v0.1.0

First numbered release since v0.0.0 (March 2021), and the first available through the Arduino Library Manager. Substantial rework of the API, documentation, and tooling.

What this library does:

• Communicates with the Apis board over I2C, which manages power supply and firmware watchdog for a Garmin LiDAR Lite unit and reads a MEMS accelerometer
• Returns range [cm], pitch [°], and roll [°]
• Computes mean, standard deviation, and standard error using Welford's online algorithm — no large arrays required
• Provides getHeader() and getString() for direct CSV/Margay integration
• Provides a raw reading interface for custom data collection loops

Changes since v0.0.0:

• Renamed class from SymbiontLiDAR to Apis
• begin() now returns bool for I2C acknowledgement
• Replaced fixed startup delay with firmware-polled ready flag
• Added SensitivityMode enum and setRangefinderSensitivity() for runtime mode selection
• Added Welford's online statistics for range, pitch, and roll
• Added raw reading interface (beginRawReadings(), takeRawReading(), endRawReadings())
• Added APIS_ERROR and APIS_NOT_MEASURED sentinel constants
• Added examples: Apis_Demo (serial output) and Margay (data logger integration)
• Added CITATION.cff with author ORCIDs and Concept DOI
• Full API reference at https://docs.northernwidget.com/Apis_Library/
• Registered in the Arduino Library Manager as Apis
