Mephisto 1.2.0

Overview

This release is focused on adding a new provider (Prolific) and better data review experience.
It has a larger diff than usual, and we will return to a more frequent release cadence afterwards.

See the list of changes when upgrading from v1.1.0 below. Note that only essential dependency updates are listed.

Big Changes

• Added integration with Prolific provider, as an alternative to Mturk for data collection. Expect some minor additions in the subsequent releases, but the core functionality is already there. #1008
• Added UI-driven review of collected task results, a major upgrade over the previously used command-line script. Support for bonuses and feedback for workers to be added in the subsequent releases. When jobs have had no activity for a set duration, they'll be shut down automatically (suspecting an issue). #1058
• Added dockerization support for running Mephisto. #1008
