## [0.16.0] - WIP
## Modified
* Adjust `UnitQuaternion`s and `Rotation3`s generated from the `Standard` distribution to be uniformly distributed.
* Adjust `UnitQuaternion`s, `Rotation3`s, and `Rotation2`s generated from the `Standard` distribution to be uniformly
distributed.
### Added
* Add construction of a `Point` from an array by implementing the `From` trait.
* Add support for generating uniformly distributed random unit column vectors using the `Standard` distribution.
