Add vc12 project files for MFC samples.
CMake - add Unicode option for MFC samples
CMake - do not set MFC option globally
Update description of Cmake building procedure for MFC sample
Correction of cmake.md and automake.md
0024943: Port MFC sample to UNICODE for compatibility with VS2013
The formatting of developer guides about OCCT building with various build systems has been improved.
automake article clean up
Generation of default path for test results corrected to have "results" as subdirectory and not prefix.
Parsing images in test results restricted to take only files with name of the test case without suffix or with suffix separated by underscore or dash, to avoid fetching images from different test case if its name starts like current test case.
Add new mode of writing vertices and parameter to switch on this mode.
Add description of new parameter (write.step.vertex.mode) into documentation.
Small correction of draw-command and test case for issue CR25095
test case correction
Small correction of test case for issue CR23950
New method HasMsg() is added in Message_MsgFile class to check if message with given key is registered.
That method is used in Message_Algorithm to check if message is defined on given level of class hierarchy.
Generation of error message in Message_MsgFile::Msg() is revised: now it includes a message key and gets added to the registry, to avoid re-generation in case of multiple requests.
Access to message registry maintained by the Message_MsgFile class is protected from concurrent access by mutex.
The patch changes the algorithm of choosing the initial approximation for Newton's method. Instead of searching for a point on the fine shifted grid, the algorithm performs initial search for candidate points in the original coarse grid (which is cached in new version). After that particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to localize the global minimum. This algorithm optimizes a problem by having a population of candidate solutions ("particles"), and moving these particles around in the search-space according to simple mathematical formula over the particle's position and velocity. Each particle's movement is influenced by its local best known position but, is also guided toward the best known positions in the search-space, which are updated as better positions are found by other particles. This strategy has reported good results in solving complex global optimization problems.
Current patch implements initial version of PSO for using in Extrema_GenExtCS class. Typically new approach allows to reduce the number of evaluations by 5-10 times. There are only few cases there the numbers of evaluations are comparable.

AutoZFit operation now may be applied on Visual3d_View level.
Visual3d_View tracks Graphic3d_Structure updates and call AutoZFit within
Visual3d_View::Redraw if necessary.
In order to get AutoZFit functionality on Visual3d_View level ZfitAll
method moved from V3d_View into Graphic3d_Camera. AutoZFit method and
AutoZFitMode flag now part of Visual3d_View.
Test case for issue CR24996
Drop Graphic3d_GraphicDriver::Begin() and ::End() methods.
Initialization is performed within driver constructor.
Drop dummy argument for Graphic3d_GraphicDriver constructor with library name.
Display connection now should be set instead
Drop Graphic3d::InitGraphicDriver() function and Graphic3d.hxx header.
Application code should explicitly link against TKOpenGl toolkit and instantiate OpenGl_GraphicDriver class.
Drop MetaGraphicDriverFactory implementation within TKOpenGl.
Arguments of command testgrid specifying test group and grid to be executed now can be a list of file masks (space or comma separated).
One more optional argument added allowing to specify masks for test cases to be run.
