Four Weeks in to the Second Half Report

We have finally merged in the C port of the Monte Carlo routines in to the main TARDIS repository and made it the default. All the final bugs were resolved and hopefully this will let us collect user feedback and gather any information about bugs that were introduced and performance improvements that were achieved. This more or less concludes the coding part of the GSoC and all that is left is to fix any remaining bugs, write documentation and react to users requests. Another potential area of issues is the difference between GCC and clang compilers. For example previously we had issues with clang treating inline keyword differently. Currently I am working on using TARDIS to fit synthetic spectra to observed supernova spectra using various optimization algorithms which also provides a good test for the implemented functionality.
