Revision of User Guides
- Changes in User Guides Section to correspond with OCCT Overview structure: Mesh became a direct subsection of User Guides (it was a part of Modeling Algorithms).
TObj is included into OCAF.
- Changes in User Guides – Modeling Algorithms section: Fillets and Chamfers, Offsets, Drafts, Pipes and Evolved shapes, Sewing, Features, 3D Model Defeaturing, 3D Model Periodicity,
Object Modification are moved into The Topology API section.
- Changes in User Guides – Modeling Data section: Naming shapes, sub-shapes, their orientation and state section is renamed to Shape content. Shape Location is moved into Shape content section.
Storage of Shapes is moved into BRep Format section of Specification. Lists and Maps of Shapes subsection is moved into Topology - Exploration of Topological Data Structures.
- Some pictures in User Guides (Foundation Classes, Modeling Data, Modeling Algorithms) and Tutorial are updated to improve quality and correct mistakes.
Add possibility of construction of the Optimal Oriented Bounding Box from set of points (the case of shape with triangulation).
The interface of the BRepBndLib::AddOBB method is not changed, but the option <theIsOptimal> now controls also the construction of the OBB from Set of points.
The slightly modified DiTo algorithm will be used, checking all possible axes created by the extreme points.
The performance of the construction of the Optimal OBB is lower but the quality is usually much higher (can't be worse by definition).
Test cases for the issue.
1. The class Bnd_OBB has been created to describe the Oriented Bounding Box.
2. Several key methods have been implemented: Bnd_OBB::IsOut(...), Bnd_OBB::Add(...) and Bnd_OBB::Enlarge(...).
3. Interface of Bnd_Box class has changed. New methods have been created. See Bnd_Box.hxx for detailed information.
4. BRepBndLib and Draw_Box classes have been amended in order to provide correct work with Bnd_OBB class.
5. Interface of "bounding" DRAW-command has been changed. Please see help for detailed information.
6. New DRAW-command "isbbinterf" has been created. Please see help for detailed information.
7. "boundingstr" and "optbounding" DRAW-commands have been eliminated because their function can be made by "bounding" DRAW-command (e.g. see tests/bugs/vis/buc60857 or samples/tcl/snowflake.tcl test cases).
8. Documentation has been updated.
1. There has been implemented calculation of all possible types of continuity for shared edges:
* G1 is set if tangential planes are the same for connected faces in each control points through the edge;
* C1 is set in addition to G1 conditions if derivatives, orthogonal to the edge on each face, are equal vectors;
* G2 is set in addition to G1 if the centers of principal curvatures are the same for connected faces in each control points through the edge;
* C2 is set in addition to C1 and G2 if directions of principal curvatures are equal;
* CN continuity is set only if both connected faces are based on elementary surfaces (the conditions for this case are similar to C2 continuity).
2. ShapeFix::EncodeRegularity() is merged into BRepLib::EncodeRegularity().
3. Implemented several test cases to check correct handling of regularity.
4. Fix incorrect usage of BRepLib::EncodeRegularity() in BRepBuilderAPI_Sewing.
5. Implement a method for calculation of regularity on the given list of edges.
6. Documentation updates

Section related to OCCT building refactored and simplified.
WOK and CDL explicitly declared as deprecated.
OCCT documentation (Overview and User Guides) has been converted from MS Word files to text-based MarkDown format and added to OCCT sources, in the new subfolder 'dox'. The HTML and PDF articles can be generated from the sources using Doxygen and MiKTeX. See the file OCCT_Docs_HowTo.md for details on the new documentation system.
This branch includes:
- new folder structure for Open CASCADE documentation
- sources of almost all OCCT User Guides and Overview
- tcl and bat scripts, which allow to generate HTML and PDF articles
