Smoothing and curvature computation on a quad mesh using a general polygon Laplacian.

We are pleased to announce version 3.0 of the Polygon Mesh Processing Library! This is a major release with several additions and API changes. Highlights include:

We integrated a polygon Laplacian based on [4] . Several algorithms now work on general polygon meshes, including smoothing, parameterization, fairing, and curvature computation.
The geodesics in heat method based on [7] has been added.
The algorithms API has been revamped to use a simple function-based interface.
New interactive online demos integrated into the algorithms guide.
We no longer use git submodules for handling third-party dependencies.
Upgrade C++ standard to C++17
... a whole lot of smaller fixes, cleanups, and improvements

See the changelog for a full summary of changes. Upgrading existing code from previous versions might require some changes due to the API rework we did. Please review the changelog for any breaking changes that might affect you.
