[Full Changelog](https://github.com/arez/arez/compare/v0.102...v0.103)

Changes in this release:

* **\[core\]** Add the utility method `ArezContext.isTrackingTransactionActive()`.
* **\[core\]** Change the implementation of `readOutsideTransaction` parameter on the `@Observable`
  annotation so that `arez.Observable.reportObserved()` will only be invoked in a tracking transaction
  (i.e. when an `arez.Observer` created the transaction). Thus `@Action` annotated methods that only
  access observables that set the `readOutsideTransaction` parameter to `true` and and neither access
  nor modify other arez elements no longer need to be annotated with `@Action` annotations.
