- Added new `cable` composite type:
* The `initial` parameter specifies the joint at the starting boundary: `free`, `ball`, or `none`.
* The boundary bodies are exposed with the names:`B_left` and `B_right`.
* The vertex initial positions can be specified directly in the XML with the parameter `vertex`.
* The orientation of the body frame **is** the orientation of the material frame of the curve.
- Added new `cable` passive force plugin:
* Twist and bending stiffness can be set separately with the parameters `twist` and `bend`.
* The stress-free configuration can be set to be the initial one or flat with the flag `flat`.
* New cable example showing the formation of plectoneme.
* New coil example.
* New belt example showing interaction between twist and anisotropy.
* Added test using cantilever exact solution.

- 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.

- 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.
