Revision of Introduction, Overview, Samples, Tutorial
- Technical Overview is incorporated into Introduction
- Samples (from Overview) and Tutorial are moved into new section Tutorials and Samples
- Content of Getting Started section (Draw Test Harness and Experimenting with Draw Test Harness) is moved into Tutorial and Samples section.
- Content changes: links to Open Cascade website promoting paid training and support are deleted.
- Some pictures in User Guides (Foundation Classes, Modeling Data, Modeling Algorithms) and Tutorial are updated to improve quality and correct mistakes.
Move debug and upgrade user guides to corresponding folders on upper level
Related: remove "debug" pattern from .gitignore to avoid ignoring relevant folder in dox
- Standard_EXPORT which were specified for inline methods were deleted.
- ALL occurrences of DEFINE_STANDARD_RTTI_INLINE were replaced by DEFINE_STANDARD_RTTIEXT in header files and IMPLEMENT_STANDARD_RTTIEXT in source files
- ALL occurrences of "inline" keyword were deleted where it didn't not cause a linkage errors
- Added source files for classes that were without them for IMPLEMENT_STANDARD_RTTIEXT
- STEP low-level parser is converted to C++; required minimal version of flex is elevated to 2.5.37.
- Added possibility to import STEP from stream, see new method XSControl_Reader::ReadStream() (now implemented in STEP only).
- Parsers ported to win_flex_bison 2.5.23 (flex 2.6.4, bison 3.7.1)
- Added support of C++ flex and bison scanners in in CMake scripts
- Some code clean-up in StepFile and around (unused files and functions are eliminated)
- Option to read from stream is added in DRAW command testreadstep for testing ReadStream() function
- Added test bugs step bug27342
SelectMgr_ViewerSelector::SetDepthTolerance() - added property defining depth tolerance type and value.
Default value remains the same (SelectMgr_TypeOfDepthTolerance_SensitivityFactor),
while new values (SelectMgr_TypeOfDepthTolerance_Uniform, SelectMgr_TypeOfDepthTolerance_UniformPixels) change behavior.
AIS_Manipulator - removed obsolete suggestion to use AIS_InteractiveContext::SetPickClosest()
for issue fixed long time ago by #0027797.
Class CDF_Session is removed.
Integrated previously but not described:
0029195: OCAF - ensure thread safety for different documents.
Static local variables are eliminated in PCDM package.
Global documents metadata look-up table and directory of opened documents are removed.
Look-up table is maintained now as field in instances of the CDM_Application class.
Methods providing iteration by components are removed from class CDF_Store; signature of methods returned Standard_ExtString is changed to return Handle(TCollection_HExtendedString).
Support of different "Presentations" of documents is eliminated.
Catched exceptions are now passed by reference and error message is printed.
Added Standard_FALLTHROUGH to IVtkOCC_ShapePickerAlgo::SetSelectionMode().
Added custom meshing core algorithm to generate base mesh using Delabella library,
which can be enabled via IMeshTools_Parameters::MeshAlgo option or CSF_MeshAlgo environment variable.
Do not fill cirles filter upon explicit initialization.
Call base postProcessMesh functionality after initialization of circles in BRepMesh_CustomDelaunayBaseMeshAlgo.
Added Vsprintf() wrapper for vsprintf() preserving C locale.
Added theAllSubChildren flag to the TObj_OcafObjectIterator to iterate all sub-children.
By default it still iterates only the first level of children.
The workaround for a bug occurred in MS Visual Studio 2019 / Win32 / Release configuration with disabled Whole Program Optimization is implemented.
The problem was at the line "std::stable_sort(aPairList.begin(), aPairList.end(), BRepExtrema_CheckPair_Comparator);" of BRepExtrema_DistShapeShape.cxx source file,
and linked to NCollection_Vector::Differ() method.
This workaround was suggested by MSFT team.
Implement alternative approach for making the edge seam (closed) on the face. This approach is useful for non-periodic surfaces (e.g. tore-like surface of revolution is periodic in U direction only).
Avoid internal faces in the affected solids of the result of BOP Fuse.
- Added a new mode in SelectMgr_ViewerSelector for computing BVH for Select3D_SensitiveEntity in background which can be activated via method SelectMgr_ViewerSelector::SetToPrebuildBVH(). Default behavior has not been changed.
- New class SelectMgr_BVHThreadPool manages background processing of BVH building queue.
- Added Select3D_SensitiveEntity::ToBuildBVH() method that checks if BVH (if it used) is in invalidated state. Defined this method for all standard classes inherited from Select3D_SensitiveEntity.
Make RWStl_Reader::IsAscii() accepting optional argument pointing how to rewind the input stream, using unget() or seekg(). This allows writing a reader that uses a stream supporting seekg but not supporting unget.
