include <BOSL2/std.scad> path = [for(theta=[-180:5:180]) [theta/10, 10*sin(theta)]]; sq = square(6); path_sweep(sq,path,profiles=true,width=.1,$fn=8); When testing the above example 3 within path_sweep() in the BOSL2 library, I receive the following two warnings: WARNING: variable profiles not specified as parameter in file ext0.scad, line 6 WARNING: variable width not specified as parameter in file ext0.scad, line 6 Am I missing something?

The profiles option to path_sweep was added very recently, so you may just need to upgrade your BOSL2.

Yes ... that was the problem. Is there a way to be notified of BOSL2 updates?

I don't think there's any useful way to get notification of updates. Basically the code is changing all the time as bugs are fixed and so on. The profiles option was added in response to a call for better docs of path_sweep, for example. There are usually changes every week, sometimes trivial, sometimes more significant. My understanding is that Revar's plan is to basically freeze development and have an "official" release "soon" at which point it will become stable and only bug fixes will be allowed in with a clear versioning scheme so, incompatible changes would be in version 2.1, say, and it would be clear if features require some specific version.

After a suggestion from a user I implemented semantic versioning for NopSCADLib. Before each group of commits are pushed to Github I add a tag that goes up by 0.1 for bug fixes, 1.0 for additions and 1.0.0 for a breaking change. Then I run a script <https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib/blob/master/scripts/changelog.py> I wrote to make a changelog <https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md>. It makes clear what each change is and whether it is backwards compatible, without much developer effort, just adding an appropriate tag before each push.
