Prepare for 0.7.0 Release

• Update the version number in release_info.py.
• Update the CHANGELOG.rst file with the date and new version number and a description of the changes.
• Update the list of contributors in both the release_info.py and .zenodo.json files. __ Make sure that the Zenodo file is valid JSON __.
• Commit the changes and push them to the repository.
• Create a new tag with the “v” + version number (e.g. “v0.16.0”) and make a new release on GitHub.

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)

diffsims/release_info.py:1

• The version number in release_info.py has not been updated to 0.7.0 as noted in the PR description. Please bump it to match the new release.

version = "0.6.x"

.zenodo.json:1

• The list of contributors in .zenodo.json still needs to be updated per the release checklist, and the JSON should be validated after changes.
