v1.0.0

Presenting v1.0.0!

While mostly just a formality, I like to call this version 1.0.0 because I believe Gaea is now truly ready* to be used on projects! It was mostly ready before, but with some new optimizations and QOL features, this is a version of Gaea I'm really proud of. Thanks to all the contributors (13 is insane!) for this.

The main feature of this version is threaded versions of chunk loaders and renderers, fixing stutters and improving performance.

*3D is hugely more optimized than before, though it's not perfect.

What does Gaea feature?

6 generators (5 2D, 1 3D), 11 modifiers, 2 renderers and chunk loading, making a versatile system for procedural generation.
