Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Changed
- triangle
- Changed the order of returned points for `reflections`
and `projections`: (1 → pa, 2 → pb, 3 → pc).
- Added methods returning directly the vertices of special
triangles:
- `orthic_points()`
- `medial_points()`
- `tangential_points()`
- circle
- Modification of the `point` method.
Added an optional point parameter to specify the
reference point on the circle.
Documentation
- Reorganized the method descriptions in the **point** class,
especially for utility methods and the `rotation` method.
- Fixed an incorrect example of the `PPP` method in the
**point** class.
- Section 16.4.1 (Parabola construction):
corrected `bisector of angle HMF` (instead of `angle HFT`).
- Section 7.3 (Use of Trilinear Coordinates):
corrected `projection` → `projections` in the code.
Thanks to :SwiftWu for these remarks.
- Added documentation for the `print` method.
