Aardvark 5.3 changelog

• Updated to .NET 8 and F# 8
• Removed ImageSharp from Aardvark.Base.Tensors. Add a package reference for Aardvark.PixImage.ImageSharp if required.
• Optimized partial active patterns by using struct representation
• Added F# tensor utilities and math functions using SRTP
• Deprecated GenericValues.zero
• Fixed return type of LengthSquared for integer-based vectors. Now return integer instead of floating-point values.
• Added missing readonly modifiers for structs
• RenamedCIeLuvf to CieLuvf
• Removed IPix and related types:
  • IPixImage is renamed to IPix
  • PixImageCube and PixCubeMap: Use PixCube instead.
  • PixMipMap2d: Use PixImageMipMap instead.
• Reworked PixImageMipMap:
  • Removed generic PixImageMipMap<T>
  • Removed MipMapOptions, static Create() method takes multiple optional parameters instead. The default interpolation method is now linear.
• Cleanup of PixImage and PixVolume:
  • Made Array and Data consistent with tensors where Array is untyped and Data is typed. As a consequence, the non-generic PixImage and PixVolume only define Array.
  • Deprecated PixImage.IntStride in favor of Stride and StrideL
  • Added PixVolume.BytesPerChannel
  • Added PixVolume.ToCanonicalDenseLayout
  • Added Add PixImage<T>.Transformed (abstract PixImage.Transformed is renamed to PixImage.TransformedPixImage)
  • Removed obsolete loading API
• Added IPixLoader.CanEncode and IPixLoader.CanDecode
• Renamed SRTP member methods for FSharpMath functions due to conflicts with methods introduced in .NET 7 (e.g. Double.Log2). If you are using FSharpMath with custom types you will have to rename the static methods:
  • Acosh -> Acoshb
  • Asinh -> Asinhb
  • Atanh -> Atanhb
  • Cbrt -> CubeRoot
  • Log2 -> LogBinary
  • CopySign -> CopySgn
  • Lerp -> LinearInterp
  • Exp2 -> PowerOfTwo
• Removed obsolete API:
  • [Color] obsolete conversion functions
  • [Color] Parse() overload with IFormatProvider parameter
  • Async.AwaitTask (already in FSharp.Core)
  • Caching.cacheFunction
  • IDictionary.GetValueOrDefault
  • broken UnsafeCoerce utilities
  • CameraExtrinsics and CameraIntrinsics
  • float variants of Constant
  • IPol.SlerpShortest
  • Cell.Parse() with offset parameter
  • M44x.PerspectiveProjectionTransformLH
  • Trafo.PerspectiveProjectionOpenGl
  • Trafo.PerspectiveProjectionLH
  • Trafo.OrthoProjectionOpenGl
  • RangeSet and RangeSet64
  • RangeSet1*.insert and window
  • Time and TimeLink
  • ExecutableMemory
  • Dictionary.TryRemove and GetOrAdd
  • Seq.forany and Array.forany (use exists instead)
  • Strings module
  • ConversionHelpers lookup table utilities (use utilities from LookupTable module instead)
  • Assembler related types and functions (use Aardvark.Assembler instead)
