What is new?

The function change_fossil_carbon_flows_of_biofuels (in modify_inventory.py) changes fossil carbon emissions to biogenic carbon emissions if biofuels are used in the foreground.
Metadata has been added at the beginning of AMPL files (in normalized_lca_metric from normalization.py and generate_lci_obj from generate_lci_obj_ampl.py).
Correction of CA-QC heat flows in the ecoinvent database for global markets (in remove_quebec_flow_in_global_heat_market from modify_inventory.py).
Option added to check for duplicated activities in terms of (product, name, location) tuple when merging several databases (in merge_databases from utils.py).
A specific category for imports and exports has been added in technology_specifics.csv to avoid their regionalization to the ESM geography.

What has changed?

The efficiency harmonization functions (in adapt_efficiency.py) can now accept multiple types of input flows instead of just one.
The arguments of the regionalization functions have been renamed to differentiate between regionalization and spatialization.
Renamed AMPL files (by default, techs_lcia.dat and objectives.mod are used regardless of the LCIA method employed).
For AMPL files generation, the refactor parameter is computed based on the LCA indicator data rather than being a user input.
