Changes in 0.1.6

This patch release combines compatible loading, geometry, and interaction fixes. Existing designs remain compatible and keep their saved extrusion operations.

• Desktop design loading and STEP import run in the background, keeping the interface responsive while geometry is rebuilt.
• Home recents load thumbnails from a separate PNG cache. New saves no longer embed large base64 thumbnails in the design JSON.
• Additive extrusions default to Join when the active component already has a solid. Automatic Cut remains available when extruding into material; choose New Body explicitly for a separate addition.
• Joined elbows merge adjacent coplanar faces. Circular bosses flush with a case rim share one continuous top face without shifting the boss above the rim.
• Fillets and chamfers handle more sloped pocket and basin rim connections.
• Timeline modifier hover and selection highlight the affected geometry. The view cube uses minimal turns and supports dragging to orbit.
• Documentation, the browser app, and the Flatpak repository now deploy together.

SolveCraft is open-source parametric 3D CAD in Rust: sketch, constrain, extrude, and change a
parameter to watch the timeline rebuild. Documentation

Which file?

• Windows: SolveCraft-0.1.6-windows-x64.exe runs as is. Or install the .msi, or unzip the
  -portable.zip (x64, x86 and arm64).
• macOS 11+ (Apple silicon and Intel): open the .dmg and drag SolveCraft onto Applications.
  The CLI is in solvecraft-cli-0.1.6-macos-universal.zip.
• Linux (x86_64 and aarch64, glibc 2.35+): the .AppImage (chmod +x, then run it), the
  .deb or .rpm, the .flatpak (flatpak install --user <file>), or the .tar.gz.
• FreeBSD: tar -xzf solvecraft-0.1.6-freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C /usr/local.
• Web: solvecraft-web-0.1.6.zip is a static site to host yourself.
• SHA256SUMS.txt: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt --ignore-missing.

The builds aren't signed yet. On macOS, right-click SolveCraft in Applications and choose
Open the first time (or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SolveCraft.app).
On Windows, SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": More info, then Run anyway.
Licences are built in (Help ▸ About ▸ Licences, solvecraft-cli licences); the packages also
install THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt. Known limitations:
ROADMAP.md.
