Restore populations with a new config file #174

Closed stokatyan closed 5 years ago

stokatyan commented 5 years ago

Change:

This PR allows for using a new config file when restoring a population from a checkpoint.

Reason:

This feature can be useful when updating the configuration parameters after a particular checkpoint. For example, there may be a case where after a particular checkpoint it is better to lower the compatibility_threshold, or increase the max_stagnation.
