N E M O v2.3.46 [09 Feb 2017]

This is a bug fix release, also introducing a few new cool features like 
adding the possibility to simulate genetic and phenotypic data on an
existing pedigree.


CHANGELOG v2.3.46

FIX: recombination between 2 first loci on the genetic map was suppressed 
     if chromosome-wide recombination rates were specified as a round 
     log 10 number in the input file (e.g. ..._recombination_rate 0.001)
     
FIX: corrected handling of the quadratic fitness option for quantitative 
     trait, a bug existed when several traits were specified
     
FIX: composite life cycle breed_selection_disperse was ignoring traits not
     under selection -> no inheritance done!
     
ADD: now possible to save the pedigree information for the whole population
     or for a sample of each patch to a text file ('pop_output...' params)
     
ADD: now possible to load a population from a pedigree file (from real or 
     simulated pedigrees) and perform genetic simulations (mutation and 
     recombination) with the individuals contained in the pedigree file
     (using the 'cross' life cycle event operator)
     
ADD: new file output to save the whole population distribution of individual
     fitness values when selection is used in the life cycle 
     
ADD: new file output to save allele frequency changes at diallelic quantitative
     loci in each patch across generations with quanti_freq_output options
     
ADD: local relative fitness scaling can now be done relative to the maximum
     fitness value in a patch instead of relative to its mean fitness value
     
MOD: chromosomes may have a variable number of loci on all genetic maps

MOD: configuration file: change of '@' -> '&' to pre-pend the name of 
     external files (files containing large parameter values like matrices)
     to avoid confusion with temporally varying parameters arguments and 
     potential runtime errors
     
MOD: the content of the external parameter files is not written to the 
     '.log' and '.bin' files anymore
