all: standardize package contents, improving published packages
core: added build script and configuration for publishing

Bug Fixes:
io: corrected all meta data in deserializer and serializers, and corrected to use package version in meta data
io-utils: split out Blob and converted to ES5 class, added test suite
io-utils: converted BinaryReader to ES5 class
modeling: corrected extrudeWalls to ignore invalid polygons(walls) which occurs if slices overlap
modeling: corrected slice creation for negative (-x) biased shapes
regl-renderer: corrected orientation of presets
regl-renderer: adjusted default rotation rate for auto-rotate
regl-renderer: corrected entitiesFromSolids to use transforms from geometries
regl-renderer: corrected zoomToFit to ignore 2D geomerties and visual entites (draw commands)

BIG NOTE: The V2 website is also using this release.

There's on-line documentation as well for those needing additional information about the modeling API.

For those using a local copy of JSCAD V2, be sure to run the following commands.

git pull
npm run clean (and answer Y)
npm run bootstrap

Both CLI and WEB UI are usable for creating designs. In the WEB UI, it's best to drag-n-drop project folders to the window, and work with the pieces via a favorite editor. If "Enable auto reload" is checked then changes will be detected, and rendered again.

For those wanting to get hold of JSCAD V2, it's still in 'early adoption' mode. But you can get started here.

And a BIG THANKS for everyone that has provided feedback. Keep those comments coming!
