`0.5.0`¶

Performance Optimizations¶

Change wiggle_interval to return success bool instead of raising an exception. This allows the implicitization approach to use it without having to use exceptions for flow-control. (Fixes #22.)
Switching Fortran speedups from f2py to Cython (this is because f2py artificially limits the feature set of Fortran, i.e. user defined types)
Moving some more code to Fortran (e.g. bbox_line_intersect() 3dcf640)

Making Fortran features available outside of Python (see Native Libraries)
C headers for each Fortran module (via the bezier.get_include() function)
- Cython .pxd declarations for all Fortran modules
- libbezier static library (via the bezier.get_lib() function)
Implementing bezier_roots() polynomial root solver for polynomials written in Bernstein basis. (0dd6369)

Getting bezier published in the Journal of Open Source Science (JOSS). See review. (e6c4536 and 975ac6b)
Updating error message for locate() methods and adding a note that locate() / evaluate*() are (essentially) inverses. H/T to @pdknsk #36
Using Fortran-contiguous arrays in _check_non_simple(). (b06c78e)
Moving most of Curve.subdivide() and Surface.subdivide() logic into helpers. This is part of an effort to make all helpers take low-level data types rather than Curves, Surfaces, etc. (34515bd and 1fc80e5)
Split speedup.f90 into submodules curve.f90, surface.f90, etc. (75349b7, dfd6bba, 7096a9d, c326c00)
Adding BEZIER_JOURNAL option to setup.py. This stores a record of compiler commands invoked during installation. See Native Libraries for more details. (3d832e7 and c64a97a)
