v0.3.0

Major changes to the API have been made regarding material and vector3::reflection.

Overview

Full Changelog: v0.2.3...v0.3.0

The changes have backward compatibility issues (compared to v0.2.x), only if you were using material class
or vector3::reflection.

Documentation Changes

Updated Bardrix_Reference to include material and vector3::reflection updates.
Updated Mathematics to include the correct vector3::reflection formula.
Added readme to Docs/.
Added sphere normal calculation example
to Raytracing readme.
Added documentation to sphere class
in sphere example.
Made sure that in Release Notes the links are to the versions they are referring to instead of the latest version.
Added
documentation Raytracing-Reflections.
Solved issue 33, where degenerate cases aren't marked as such.

Code Changes

Major Changes

Updated shininess in material to
have a limit between [1, infinity)] which for some reason wasn't the case.
Updated diffuse and specular to not be opposites anymore because I thought they were, but they are not.
Updated vector3::reflection to now
actually work instead of returning the inverse of the reflection. Also reflection now doesn't return a unit vector but
instead a vector with the same length as the input vector.

Minor Changes

Renamed protected variable bmi (bitmap info) to bmi_, back_buffer to back_buffer_ and front_buffer to
front_buffer_
in window example.
Added material to sphere constructor
in sphere example.

Test Changes

Added tests for material and vector3::reflection to account for the new changes.
Renamed workflow template from Build Job to Build And Test CMake to better reflect what it does.
