1.9.3 [22 December 2023]
- Improved Catalan support
- Added more missing verb conjugation templates
  - Can now conjugate 8578 verbs using 42 templates
  - TODO: Still missing templates for 38 out of 8616 verbs
  - See test_inflector_ca.test_all_verbs_have_templates
- Made Catalan inflector template matching more loose
  - Added verbecc.string_utils.get_common_letter_count
  - Now matches if template ending has len()-1 chars in common with infinitive ending (not counting accents)
  - E.g. Not just aure and eure match, but also çar and cer
- Enhanced conjugation template syntax: now supports stem-changing verbs through two new features:
- 1. New stem-modifying XML attribute: modify-stem="strip-accents"
- 1. Stem-modifying delete operator '-'
- e.g.
```
<template name="conèix:er" modify-stem="strip-accents">
    <passat-simple>
    <p><i>--guí</i></p>
```
- With the above template, conèix + --guí = jo coneguí and reconèix + --guí = jo reconeguí
- Added gender flag to support feminine pronouns
- Modified to put - placeholder in conjugation for tenses that aren't conjugated e.g.
```
"caldre",
"indicatiu",
"present",
False,
"f",
[
"-",
"-",
"ella cal",
"-",
"-",
"elles calen",
]
```
