PyGAD 2.17.0 Documentation

## PyGAD 2.17.0

Release Date: 8 July 2022

1. An issue is solved when the `gene_space` parameter is given a fixed value. e.g. gene_space=[range(5), 4]. The second gene's value is static (4) which causes an exception.
2. Fixed the issue where the `allow_duplicate_genes` parameter did not work when mutation is disabled (i.e. `mutation_type=None`). This is by checking for duplicates after crossover directly. #39
3. Solve an issue in the `tournament_selection()` method as the indices of the selected parents were incorrect. #89
4. Reuse the fitness values of the previously explored solutions rather than recalculating them. This feature only works if `save_solutions=True`.
5. Parallel processing is supported. This is by the introduction of a new parameter named `parallel_processing` in the constructor of the `pygad.GA` class. Thanks to [@windowshopr](https://github.com./windowshopr) for opening the issue [#78](#78) at GitHub. Check the [Parallel Processing in PyGAD](https://pygad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/README_pygad_ReadTheDocs.html#parallel-processing-in-pygad) section for more information and examples.
