v0.5.0

Overview

This release adds a variety of changes including a complete refactoring of the codebase, extending tests to a broader array of functions, updating docstrings to be more informative and descriptive, adding more FEAT-specific functionality to produce outputs comparable to EchoPro, extending the inversion sub-package to also include matrix inversion (although limited to only the PCDWBA for now), and generating a variety of example workflow script files.
