<p dir="auto">There's a new release of JSCAD, including changes from several pull requests.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Welcome TAU!</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">TAU is the true constant for relating the circumference of a circle to its linear dimension.<br />
Equivalent to PI*2. You will now find TAU throughout the code base, and mentioned in documentation.<br />
We believe TAU will make rotations simple to understand.</p>
<p dir="auto">EXAMPLE</p>
<pre><code>const { TAU } = require('@jscad/modeling').maths.constants
const { cube } = require('@jscad/modeling').primitives
const { rotate } = require('@jscad/modeling').transforms

const main = () =&gt; {
  const shape = rotate([TAU/4, TAU*0.75, TAU/24], cube({}))
  return shape
}

module.exports = {
  main
}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">For even more information about TAU, see <a href="https://tauday.com/tau-manifesto" rel="nofollow ugc">The Tau Manifesto</a></p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>modeling:</strong> added TAU constant to maths, and refactored code and documentation</li>
<li><strong>web:</strong> added chinese translations to desktop/locales and web/locales</li>
</ul>
<h4>Bug Fixes</h4>
