+v1.2.0 (September 9, 2019)
+==========================
+
+Huge speed improvements and enhancements: implementation of a fully vectorized fast mode which now runs 8760 simulations in less than 2 seconds (and calculates same or better results than previous version of fast mode). The improvements done for fast mode also benefit the full simulation mode as some speed improvements have been observed as well.
