The CGAL Open Source Project is pleased to announce the release 4.3 Beta 1
of CGAL, the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library.

CGAL version 4.3 Beta 1 is a public testing release. It should provide
a solid ground to report bugs that need to be tackled before the
release of the final version of CGAL 4.2 at the end of March.
release of the final version of CGAL 4.3 mid-September.
Besides fixes to existing packages, the following has changed since
CGAL 4.1:
o New compiler support
Microsoft Windows Visual C++ compiler 2012 (VC11) is now supported.
CGAL 4.2:
o The CGAL Manual generated with Doxygen
The CGAL project publishes a beta version of the CGAL manual generated
with Doxygen: http://doc.cgal.org/4.2/
The documentation of CGAL is now generated with Doxygen:
http://doc.cgal.org/4.3/
In future versions of CGAL, the manual generated with Doxygen is planned
to replace the manual that is currently published at
http://www.cgal.org/Manual/latest/
The conversion to Doxygen from our home-made tools was not completely
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.
See http://www.cgal.org/releases.html for a complete list of changes.
