The list of fixed bugs +can be seen Github: - o 2D Polyline Simplification (new package) + - fixed in CGAL-4.6.2: - This package enables to simplify polylines with the guarantee - that the topology of the polylines does not change. This can be - done for a single polyline as well as for a set of polyline - constraints in a constrained triangulation. The simplification - can be controlled with cost and stop functions. + https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/issues?q=milestone%3A4.6.2 - o 2D Generalized Barycentric Coordinates (new package) + - fixed earlier in CGAL-4.6.1: - This package offers an efficient and robust implementation of two- - dimensional closed-form generalized barycentric coordinates defined for - simple two-dimensional polygons. + https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/issues?q=milestone%3A4.6.1 - o Scale-Space Surface Reconstruction (new package) - - This new package provides a class gathering a dedicated smoothing - algorithm and some convenience functions to help the creation of a - surface out of a point set using the 3D Alpha Shapes package. The - particularity of this reconstruction pipeline is that the input point - are in the output and no new points are created. Note that in the - current version, the output is a triangle soup that is not necessarily - a valid (manifold) polyhedral surface. - - - o Surface Mesh (new package) - - The surface mesh class provided by this package is an implementation of - the halfedge data structure allowing to represent polyhedral surfaces. - It is an alternative to the packages CGAL::Polyhedron_3 and - CGAL::HalfedgeDS. - - - o dD Triangulation (new package) - - This new package provides classes for manipulating triangulations in - Euclidean spaces whose dimension can be specified at compile-time or at - run-time. It also provides a class that represents Delaunay - triangulations. - - o 2D Triangulations - - The class Constrained_triangulation_plus_2 now can handle polylines as - constraints. - - - o Spatial Searching - - - Improved performance of Orthogonal_k_neighbor_search. - - - Breaking change: The concept OrthogonalDistance has new function - overloads for min_distance_to_rectangle and max_distance_to_rectangle - with an additional reference parameter std::vector. - - -See http://www.cgal.org/releases.html for a complete list of changes. - The CGAL project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, easy-to-use, and efficient C++ software library of geometric data
