Release 0.3
Enhancements =========== - Unified Inch Screw Threads Fixes =========== - PCO-1881 internal (minor diameter was too small) - Dpitch problem with G-ext threads Improvements =========== - developer docs - build system - unit tests - user does not need to rotate internal threads by 180 deg anymore to fit external thread !! Incompatibel changes !! ==================== We take the liberty to do this while the major version is still 0: - internal thread is rotated by 180 deg (see improvements). nut() and bolt() are not affected by this
