Expand and pinch fire in alternating order on pinch

[danielksato]

In release 1.0.6, when an expand listener and a pinch listener are both bound, the listeners fire in alternating order on a pinch. They do not fire at all on an expand.

Downgrading to 1.0.5 solves this issue, but only when the expand listener is bound before the pinch listener.

My guess is that this is because of the way Pinch and Expand are structured to extend the same Distance class, which knows about Pinch and Expand (this seems like a bad idea) and demultiplexes on the constructor name.

Why is there even a difference between Pinch and Expand in the first place? There should just be a single Pinch class which reports a "changeSinceLast" or some such piece of data. If it's positive, you've got an expand, if it's negative, you've got a pinch. Simpler, clearer, easier to use, more efficient.

I'm not sure this library is still being maintained actively, so I'm thinking of developing my own fork. I would prefer to just contribute to this project, but the testing pipeline is broken, the devDependencies are deprecated, and the maintainer doesn't seem to be responding to issues or pull requests.

It's frustrating, because my organization has been looking at adopting zingtouch as a replacement for Hammer.js, which hasn't been updated in a year. I want to avoid forking if I can.

Hey @mvanderkamp and @danielksato, the Pinch/Expand class were previously different enough to warrant their own classes, but at some point it made more sense to perform the logic in the distance class. While maintaining this project is not a top priority we will look into these issues this week. Feel free to submit a pull request to help out.

@mike-schultz Thanks for responding! I'll try to submit a PR this week if I have time, but unfortunately I can't make any guarantees - I've got a deadline looming myself.

[mvanderkamp]

I've submitted a PR that seems to fix things up for me: #48

Do you mind if I do a bit of general cleanup in the code?

Is there a release planned soon with this update ?
