Added the GearJoint class.

14.2.0

• Bugfix: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION on Windows (Minie issue #23)
• Added add(), negate(), negateLocal(), and subtractLocal() methods to the Vector3f class.

14.1.0

14.0.0 - redesign rigid-body contact management

• Redesigned the ContactListener interface for utility and efficiency. (API changes)
• Added the PersistentManifolds utility class.
• Added the countManifolds() and listManifolds() methods to the PhysicsSpace class.
• Added native libraries for the MacOSX_ARM64 platform (aka Apple Silicon).
• Handle missing platform subdirectories in NativeLibraryLoader.

13.0.0

• Added the ManifoldPoints utility class, which provides getters and setters for btManifoldPoint without the need to instantiate a PhysicsCollisionEvent.
