New features:

• Optimized cave map generator (Thanks to James Neal)
• DijkstraShortestPath.FindPath method which terminates upon finding destination for improved speed (Thanks to flend for this update)
• Added AppVeyor continuous builds (Thanks to Glenn Hoeppner)
• New constructors for GoalMap and PathFinder to allow for paths which include diagonal movement
• Map.GetCellsInCircle and Map.GetBorderCellsInCircle methods use midpoint circle algorithm to get cells within a radius
• Multiple new “Try” methods which work like their normal counterparts except they return null instead of throwing exceptions
• Path.TryStepForward and Path.TryStepBackward which will return null instead of throwing a NoMoreStepsException
• PathFinder.TryFindShortestPath will return null instead of throwing a PathNotFoundException
• GoalMap.TryFindPath will return null instead of throwing a PathNotFoundException

Breaking changes:

• Bug fix (4.1.0) – selecting border Cells along edge of map no longer selects center Cell
• Point and Rectangle classes are now structs (Thanks to James Neal)
• Updated all the appropriate references to Cell with ICell (Thanks to Courtney Strachan)
• Map.ComputeFov and Map.AppendFov both return a ReadonlyCollection<ICell> for the cells in the field-of-view instead of returning void.
• The Path returned from PathFinder.ShortestPath now includes the source cell in the returned Path. This behavior is consistent with how the GoalMap pathfinder works
• Map.GetCellsInArea was renamed to Map.GetCellsInSquare
• Map.GetBorderCellsInArea was renamed to Map.GetBorderCellsInSquare
• Map.GetCellsInRadius was renamed to Map.GetCellsInDiamond
• Map.GetBorderCellsInRadius was renamed to Map.GetBorderCellsInDiamond
