v4.8.0

This is an important update with improvements for reporting of policy indicators, including:

• policy quality scores are now correctly presented with half-score decimal points where these are required (e.g. 16.5/62 was previously incorrectly truncated to16/62; this representation has been corrected) (#515 )
• if policies are not identified, the reporting checklist now records these as 'X' instead of '-' (#514)
• distinct summaries for policy, spatial, and policy-spatial combined reports can now be tailored for the respective templates (#513)
• a stand-alone function ghsci.generate_policy_report(xlsx, options) is now provided to allow generation of policy indicator reports without need to configure and analyse a study region (#462)
• draft policy indicator reports can also now be generated as required from within the GHSCI app by selecting an xlsx file (however, customisation still requires command line usage) (#462)

It is recommended that users who have generated policy reports using the updated templates (since October 2023) consider re-preparing their reports using the updated formatting. All users may consider regenerating reports to use customised summaries for the various policy and spatial indicator templates.
