• What's New in v0.10.0

  This release expands what FiberPath can wind and formalizes its formats:

  • Cone winding — reducing cones/frustums via an optional endDiameter, wound as closed-form geodesics (the first developable surface beyond the cylinder).
  • .wind is now an open format — a normative specification with a published, major-versioned JSON Schema and a machine-checkable conformance corpus.
  • Machine profiles — a versioned compatibility contract describing what a controller must support; G-code now emits a self-describing G21/G90/G94 preamble.
  • Desktop polish — double-click a .wind file to open it, plus branded app icons.
