Backport trivial changes and release python bindings 2.5.1? #203
Description
Since there is a v2.5.1 release of preCICE we technically should also offer a corresponding release of the python bindings. To wrap-up the version 2 release cycle I think we could also backport the following fixes:
Change versioning scheme description in the README #199- Lint markdown files and update files correspondingly. #180
- Adapt Docker workflow #186
- Add Cython as dependency required during installation #177
- Require setuptools>=61 #207
- Restrict to numpy < 2 and setuptools < 72 for better compatibiltiy with CI pipeline #213
- a6d3a80
I came up with this list after a very brief inspection of the features contained in the current latest release. Using the three digit versioning scheme makes everything clearer and, therefore, I see here quite a benefit on the long run. If backporting some of the features/fixes above single turns out problematic, we can, of course, just drop it.
