  The return is in seconds from now on.
* fix: The number of evaluations was recorded as 0 in the log messages when the search space was empty.
* feat: Add a `as.data.table.DictionaryOptimizer()` function.
* feat: New `$help()` method which opens the manual page of an `Optimizer`.

# bbotk 0.5.0

* feat: Add `$nds_selection()` method to `Archive`.
* feat: New `Codomain` class that allows extra parameters.
* refactor: Objective values were automatically named.
  From now on, only unnamed returns of `ObjectiveRFun` are named.
* fix: `OptimInstance`, `Archive` and `Objective` objects  were not cloned properly.
* refactor: The fields `$param_classes`, `$properties` and `$packages` of `Optimizer` objects are read-only now.
* feat: The `branin()` function is exported now.
