0.11.0

What's Changed

Significant update that has refactored much of the PyTerrier source code and renamed many classes as we progress towards a PyTerrier 1.0 release.

The most significant changes are:

• pt.init() is no longer required 😃. If necessary pt.java methods can be used to change Java initialisation
• pt.BatchRetrieve is now pt.terrier.Retriever, and similar changes for other Terrier indexers and retrievers
• pt.AnseriniBatchRetrieve is now in its own separate project, PyTerrier-Anserini, with various improvements

All changes are backwards compatible in this release - deprecation warnings will guide you how to update your code.
