- deprecate the following function Classification_type A.classify ( Cell_handle f, int i, FT alpha = get_alpha()) because it is ambiguous with Classification_type A.classify ( Cell_handle f, FT alpha = get_alpha()) when alpha is given as an int. - Get rid of the derivation from Triangulation_3 add a Triangulation_3 as a data member creators from a triangulation: Alpha_shape_3(cnst Dt& dt, NT alpha = 0, Mode m = REGULARIZED) The triangulation is copied Alpha_shape_3(Dt& dt, bool swap=true, NT alpha = 0, Mode m = REGULARIZED) The triangulation is swapped if swap=true and copied otherwise. - test the taking into account of parameter alpha in functions get_alpha_shape_edges get_alpha_shape_facets get_alpha_shape_vertices get_alpha_shape_cells
