Updated the CHANGES for minfx 1.0.4.

Minfx version 1.0.4.

This is a major feature release with Python 3 support and the addition of the logarithmic barrier
augmented function constraint algorithm. All of the package, module, class, function, and method
docstrings have been updated to Epydoc format to improve the documentation at
http://home.gna.org/minfx/. A few bugs have also been eliminated, and the printouts have been
regularised.

Regularised the printout of iteration information by the new base_classes.print_iter() function.

This prints out the print prefix, the iteration number, the parameter array, and function value.
All algorithms now use this function.

Created an implementation of the logarithmic barrier augmented function optimisation algorithm.

The function convergence test now no longer requires a gradient value.

This argument is now a keyword defaulting to None, as it is not used by the func_test() method, but
may still be passed in.
