[cilib-devel] Changes merged into master

[Gary P. <gpa...@gm...>]

Hi all,

This is an update to highlight the recent changes that have been merged into 
master. Please take note of the following:

* Initialization strategies *
All Population based algorithms perform some sort of initialization. This may 
vary from a simple candidate solution random initialization to the  
initialization of a particle's velocity. Please note that the initialization 
strategies have been generalized into a single package. Please inspect the 
net.sourceforge.cilib.entity.initialization package to see the new generalized 
strategies.

* Functions *
Functions have been made generic. The format of the interface has been altered 
to be Function<From, To>.

As an example, ContinuousFunction is actually a Function<Vector, Double> 
whereby a Vector is converted into a Double value based on some quantization 
process (like the fitness calculation).

Regards,
Gary
