Summary description: TikZ-native shapes and anchors for classical physics diagrams
Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------
tikzphysics 1.2.0 adds reusable per-object defaults, native to[over pulley=P] connections, wedge contact and tangent/normal anchors, and mechanics primitives including supports, pendulums, and motion arrows. The new show anchors, show keys, and physicshelp features provide in-picture discovery of supported keys and anchors. A rewritten manual includes a beginner quickstart, complete systems, and a 31-feature reference.
Migration: spring is now a path decoration, used as \draw[spring] (A) -- (B);, instead of a spring node. Spring leads may be zero. Blocks default to 1cm square and pulleys to 1cm diameter. This release also fixes prism centroid and face-midpoint anchors.
