Sébastien Crozet e6156727f2 Use full names for everything.

Note that `sqdist` becomes `distance_squared` and `sqnorm` becomes `norm_squared`.

Fix #176.

Change Log

All notable changes to nalgebra, starting with the version 0.6.0 will be documented here.

This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[0.7.0]

Points and vectors are now linked to each other with associated types (on the PointAsVector trait).

Announcement: a users forum has been created for nalgebra, ncollide, and nphysics. See you there!

Added a dependency to generic-array. Feature-gated: requires features="generic_sizes".
Added statically sized vectors with user-defined sizes: VectorN. Feature-gated: requires features="generic_sizes".
Added similarity transformations (an uniform scale followed by a rotation followed by a translation): Similarity2, Similarity3.

Removed zero-sized elements Vector0, Point0.
Removed 4-dimensional transformations Rotation4 and Isometry4 (which had an implementation to incomplete to be useful).

Vectors are now multipliable with isometries. This will result into a pure rotation (this is how vectors differ from point semantically: they design directions so they are not translatable).
{Isometry3, Rotation3}::look_at reimplemented and renamed to ::look_at_rh and ::look_at_lh to agree with the computer graphics community (in particular, the GLM library). Use the ::look_at_rh variant to build a view matrix that may be successfully used with Persp and Ortho.
The old {Isometry3, Rotation3}::look_at implementations are now called ::new_observer_frame.
Rename every fov on Persp to fovy.
Fixed the perspective and orthographic projection matrices.
