Release including the following update(s) since v1.2.0: * Introduced vecmem::synchronized_memory_resource; - It uses a simple mutex to execute operations on its upstream memory resource serially; * Introduced vecmem::pool_memory_resource; - It is a copy of thrust::mr::disjointunsynchronizedpool_resource, modified to work as a vecmem::memory_resource; * Various updates and fixes to the HIP and SYCL build configuration.

https://github.com/acts-project/vecmem - VecMem 1.2.0

Release including the following update(s) since v1.1.0: - Added the previously missing const_data type to vecmem::edm::container; - Made vecmem::edm::data objects movable; - Changed how a lot of the templating in vecmem::copy would work; * Functions copying between two templated types are no longer ensuring through static_assert-s that the template types would be compatible with each other. Instead, these functions now use "a single" template type, and explicitly ask for constant views to be copied from, and non-constant views/containers to be copied into. Leaving it up to the view code to do any necessary type conversion itself. * This fixed an issue that prevented copying from a constant vecmem::edm::view object into a non-const one.

Release including the following update(s) since v1.0.0: - Made vecmem::details::aligned_multiple_placement work correctly with more than two types/arrays. - Fixed the logic for setting the size of a buffer with vecmem::copy. Making sure that the correct "copy direction" would be used in all circumstances. - Made SYCL source file builds generate and use dependency files correctly. To ensure that header file changes would trigger re-builds correctly. - Introduced vecmem::tuple as a lightweight tuple implementation, which works in device code. * The code is a copy of detray::tuple with some small modifications. * Empty tuples are not supported, as they were not needed so far. - Introduced the vecmem::edm namespace, and a whole set of classes/traits/functions therein, for efficient SoA EDM declarations. * While having taught vecmem::copy how to handle such SoA types as efficiently as possible.

After the recent slight ABI changes around the memory resources, which ABI should be easier to keep stable, this is the first "proper release" of the project.

The changes since v0.27.0 are: - Changed / narrowed how various public classes export their symbols. Allowing for the removal of all warning suppressions from the public headers. - Fixed a warning on Windows in one of the CUDA tests. - Updated the project to use an AlmaLinux 9 based developer container with VS Code, and modernised the project's VS Code configuration slightly at the same time.
