Version 2.3.6

This release supports the new Apple Mx (ARM) chips, Linux (ARM) chips, and a series of mixture models for phylogenomics.

Major Features:

• Ability to link exchangeability rates for (amino-acid) profile mixture models, with a nexus file outputted for the estimated substitution matrix. The options --link-exchange and --init-exchange are now available.
• Mixture across sites and trees, MAST model.
• MixtureFinder, to automatically select DNA mixture models.
• Support for the new Apple Mx chips (Use clang17 or above for compilation)
• Support for Linux ARM (Use clang14 or above to compile the source codes)

Several Bug Fixes and Enhancements:

• Fixed the #255 issue -- Infinite loop while using BNNI under PMSF model
• Fixed the #261 issue -- Init linked exchangeabilities model name no need to be in all caps
• Fixed the #272 issue -- Bug in writing best_model.nex file
• Fixed the GTRpmix file format
• Added a user warning when the induced root is not found in gCF
• Added the supported platforms shield to readme
