Iso2Mesh 2018 (v1.9)
Iso2Mesh 2018 (1.9.0, codename: Century Egg) is a milestone towards the 2.0 release. It now contains the source codes and makefiles to compile the embedded open-source meshing utilities to binary - so that Linux package maintainers can distribute Iso2Mesh via the software repository without concerning the licenses of the embedded binary tools. Further more, it adds a number of new features, such as extruding curves to form surfaces, importing/exporting NIRFAST files, mesh interpolations, as well as increased robustness in surface boolean, surf2mesh etc.
A number of modules received updates - JSONLab was updated to 1.8, tetgen got a Windows binary for 1.5.1, meshfix's windows binary was also upgraded to v2.1.
