v1.0.0a1

🌏Welcome to v1.0.0a1

An incredible pre-release of RocketPy. We encourage all users to install and test the new features.
To install it, you can simply run:

pip install rocketpy --pre

🚀What's Changed:

• Added support for LiquidMotor and HybridMotor 😁
• Various improvements were made to the Flight and Rocket classes.
• New features were added, such as the CompareFlights class for comparing flight plots, new nosecone types, and a RailButtons class.
• Several bug fixes were made, addressing issues with parachute lag, standard atmosphere, flight without rail buttons, and more.
• Dependency upgrades: update netcdf4 requirement and dropping support for Python 3.7.
• New utility functions and methods were added, including Function Operations and Piecewise Functions.
• Significant breaking change: ALL the code now is based on snake_case instead of the old camelCase format.
