<h3>3D Fast Intersection and Distance Computation (AABB Tree)</h3>
<ul>
<li>Following the intersection API change, <code>Object_and_primitive_id</code> has been replaced by a template class
<code>Intersection_and_primitive_id&lt;Query&gt;</code> to determine the type depending on the
query object type.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>2D Arrangements</h3>
<ul>
<li> The point location functionalities now uses a <code>boost::variant</code> instead of a <code>CGAL::Object</code>.
For convenience, The previous behavior can be restored by defining the macro <code>CGAL_ARR_POINT_LOCATION_VERSION</code> to 1.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Algebraic Foundations</h3>
<ul>
<li> For convenience, add an overload of <code>make_rational()</code> taking a pair of numbers.</li>

<h3>2D and 3D Geometry Kernel </h3>
<ul>
<li>A <code>Iso_rectangle_2</code> can now be constructed from a <code>Bbox_2</code> and an <code>Iso_cuboid_3</code> from a <code>Bbox_3</code>. </li>
<li> The intersection functions and functors used to returned a <code>CGAL::Object</code> in order to
deal with the different possible return types. However, depending on the arguments it is possible
to reduce the possible return types to a small set. For this reason and to take advantage of the type
safety, we decided to use <code>boost::variant</code> instead of <code>CGAL::Object</code>.
<code>The result_of</code> protocol is now even more useful to determine the return type of the intersection
functions and functors. The change should be relatively transparent to the user thanks to the implicit constructor
added to <code>CGAL::Object</code>. However, it is recommended to upgrade your code.
The previous behavior can be restored by defining the macro <code>CGAL_INTERSECTION_VERSION</code> to 1.
</li>
<li>
The implementation of <code>CGAL::Object</code> has been updated and now uses <code>boost::shared_ptr</code>
and <code>boost::any</code>. This implementation is faster.
