v0.3.0

This release brings quite a few quality of life and performance improvements; but also a few breaking changes so update with caution if you're in the middle of anything time critical requiring file save/load!

• Improvements to the MergeLine functionality (and it's moved in to File Settings),
• TopDiversity setting allows you to define how big a Fitness delta between TopNests to leave (which ensures Diversity in the TopNest survivors, at the cost of dropping minor variations - but the setting I've found actually has a surprisingly positive effect on the Nest algorithm,
• DifferentiateChildren causes holes to be a different colour when exporting to Dxf (I laser cut mostly and I find it's best to cut the little holes first and leave the large part cuts until after - next release I'm considering a flag o set on small parts so they get differentiated too but not in this release),
• Added an OverlapDetection setting for the functionality which was introduced via a feature switch in the last release as this release has debugged a number of causes of said overlapping - but I've kept it configurable as there are still evasive corner case bugs - but due to the heavy performance penalty unless you're getting overlaps I'd advise keeping it switched off
• Breaking changes to some of the file formats; the primary Nest/Result/SheetPlacements formats should still load but the nest debugging files likely won't be happy - but if you're using those it should be easy to work out what's changed... likely Height/Width and PlacePart fwiw...

v0.2.0-beta.1

Bump to Net6, add experimental MergeLine functionality (be sure to switch on the setting; some overlaps don't get picked up but I think it's a good start; any feedback would be appreciated before locking it in to a release @dorkmo @kelyamany @fel88 - would be easy to pull up to DeepNestPort...), Issue 8 crash on non-manifold handling and a few usability tweaks to the UI; sort ProjectEditor list and display part area, introduce NetArea to account for holes in Fitness calculations, display Unplaced part count on NestMonitor.
