Next CmdStanPy release #811
Description
I think we should consider releasing 1.2.6 soon. Changes since 1.2.5:
* Add `diagnose` method to `CmdStanModel`. by @tillahoffmann in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/734
* Add timing information to CmdStanMCMC by @mitzimorris in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/779
* Clean up TQDM usage by @WardBrian in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/781
* CmdStan path validation only requires makefile by @WardBrian in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/783
* Add new `create_inits()` methods to other stanfit classes by @amas0 in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/791
* Add helpers to enable/disable logging by @amas0 in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/796
* Faster CSV parsing and added Stan CSV utilities by @amas0 in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/799, https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/801, and https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/806
* Remove Python 3.8 support by @amas0 in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/808
* Deprecate metric argument and property, rename to inv_metric by @WardBrian in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/804
* Update tests for new CmdStan defaults by @WardBrian in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/797
* Stop trying to munge return codes from subprocess by @WardBrian in https://github.com/stan-dev/cmdstanpy/pull/809
Looking at this, we could also reasonably call this 1.3. My hesitancy is this note in the past few releases:
Reminder: The next non-bugfix release of CmdStanPy will be version 2.0, which will remove all existing deprecations.
