New development release available (3.99_003)

[Shawn Laffan]

A new development release of Biodiverse is now available.  This is the
third in the 3.99 series, leading to a version 4 release.

You can access it through
https://github.com/shawnlaffan/biodiverse/wiki/Downloads#development-release

An executable is available only for Windows at this time.  Mac and Linux
releases can be made if needed.

Please give it a test run and report any errors or suggest any
improvements.  You can use this email list or the project issue tracker
at https://github.com/shawnlaffan/biodiverse/issues

The main highlight since 3.99_002 is that it is now much easier to
import environmental data from rasters and attach them to a basedata as
group properties.  This means it is also easier to analyse environmental
conditions that are correlated with clusters in a cluster analysis.
