[v0.5.0] - unreleased
This release doesn't add much new functionality, but represents a major restructuring
of the code base. Specifically, it removes the Agents.jl dependency and changes the
way the species definition macros work and are used.

Added


SimulationModel type, extended by AgricultureModel struct


@create macro defines a special phase function that is called when an individual
animal is created (at birth or on model initialisation)


functions (and associated macros) to replace Agents.jl functionality:


move!() and walk!()


nearby_ids(), nearby_animals(), countanimals(), neighbours()


directionto(), distanceto(), randomdirection()


nagents(), killallanimals!()
