* Remove unused bool argument in globebrowsing functions
* Refactor some globe browsing functions
* Start updating goToGeo function to fade instead of just jump
* Add choice for whtehr to use default or arrival height when flying to a geo2
* Update / add docs for fly-to and go-to functions
* Rename function and add deprecated version of `goToGeo`
Now allows geojson files with caps in the extension, as well as files with the .json extension.
Note that .json files will not be handled by drag-n-drop (we might want to use that extension for something else)
Add the option to add geojson components to globes, from geojson files. One geojson file creates one GeoJsonComponent, which in turn may contain multiple GlobeGeometryFeatures
Geojson is a format that supports points, lines, and polygons. In addition to the basic functionality, extra features have been added that will long-term allow rendering the geometry needed to represent KML files (another format for geospatial geometry data). Here are links to references for both formats:
Geojson: https://geojson.org/
KML: https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference
data/assets/examples/geojson includes some example files that I have used for testing. Any geojson file can also be added through drag-n-drop. Note however that you might need to change the AltitudeMode or HeightOffset properties for the feature to be visible.
Enables globe-browsing data to be cached using caching mrf's as it is loaded from the original dataset. Subsequent reads of tiles that have been cached do not query the original dataset but picks it up from the mrf data.
Supports anything that can be used a dataset for a gdal raster but raw images such as JPGs are explicitly disallowed as they lack necessary geotransform data.
Activated on a global scale by setting the following keys in openspace.cfg (ModuleConfigurations/GlobeBrowsing)
MRFCacheEnabled = true,
MRFCacheLocation = "<somepath>",
Settings can be overriden on a per-layer basis by adding the following entries to the layer entity of an asset
CacheSettings = { Enabled = true, Compression = "LERC", BlockSize = 512, Quality=25 },
The following per-layer settings are available and override the global module settings:
Enabled : enable/disable caching for this layer.
Compression: The compression algorithm to use for tile cache storage. (JPEG, PNG, or LERC)
BlockSize: Size of tiles in cache, should be a multiple of 2 although this is not required.
Quality: The quality setting of the JPEG compression (when used)
Note that heightlayers must use LERC compresison and this is the default unless overridden by a layer.

* Change spline curve parameter interval from [0,1] to [0,nSegments], for slightly increased precision
* Use linear paths whenever precision isn't enough/paths are too long (and traverse linear paths differently, to make them less depending on the distance)
* Remove OrbitalNavigator.LinearFlight and instead add "Zoom to" helper functions (closes#1837 )
* Add check to prevent triggering awkward short paths, for example when flying to the current target or to the same geo position twice
* Refactor speed code and handle speed when path is shorter than start+closeup distance
* Add easing to speed dampening
* Add topic for engine mode (to be used for UI later)
* Cleaner log when creating paths (some previous info messages are now debug messages)

- Remove the asset_helper file and call the onInitialize and onDeinitialize functions directly
- Small compile fix on Windows
- Removes the need for the registerIdentifierWithMeta function by automatically doing that for all asset.export statements
- Allow the passing of either identifiers (as before) or entire tables to the removeSceneGraphNode, removeScreenSpaceRenderable, deleteLayer, removeAction, and export methods. In that case, the Identifier key from the table is extracted and used instead
