MAJOR Release : 2021 JUN 01

ATTENTION : MAJOR UPDATE

There's a new release of JSCAD, including MAJOR CHANGES from several pull requests.

The maths classes / APIs have been adjusted to the same API as gl-matrix. This has the following affects:

improved performance as API signatures are now fixed (no more ...params)
improved performance in the use of math objects (less allocations)
improved interoperability with gl-matrix (no need to learn a different API)

Note: See the performance results at GitHub.

If your designs use the maths API then updates are required. The function signatures for ALL maths objects have changed; line2, line3, mat4, plane, vec2, vec3, vec4.

Especially review the use of maths..transform() and maths..scale() function calls.

Designs with the largest impact are those using extrudeFromSlices(), which typically uses maths.

Features

modeling: rework math objects to conform with gl-matrix (#804)
modeling: added aboutEqualNormals() to math utils
modeling: added fromVectorRotation() to mat4
modeling: added projectionOfPoint() to plane
modeling: new project() function added to extrusions (#844)
modeling: new scission() function added to booleans (#846)

Bug Fixes

modeling: fixed use of vec3.snap in triangulatePolygons
modeling: rewrote vec3 orthogonal() to do the correct thing, and adjusted test suites
modeling: update and correct TypeScript type definitions

Special thanks to @minodisk for the TypeScript changes!
BIG THANKS to @giboneet for the initial implementation of the new scission() function.
