v0.21.0#

This release adds support for Albumentations-based augmentations and improves bounding box handling in JATICDetectionAugmentation. New example notebooks and significant documentation updates improve usability and coverage. CI/CD and testing workflows were streamlined, including migration to pyright and Syrupy. Several bugs were fixed, and dependencies updated to meet program standards.
