There were lots of improvements to JSCAD in 2022, including improved documentation, bug fixes, new features, and huge performance boosts.

Please visit the website at www.openjscad.xyz and try some of the examples.

There were a series of improvements to performance. However, we are really proud of the 30% boost to the performance of boolean operations. This was HUGE, and makes JSCAD performant with many compiled languages.

There have a bunch of new features as well, including helical extrusions, TAU integration, Chinese translations, 3MD export of designs, X3D export of designs, rendering of 2D shapes with colors, etc.

And the user group has been busy as well, creating new integrations with VSCode, create cool design websites, and showing JSCAD at conventions. Here are some cool sites.
