o The CGAL Manual generated with Doxygen o Triangulated Surface Mesh Segmentation (new package)
The documentation of CGAL is now generated with Doxygen: This package implements the segmentation of triangulated surface meshes

functions to generate segmentations based on a user defined alternative to
The conversion to Doxygen from our home-made tools was not completely the SDF.
smooth. Please report any documentation bug you may discover to the
Inria Forge bug tracker:

o 2D Periodic Triangulations (new package)
This package allows to build and handle triangulations of point sets in
the two dimensional flat torus. Triangulations are built incrementally
and can be modified by insertion or removal of vertices. They offer
point location facilities. The package provides Delaunay triangulations
and offers nearest neighbor queries and primitives to build the dual
Voronoi diagrams.
