[2022-02-10 - Version 1.0.7](https://github.com/microsoft/scenepic/releases/tag/v1.0.7)
Point release improving `MeshUpdate` thus adding the ability to update colors
per frame along with some minor additions.
New Features:
- Can now updated colors per frame for both meshes and instanced meshes
- `quaternion_multiply` adds the long-missing code to combine quaternion rotations
- `Camera.orbit` creates a sequence of orbiting cameras around a central point

[2021-12-11 - Version 1.0.6](https://github.com/microsoft/scenepic/releases/tag/v1.0.6)
Point release adding new camera mode as well as some improvements.
Improvements:
- There is now a new camera control mode, "First Person", accessible by pressing
<kbd>Tab</kbd>, which enables mouse-look and `wasdqe` movement controls
(closes 22). The old mode, now called "Focus", is still available as the default.
- Font scale is now configurable on `VideoWriter`
- There is now a "reset camera" button on the control bar so that users without
a keyboard can reset camera position
[2021-11-16 - Version 1.0.5](https://github.com/microsoft/scenepic/releases/tag/v1.0.5)
Point release adding per-frame layer settings.

[2021-10-26 - Version 1.0.3](https://github.com/microsoft/scenepic/releases/tag/v1.0.3)
Bug fix release:
- Coordinate axes bug (4)
- Negative angle bug
- Mesh Update for instanced meshes (8)
[2021-10-20 - Version 1.0.2](https://github.com/microsoft/scenepic/releases/tag/v1.0.2)
Point release adding additional wheels to support Apple Silicon and some
minor UI changes.
Improvements:
- The dropdown menu visibility can be directly controlled via `UIParameters`
- A `standalone` parameter has been added to `save_as_script` to enable the
creation of standalone scripts.
- The `status_bar_visibility` of a `Scene` can now be set (i.e. it is not
possible to hide the status bar if desired.)
Bug Fixes:
- While transparent backgrounds were supported by the library, it was
not exposed via the client APIs. This has been fixed via a 4D color parameter
for `Shading`.
