Work complete, currently working on reconciling revisions with VEState revisions, see PR#222
Will update tutorial, test, and pull through to master asap

Pie charts replaced with bar charts, see #203
Finalizing VERSPM integration
- Expected to complete the VERSPM side of it by next Wednesday
- Will likely need to make a few updates to the visualizer as a result
Will merge to develop after we get VEGUI integrated released, see PR#223

See Brian's notes
- A standardized approach to module documentation has been developed
- Changing DevType to LocType throughout VE-RSPM code
- Created a VESimLandUseData Package
- Estimating the models for synthesizing Bzones
- Created an Initialize module
- CreateSimBzones module created
- A new module test setup has been developed
VEState merged into develop branch: VEState required some changes to modules that are shared with VERSPM. Hassle to handle in separate branches. Only reason to separate was difficulty in managing testing VERSPM and VESTATE in same branch.
New test setup developed. Rather than have test data (defs, inputs, datastore) reside in tests directory, it is in modules/Test_Data in a subdirectory for the model (e.g. VE-RSPM, VE-State). When test script is run, these datasets are copied into the tests directory and tests are run. Each model has its own test script. Some new functions to assist. Test logs and model state file are stored in a directory with the model name in tests. See the VESimHouseholds/tests for example.

See Jeremy's add-on issue to construct a standalone VisionEval installer that can work on all platforms where you can install R 3.5.1.
See latest version at VisionEval/VE-Installer and installer here
Allow model and inputs+defs to reside in different directories. PR#215
Inspired in part by the old RPAT Inno Setup installer RPAT
@Jeremy and @Matt to work through process Monday
We decided to work on merging this with our Travis setup and post releases for deployment. This may mean using Docker with Travis and GitHub releases.
@Jeremy and @RSG to work on integrating installer build and deployment into the Travis setup after completing GUI and ScenarioViewer work
