I appear to have 15 copies of offset.scad on my computer, ranging from 2014 to 2024. I just tried to compile an OpenSCAD model that I have used for years, and it now complains about the call to invert(), because the call has a parameter and the module definition does not.  The error message makes sense, but I'm not sure how the old (2014) code behaved up until now, so I'm not sure how or what to fix. I tried using a newer version of offset.scad, but that appears to lack inset_shell(), which I am using in my code. Has anyone else run across this? Code snippet from old offset.scad ==== module inset(thickness = 0.5, bbox = [5000, 5000, 5000]) {   module invert() {     difference() {       cube(bbox, true);       children();     }   }   render() {     invert(0.9 * bbox)       minkowski() {         invert() children();         cube([2 * thickness, 2 * thickness, 2 * thickness], center=true);       }   } } module inset_shell(thickness = 0.5, bbox = [5000, 5000, 5000]) {   render() {     difference() {       children();       translate([0, 0, -5 * thickness]) scale([1, 1, 100])         translate([0, 0, -2 * thickness])           inset(thickness, bbox)             children();     }   } } -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com

render() {
  invert(0.9 * bbox)
    minkowski() {
      invert() children();
      cube([2 * thickness, 2 * thickness, 2 * thickness], center=true);
    }
}

It used to be possible to pass any parameter into a module but now they have to be listed in the parameter list. I have an offset_3D module here: https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib/blob/master/utils/offset.scad Note that with manifold big has to be only 1000, whereas with CGAL it was 1E10.
