…mpi (#1367)

* Renaming replay_ser to ascent_replay and replay_mpi to ascent_replay_mpi

* Adding replay name changes to the change log

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -21,6 +21,9 @@ and this project aspires to adhere to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/s
 - Added `near_plane` and `far_plane` to the camera details provided in Ascent::info()
 - Added `add_mpi_ranks` and `add_domain_ids` filters for adding rank and domain fields to a mesh
 
+### Changed
+- Changed the replay utility's binary names such that `replay_ser` is now `ascent_replay` and `raplay_mpi` is now `ascent_replay_mpi`. This will help prevent potential name collisions with other tools that also have replay utilities. 
+
 ### Fixed
 - Resolved a few cases where MPI_COMM_WORLD was used instead instead of the selected MPI communicator.
 - Resolved a bug where a sharing a coordset between multiple polytopal topologies would corrupt mesh processing.
