• Set ruler's z-position closer to origin to avoid ruler disappearing when camera.depth is small by @almarklein in #1101

What's Changed

Camera's and controllers

• Add match_aspect arg to camera.show_object() by @almarklein in #1051
• Change controller.add_camera so it does not change camera order by @almarklein in #1086
• add Controller.pause context manager by @kushalkolar in #1080
• Camera.get_state() returns new copy of the array instead of a view by @kushalkolar in #1076

  • The Ruler no longer reports a bounding box, so that axii in the scene no longer break camera.show_object().
  • The OrthographicCamera no longer move in the view direction (typically z-axis) as it zooms. Note that a PerspectiveCamera with fov==0 still does.
