- Added `refsite` attribute to actuators with `site` transmission.
- Such actuators now have a well defined length and can be used for e.g., Cartesian end-effector control.
- Added example models and documentation describing the new feature.

- `anchor` determines the point of wrench application, in the frame of body2.
- `tfratio` scales applied torques relative to applied forces.
- Add visualisation of both anchor points to both weld and connect constraints.
- Add a test model showing how the new weld parameters behave.

- `distance` constraints were not very useful and increased the contact buffer within the constraint solver, violating a core design principle. Therefore they have been removed.
- The enum value `mjEQ_DISTANCE` is retained, but errors will be thrown in the parser and engine if these constraints are selected.

- Add `azimuth` and `elevation` to `visual.global`.
- Add `mjv_defaultFreeCamera`.
- Use `mjv_defaultFreeCamera` in `simulate`.

- Mesh inertias can now be computed exactly for well-formed (no holes) non-convex meshes.
- To activate this feature, set `<compiler exactmeshinertia="true">` (defaults to `false`). This default may change in the future.
- Added `<geom shellinertia="true/false">` (defaults to `false`). When true, geom inertia is computed assuming all the mass is concentrated on the surface, and `density` is interpreted as surface density (mass/area). Currently only mesh geoms are supported.

- Applies to [orientation specifiers](https://mujoco.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modeling.html#frame-orientations) in `body`, `inertial`, `geom`, `site`, `camera`.
- Before this change the check was done only for multiple *alternative* specifiers, but not for `quat` and an alternative specifier.
- Moved the check from the compiler to the parser.
- Added tests.

Added analytic derivatives of smooth (unconstrained) dynamics forces, with respect to velocities:
- Centripetal and Coriolis forces computed by the Recursive Newton-Euler algorithm.
- Damping and fluid-drag passive forces.
- Actuation forces.
A new implicit-in-velocity integrator is implemented using the analytic derivatives. This integrator lies between the Euler and Runge Kutta integrators in terms of both stability and computational cost.
