 * Changed `Tolerance` class to no longer use singleton pattern. `Tolerance()` now creates independent instances instead of returning the global `TOL`. 
 * Renamed `Tolerance.units` to `Tolerance.unit` to better reflect the documented properties. Left `units` with deprecation warning.
 * Fixed `NotImplementedErorr` when calling `BrepLoop.vertices`.
+* Fixed `python -m compas` to detect extensions based on `importlib` rather than `pkg_resources`.
