• Feature: allow to pass unparsed commandline string to ex.run_commandline.
• Feature: improved stdout/stderr capturing: it now also collects non-python
  outputs and logging.
• Feature: observers now share the id of a run and it is available during
  runtime as run._id.
• Feature: new --print_config flag to always print config first

  (The name is still required for interactive mode)
• API Change: Artifacts can now be named, and are stored by the observers under
  that name.
• API Change: Experiment.run_command is deprecated in favor of run, which now
  also takes a command_name parameter.

• Bugfix: fixed a random crash of the heartbeat thread (see #101).
• Feature: added --force/-f option to disable errors and warnings concerning
  suspicious changes. (thanks to Yannic Kilcher)
• Feature: experiments can now be run in Jupyter notebook, but will fail with

  and applies backspaces and linefeeds before saving like a terminal
  would. (thanks to Kevin McGuinness)
