Summary     : OpenSCAD Parametric CAD Library
Description :
This library contains components commonly used in designing and moching up
mechanical designs. It is currently unfinished and you can expect some API
changes, however many things are already working.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

**Language Features:**
* Added diameter argument: circle(d), cylinder(d, d1, d2) and sphere(d)
* Added parent_module() and $parent_modules
* Added children() as a replacement for child()
* Unicode strings (using UTF-8) are now correctly handled
* Ranges can have a negative step value
* Added norm() and cross() functions

**Program Features:**
* Cmd-line: --info parameter prints system/library info
* Cmd-line: --csglimit parameter to change CSG rendering limit
* Cmd-line: Better handling of cmd-line arguments under Windows
* GUI: Added Reset View
* GUI: Added Search&Replace in editor
* GUI: Syntax highlighting now has a dark background theme
* GUI: We now create a backup file before rendering to allow for recovery if OpenSCAD crashes/freezes
* GUI: Accessibility features enabled (e.g. screenreading)

**Bugfixes/improvements:**
* Reading empty STL files sometimes caused a crash
* OPENSCADPATH now uses semicolon as path separator under Windows
* polyhedron() is now much more robust handling almost planar polygons
* Automatic reloads of large designs are more robust
* Boolean logic in if() statements are now correctly short-circuited
* rands() with zero range caused an infinite loop
* resize(, auto=true) didn't work when shrinking objects
* The $children variable sometimes misbehaved due to dynamic scoping
* The --camera cmd-line option behaved differently then the corresponding GUI function
* PNG export now doesn't leak transparency settings into the target image
* Improved performance of 3D hull() operations
* Some editor misbehaviors were fixed
* Stability fixes of CGAL-related crashes
* Windows cmd-line can now handle spaces in filenames
* Default CSG rendering limit is now 100K elements
* Fixed a crash reading DXF files using comma as decimal separator
* Fixed a crash running the cmd-line without a HOME env. variable
* Intersecting something with nothing now correctly results in an empty object

**Deprecations:**
* child() is no longer supported. Use children() instead.
* polyhedron(triangles=[...]): Use polyhedron(faces=[...]) instead.
