Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
The spacemouse driver, particularly on Mac, is extremely unstable and
causes crashes even when not being used. This places the interface
behind an advanced config flag to ensure that users can affirmatively
opt-in to the potential for crashes
CHANGED: Instead of using the target style pivot that is used to move the
look at position, a different pivot is used for the center of rotation
used by the 3dmouse. Both pivots, the camera look at position and the
3dmouse rotation pivot, need not necessarily coincide. A blue ball is used
to represent the pivot.
Move the camera out to its own so that everything else is board-
related, and then rename BOARD_ADAPTER.
At some point the flags should probably be moved out too, and they
can have the EDA_3D_SETTINGS name.
* Split and rewrite the preview window and canvas.
* Create a new class for handling the board information.
* Adds new render targets: openGL, legacy, and ray tracing.
* Render targets take full advantage of the new 3D plugins system and 3D cache
for a fast 3D model loading.
* Faster board loading.
* New OpenGL render is faster than the old one.
* New ray tracing render target with a post processing shader.
* Use of new 3D plugins (WRL, X3D, STEP and IGES) and 3D model caching.
* Preview of 3D model while browsing the file name.
* 3D preview of the footprint while adding / align 3D shapes.
* Render of 3D models according to attributes: Normal, Normal+Insert, Virtual.
* Pivot rotation centered in one point over the PCB board.
* Shortcuts keys improved for XYZ orientation..
* Animated camera.
