In the upcoming v1.1 I will release the Spiral Optimization algorithm. An explanation and visualization can be found on [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_optimization_algorithm). The current source code of this new algorithm for Gradient-Free-Optimizers...

I looked into a way to add more acquisition functions for the sequence model-based optimization algorithms. In the current version 1.0 the only acquisition function is the expected improvement. Since...

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** Hi, I really like the look of this library and am interested in using it in the context of optimization...

enhancement

The number of initial positions should be automatically increased if n_population increases. It will reduce the steps the user needs to take to change this parameter.

enhancement

There appears to be a bug in the initial sampler of the sequence-model-based optimization algorithms that only occurs in the "test_large_search_space.py"-tests. This is the error: ```python gradient_free_optimizers/search.py:96: in search self.search_step(nth_trial)...

In this issue I will show the progress of adding support for continuous parameter ranges in the search-space. For most optimization algorithms it should be easy to add support for...
