The changelog only keeps track of updates post version 0.1.4

[Unreleased]

[0.2.0] - 2021-08-30

Major

• Dropped python 2.7 support as there is no further reason to with a complete rewrite of typehints.

Changed

• amath module is renamed to geometry
• PixelPainter class is renamed to mask
• geometry - Matrix classes now supports attribute and index fetching m.x or m[0] or m["x"] as part of the __getitem__ routine.
• screen - DispWindow renamed to screen.WindowsControl, screen.DispMacOS and screen.DispLinux is generalized to screen.UnixControl. Displayable is renamed to Screen.
• Built-in render and collision methods provided acquires color from object.color and acquires texture from object.texture
• Rendering methods are completely re-written in a way optimized for coloring

Added

• utils - Added a Profiler class which utilizes a tiny wrapper class that uses cProfile and pstats from the stdlib and allows a form of context manager to gather the statistics of the application and dump it elsewhere. Color - general means of coloring components of the console
• geometry - Projection and rotational matrixes, geometry.X_ROTO_MATRIX, geometry.Y_ROTO_MATRIX, geometry.Z_ROTO_MATRIX, geometry.PROJE_MATRIX. these are further implemented by geometry.project_3D and geometry.rotate_3D
• screen - Screen.refresh used to write directly in a low level operation onto stdout with cursor at the origin (the frame system remains the same)
• values - ANSI provides variou ANSI escape code as hex code for chaning escape sequences to will
• devices - Keyboard and Mouse module provides handling input and output on those devices ~ Mic and Audio will be implemented later down the line.
• planes - Rasterizer, Collidable implemented (they used to be generalized as part of Plane)

Removed

• planes.Rectangle
• utils.caches - use functools.lru_cache
• _2D.methods directory is removed and specific methods are now stitched to relevant objects, this includes collision physics and rasturizing.

[0.1.5] - 2021-08-13

Notes

• This is the last update until major release 0.2, which is expected to feature 3D elements at first hand and a more concrete structure definition, although there are possibilities of bug fixing releases before it.

Added

• amath.Line - a simple abstract representation of a mathemathical line from two points, this isn't subclassed under Plane because it isn't a graphical model
• planes.Triangle - simple class that implements amath.Line classes
• amath - module in the general scope for optimized arithmetic
• amath.Matrix - the genesis of all 3D objects and concepts for the future ;) supports all operable actions with and on itself and other compatible types
• An installable extension package which is a code interpolator that condenses any post version 0.1.4 distributions of the library into one singular .py file that can be shipped off readily. The condensed python contains version information, resolved relative dependencies, system dependencies and licenses as well ~ it will also support the submodule importing syntax e.g. from Asciinpy._2D import Plane; as it makes-up classes under the namespace of the sub packages with their contents defined.

Changed

• Objects are now appropriately categorized onto their respective sub-packages (_2D and _3D)if said dimensions are an integral part of differientiating and using them ~ objects lower than 2D are put in the general scope, this is for example why utils and amath aren't categorized into dimensions.
• 2D specific models are now subclassed under Plane which is a renamed class of version 0.1.4 Model ~ while the 3D base model class is named Model.
