v0.3.0

Summary

The biggest addition is soundfile support for reading "wav", "ogg", "flac", and "aiff" files. Otherwise, cleaning up docs, bumping minimum version, etc.

Changelog

• Moved AliasedFactory and alias_factory_subclass_from_arg to alias submodule.
• Removed Python 3.6 support.
• Bug fix for issue #14 - Gammatone alpha coefficient wrong for ERB.
• Added Stack to post.
• Added soundfile decoding to read_signal.
• Removed catch-all condition for read_signal (when all else fails, try Kaldi and then numpy.fromfile). Breaks v0.2.0 behaviour. Needed for soundfile.
• Default for sphere decoding of u-law/a-law is now to convert to pcm-16 rather than to stay encoded.
• Removed setup.py (builds with pyproject.toml and setup.cfg).
• Removed conda recipe in prep for conda-forge.
• version.py -> _version.py
• Cleaned up documentation.

Python 3 only, breaking backwards compatibility

A considerable amount of refactoring occurred for this build, chiefly to get
rid of Python 2.7 support. While the functionality did not change much for this
version, we have switched from a pkgutil-style pydrobert namespace to
PEP-420-style namespaces. As a result, this package is not
backwards-compatible with previous pydrobert packages! Make sure that if any
of the following are installed, they exceed the following version thresholds:

• pydrobert-param >0.2.0
• pydrobert-kaldi >0.5.3
• pydrobert-pytorch >0.2.1

Miscellaneous other stuff:

• Type hints everywhere
• Shifted python source to src/
• Black-formatted remaining source
• Removed future dependency
• Shifted most of the configuration to setup.cfg, leaving only a shell
  in setup.py to remain compatible with Conda builds
• Added pyproject.toml for PEP
  517.
• tox.ini for TOX testing
• Switched to AppVeyor for CI
• Messed around with documentation a little bit
• Added changelog :D

Bug fixes and NIST sphere processing

Not much since the last version. NIST SPHERE format was added, and I made a few bug fixes.

The primary reason for a release now is that python 2.7 support will be dropped in the next version of this library.

PyTorch, docs, some minor bug fixes

Welp, looks like I didn't publish v0.0.0 to git. Or PyPI. Based on the Conda v0.0.0, there's not much new here except some PyTorch integration and documentation.
