New/updated features:

1. AZP Updates:

• AZP: add ARiSeL #2266 (see https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/9d_spatial4/lab9d.html#arisel)
• AZP Tabu search (see https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/9d_spatial4/lab9d.html#tabu-search-1)
• AZP Simulated Annealing (see https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/9d_spatial4/lab9d.html#simulated-annealing)
• Update Minimum Bound on AZP

2. Max-p Updates:

• Reimplement max-p based on AZP (parallelized)
• max-p Greedy (see https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/9d_spatial4/lab9d.html#greedy)
• max-p Tabu Search (see https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/9d_spatial4/lab9d.html#tabu-search-2)
• max-p Simulated Annealing (see https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/9d_spatial4/lab9d.html#simulated-annealing-2)

3. Spatially Constrained Hierarchical Clustering (SCHC) Updates:
(see https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/9c_spatial3/lab9c.html#spatially-constrained-hierarchical-clustering-schc)

Add/update SCHC using Single/Average/Complete/Wards-linkage
The algorithm has been reimplemented based on Skater/Redcap

4. REDCAP Updates:
(see https://geodacenter.github.io/workbook/9c_spatial3/lab9c.html#redcap)

Add/update: FullOrder-WardsLinkage, FullOrder-SingleLinkage, Fullorder-AverageLinkage, Fullorder-CompleteLinkage, Firstorder-SingleLinkage

5. Language updates:
Spanish language (Thanks to Coro)
Russian language (Thanks to Venera Timiryanova)

Fixes:

1. Update Windows installer with Chinese language
2. Fix crash when using an empty column #2261
3. Fix "Heat Map" on Windows and Ubuntu #2263
4. Load incompatible Mat file in weights dialog will crash GeoDa #2265
5. Fix conditional boxplot crashes with time-grouped variables #2279
6. Fix a crash: when loading csv with empty coordinates as the second layer
