This major release of BRL-CAD introduces significant updates to
geometry conversion support. The update includes modernization for
NURBS importing and interaction, BoT manipulation, and incorporates
many new formats for importing and exporting to BRL-CAD database
files.

The geometry conversion tool (GCV) now supports mesh importing
from: 3D, 3DS, 3MF, AC, AMF, ASE, ASSBIN, B3D, BVH, COB, COLLADA, CSM,
FBX, GLTF/GLB 1.0 + 2.0, HMP, IFC-STEP, IQM, IRR, IRRMESH, LWO, LWS,
M3D, MD2, MD3, MD5, MDC, MDL, MMD, MS3D, NDO, NFF, OFF, OGRE, OPENGEX,
Q3BSP, Q3D, RAW, SIB, SMD, TERRAGEN, X, X3D, XGL.
Additionally, GCV now supports mesh exporting to: 3DS, 3MF, ASSBIN,
ASSJSON, ASSXML, COLLADA, GLTF, PBRT, STEP, X, X3D.

This release also introduces new BoT subcommands to improve
manipulation and preparation. The subdivision "subd" command
incorporates 5 new subdivision algorithms. The "flip" command will
flip surface normals - effectively turning the BoT 'inside out'.
Lastly, the "smooth" command will smooth the BoT's topology.
