lenstronomy v1.7.0 available

[Simon Birrer]

Dear lenstronomy community,

we just released lenstronomy v1.7.0 on pypi, following the current master branch of the GitHub repo.

Thank you very much everyone who contributed to this release, by contributing through pull requests, raising issues, motivating better documentation and functionality.

The new release is considered minor. All functions should be backwards compatible except definitions involving the COSMO.nfw_param functionality (not the lens model part of NFW). Find below the release notes.

The features have mostly be announced as they were added to the master branch in the lenstronomy Slack channel (if you want to join, please let me know). All the extension notebooks remain unchanged based on this release.

Please let me know if you encounter issues or have questions, or post it on the Slack channel.

Best wishes,

Simon
