Weekly Release - The Usual Rabbit Hole
The simplification of the core data structures, currently focused on HalfEdge and its neighbors in the object graph, continues (#1525). I fell down the usual rabbit hole of finding more work that needs to be done, before I can do the work that I need to do.
This hasn't resulted in any big moves on #1525 itself last week, but there were a bunch of cleanups, improved error messages, and so on. I have some more substantial work in local branches that weren't ready to be merged yet, and I expect more movement there this week.
