1.0 reaches main

Improvements:

• Allow setting maxSize and innerWidthMultiplier from the translation layer. This was only possible to use with the "ES6 module" version of the library
• Allow setting a custom extent (#52)
• Add default viewpoint (#61)
• Improve performance of uniformPolyhedrons' edges (#62)
• Improve performance of coplanar polygons (#63)
• Improve performance of cones by ~6x (#64)
• Improve performance of arrows (#66)
• Improve performance of cylinders (#67)
• Add default colors to primitives and lights (#75)
• Improve performance of shaders by inlining some uniforms (#79)
• Update three.js to r137 (#80)

Internals:

• Convert all materials to ShaderMaterial/RawShaderMaterial (#53)
• Move some shaders to shader.js (#54)
• Replace BoxGeometry with lower-level BufferGeometry (#56)
• Update minify to version 8
• Simplify lighting structs in shaders (#76)

Documentation:

• Move the documentation to this repository and make it more interactive
• Add more examples (#59)

Bug fixes:

• Correctly calculate the bounding box for primitives with scaled coordinates and radius bigger than the bounding box (#60)
• Fix cones lighting (#65)
• Scale axes ticks position (#74)

Happy 2022!

Improvements:

• Change the API revision to 1.2
• Allow setting maxSize and innerWidthMultiplier from the translation layer. This was only possible to use with the "ES6 module" version of the library
• Allow setting a custom extent (#52)
• Update three.js to r136

New features:

• Add edgeForm to polygons (#50)
• Add vertexNormals to polygons (#51)
• Add dashed and gapSize to lines (#55)

Internals:

• Convert all materials to ShaderMaterial/RawShaderMaterial (#53)
• Move some shaders to shader.js (#54)
• Replace BoxGeometry with the lower-level BufferGeometry (#56)

Documentation:

• Move the documentation to this repository and make it more interactive

Improve polygons rendering

Improvements:

• Allow non-axis-parallel coplanar polygons. Before mathics-threejs-backend could only handle coplanar polygons with all x, y, or z coordinates the same. Now it can handle all coplanar polygons without holes

Internals:

• Replace MeshStandardMaterial by a custom ShaderMaterial in polygons
• Allow setting the port for the server (npm start-server [port])

Bug fixes:

• Stop hiding polygons behind other polygons

Update three.js to r135

Improvements:

• Update three.js to r135

Internals:

• Update BackstopJS to 6.x
• Remove duplicated error when npm test fails (#46)
• Add build-fast script for debugging purposes, this doesn't mangle the function and variable names
• Move some functions to lights.js for better organization
• Move some functions to the new axes.js file for better organization

Fix bug in revision version checking

Fix bug in revision checking and improve warning message when revision is wrong.

First LTS version

We are happy in announce 1.0.0!

New features:

• Add edgeForm to cylinders (#32)
• Add cones (#38)
• Add tubes (#40)

Improvements:

• Update three.js to r132 (#32)
• Improve package.json (#26, #33)
• Improve the documentation and add live examples without downloading (#37)
• Improve protocol version checking (#41)
• Decrease spheres RAM usage
• Set spheres default radius to 1

Bug fixes:

• Fix bug in camera rotation (introduced in 0.5.2)
• Fix bug in axes
• Fix bug in arrow color
• Fix bug in the spotlight position when moving the camera around
• Remove point light's visible sphere (#24). As @axkr mentioned in #16, it isn't expected

Internals:

• More intensive use of custom shader. Custom shaders are faster and more flexible
• Split primitives.js into multiple files (#28). Thanks to @rocky for the idea
• Replace InstancedMesh by the lower-level InstancedBufferGeometry
