW_DEPRECATED_0_17_4 in defines.h to use these deprecated methods. This is intended to help developers migrate to the new interface. Deprecated methods appear at the bottom of forest.h and unpacked.h.
