Trajectory parameters now pull introspection data from constituent phases even under MPI.
Phase parameters now allow for a mixture of static and dynamic targets.
Deprecated static_target in favor of static_targets which is a set of those targets which are static.**
Previously option static_target was an all-or-nothing setting for a parameter.
Now option static_targets is a set of targets to which the connection is treated as a static one (not sized with the number of nodes in the phase.
Dymos will use introspection to attempt to determine which targets are static.
static_targets may still be provided as an "all-or-nothing" True or False option.
Changes to internal method _get_targets_metadata
The method now returns a dictionary keyed by target path and associated with metadata (shape, units, value, tags) of the given target.
Added new introspection method _get_common_metadata
This method will accept targets and a metadata key, and then return the value of the given metadata key if it is shared across all targets. This is useful when trying to infer the units or shape of a parameter.
Changes to ODEEvaluationGroup
Under the ExplicitShooting transcription, ODEEvaluationGroup is required to perform its own introspection since its configure method occurs before that of the parent phase. This group is now passed copies of the time, state, control, and parameter options dictionaries of the parent phase, so that results of its introspection will not conflict with those of the parent phase.
