Thanks! Here are the steps:

Clone the repo (the latest commit should be on 2020-04-07 or later).

Check out 0.3.3 and run it on some point clouds, looking for some where the 
TIN has big spikes (most likely in holes).

Check out later commits and run them on the same clouds. The spikes should 
become smaller in horizontal area (they may be less than a millimeter thick) 
and then disappear. Thin spikes may appear in places they weren't before (I've 
seen them in falsely rough asphalt that is an artifact of photogrammetric 
processing of pine needle shadows), but should disappear by the latest commit.

Also, would you like to contribute a translation?
