+implementations.

+- Introduction of a new experimental forecasting module.
+- Restructuring and expansion of the clustering module, including deep learning
+  clustering.
+- Explicit split of the transformation module into series transformers and collection

+- Extended anomaly detection module.
+- Completely new testing suite.
+- Enhanced visualisation tools.
+- Improved documentation and examples.
+- Introduction of more multivariate capable deep learning estimators.
