tobac v1.6.2 released

[swf...@uah.edu]

Dear tobac users,

We are pleased to announce the release of tobac v1.6.2, which is now available on conda-forge and (new!) on PyPi via pip. 

This is a feature release with some new features. The primary new feature is a complete overhaul of our documentation website, tobac.io. The new website features new examples, much improved documentation pages, and new and clearer API documentation. If you haven't visited the documentation page in a while, we encourage you to check it out. 

Thanks,

The tobac dev team
