• Fixing not passing start_instance. Bug where start_instance was not passed when provided as argument to launch_mapdl.
• Improving precision in array retrieval. The precision for arrays obtained from the MAPDL has been greatly improved.
• Allow pool to connect to remote MAPDL instances. Now you can spawn several MAPDL instances and use MapdlPool to connect to them using the port argument:

from ansys.mapdl.core.pool import LocalMapdlPool

pool = MapdlPool(2, start_instance=False, port=[50092, 50093])
print(pool)
