-------------------------------- Release 4.4 --------------------------------
* Triangulated Surface Mesh Segmentation (new package)
- This package implements the segmentation of triangulated surface meshes
based on the Shape Diameter Function (SDF). In addition, it also provides
functions to generate segmentations based on a user defined alternative to
the SDF.
* 2D Regularized Boolean Set-Operations
- Fixed two memory leaks in CGAL::General_polygon_set_2.
* 2D Arrangements
- Revise the API of polylines. In particular, construction is now done using
functors and iteration is possible only on the segments of a polyline.
- Fixed a bug in the Landmark point-location strategy.
* 3D Alpha Shapes
- Add member functions in CGAL::Alpha_shape_3 to give access to the alpha
status of edges and facets (get_alpha_status()).
- Add another filtration method (filtration_with_alpha_values()) that reports
the alpha value at which each face appears in the filtration.
* Combinatorial Maps and Linear Cell Complex
- null_dart_handle is no longer a static data member in the CombinatorialMap
concept. This implies to move the following methods of Dart concept into
CombinatorialMap concept: is_free, highest_nonfree_dimension, opposite and
other_extremity. We also transform the static methods vertex_attribute and
point of Linear_cell_complex class into non static methods. You can define
the CGAL_CMAP_DEPRECATED macro to keep the old behavior.
* CGAL ipelets
- Better description of the demo ipelets in the user manual
- New ipelet for pencils of circles
- New ipelet for hyperbolic geometry in Poincare model
- Geberator ipelet now generates point in a selected zone
- Hilbert sort ipelet implements two policies
* STL Extensions for CGAL
- Add the function CGAL::make_sorted_pair.
* Number Types
- A new class CGAL::Mpzf is introduced on some platforms for exact ring
operations. It is used to improve the speed of the evaluation of predicates
in degenerate situations.
* 2D and 3D Geometry Kernel
- Fix a bug introduced in CGAL 4.3 when computing the intersection of two 3D
triangles.
* 2D Triangulations
- Add different overloads of the function insert_constraints that inserts a
range of points and segments, or a range of segments. These functions uses
the spatial sorting in order to speed up the time needed for the insertion.
* 3D Mesh Generation
- Fix the access to functions number_of_facets and number_of_cells in
Mesh_complex_3_in_triangulation_3.
- Change the internal API of the sliver perturber, to make possible for
developers to optimize another criterion than the (default) minimal
dihedral angle. Developers can also define a new perturbation vector (for
angles we had gradient of squared circumradius, gradient of volume,
gradient of minimal dihedral angle, and random) which is better suitable to
optimize their criterion.
- Improve the use of cache values in Mesh_cell_base to (re)compute
circumcenters and sliver criterion values only when needed.
- Add caching of circumcenters to Regular_triangulation_cell_base_3. The
cache value is computed when cell->circumcenter() or rt.dual(cell)
functions are called.
* 2D Snap Rounding
- Fixed memory leak
