| Version | Published | Release Notes | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.2.8 | Now gives R = Inf , k = [0;0;0] whenever three consecutive points are in line.
|
||
| 1.2.7 | Bug fix |
||
| 1.2.6 | Inspired by the comment by @Fei Chen I now check if starting and end points are equal. If so, I calculate results for this point as well. In previous versions, starting and end point values were always NaN. |
||
| 1.2.5 | Changed title to make it clearer. |
||
| 1.2.4 | Fixed typos in accompanying note. |
||
| 1.2.3 | Yet another mixup: Correct heading this time |
||
| 1.2.2 | Uploaded wrong file in v. 1.2.1 |
||
| 1.2.1 | Corrected minor bug in circumcenter function. It now runs faster for a single output (R) than for more. Results remain unchanged. |
||
| 1.2.0 | The code is simplified and about 30% faster. The derivation of the mathematical model is included as a separate document. The output is identical to version 1.1. |
||
| 1.1.1 | Forgot to update image |
||
| 1.1.0 | The direction of the curvature vector in version 1.0 was very wrong. Corrected in version 1.1 |
||
| 1.0.1 | Improved image |
||
| 1.0.0 |
