v0.6.2

Changes:

• Add a spacier.util module, and add / reorganize relevant functionality
  • move (most) spacy_util functions here, and add a deprecation warning to
    the spacy_util module
  • rename normalized_str() => get_normalized_text(), for consistency and clarity
  • add a function to split long texts up into chunks but combine them into
    a single Doc. This is a workaround for a current limitation of spaCy's
    neural models, whose RAM usage scales with the length of input text.
• Add experimental support for reading and writing spaCy docs in binary format,
  where multiple docs are contained in a single file. This functionality was
  supported by spaCy v1, but is not in spaCy v2; I've implemented a workaround
  that should work well in most situations, but YMMV.
• Package documentation is now "officially" hosted on GitHub pages. The docs
  are automatically built on and deployed from Travis via doctr, so they
  stay up-to-date with the master branch on GitHub. Maybe someday I'll get
  ReadTheDocs to successfully build textacy once again...
  • Minor improvements/updates to documentation

Bugfixes:

• Add missing return statement in deprecated text_stats.flesch_readability_ease()
  function (Issue #191)
• Catch an empty graph error in bestcoverage-style keyterm ranking (Issue #196)
• Fix mishandling when specifying a single named entity type to in/exclude in
  extract.named_entities (Issue #202)
• Make networkx usage in keyterms module compatible with v1.11+ (Issue #199)
