Multi-vector document search and epsilon search (for now, only in C++)
By default, there is no statistic aggregation, which speeds up the multi-threaded search (it does not seem like people are using it anyway: Issue #495).
Various bugfixes and improvements
get_items now have return_type parameter, which can be either 'numpy' or 'list'
