Release Note - Version [0.10.0]

Important Note: This release includes breaking changes to many classes' __eq__ and __hash__ methods to have coherent values and for performance improvement purposes. For example, if now you want to verify if two points are equal to a certain tolerance, you should no longer do that using the == operator, but using our method is_close passing in the other point and a tolerance. Also, if you are working with a list of points, and you are using a certain tolerance for considering duplicated points, you can make use of our volmdlr.core.point_in_list function to do so. Other functions have been added to help you work with a list of points. You may check it out in our core module.

Performance Improvements:

BSplineCurve now includes the compilation of some functions used by from_points_interpolation classmethod.
BSplineSurface3D now includes the compilation of some functions used in the evaluation of a parametric point.
Eq and hash methods are now fixed, starting from classes Point and Vector.
BSplinecurve2D now includes point_belongs.
Some dicts with optional names are now lightened.
Step reader now includes a refactor to_volume_model. It removes the dependency of the method of creating a graph.

Refactorings:

ContourMixin now includes to_polygon for both 2D and 3D.
BSplineCurve2D now includes point_distance.
A new dataclass EdgeStyle is now used in several plot methods. It simplifies its structure.

Unittests:

BSplineCurve2D now includes offset, point_distance, and point_belongs.
Circle2D now includes bspline_intersections and point_distance.
Vector2D now includes unittests.
Point2D now includes unittests.
Vector3D now includes unittests.
Point3D now includes unittests.
LineSegment3D, LineSegment2D, Arc3D, Arc2D, BSpline3D, and BSpline2D now include get_shared_section() and
