v0.43.0

This release announcement is also available on the Fornjot website

Hey folks, sorry for being a day late with this release! It took me an extra day to get myself sorted after coming back from vacation.

Speaking of vacation, this is going to be a short one! Not a lot happened while I was away, and the week before I left was also quite slow.

The main attraction is definitely support for exporting .obj files, added by @replicadse!
