Release Notes v9194-v9449

The QuantConnect team has focused on stability and bug fixes in the last two weeks. Diving deep into lingering issues, publishing fixes, and additional regression tests to lock in that stability. We also surpassed 10,000 unit tests giving the platform a rock-solid foundation for expansion!

A few highlights were finally merged into production LEAN. First, we set up continuous integration to generate Python stubs for QCAlgorithm, giving your favorite code editor autocomplete on the QCAlgorithm API. Second, we've rebased, polished, and merged Binance Exchange integration into LEAN and are excited to publish it to QuantConnect in the coming weeks. Finally, we've optimized specific intensive methods to add a 10% speed boost to LEAN.
