Updated OCC logo.
Replaced some external links to https.
Added references to VS2019 support.
Added glTF, OBJ, IFC, JT into listing within appropriate sections.
Replaced dead URLs.
Fixed misleading information.
Added support of Visual Studio 2017 (15) in CMake build procedure.
CMake 3.7.2 or above is required to generate projects for VS 2017.
Since version of compiler and toolset remained at 14 (now they are 14.1), and they use the same run-time, the same third-party products as for VS 2015 (14) can be used.
Also the name of the folder for installation of OCCT binaries in OCCT-standard layout (default on Windows) remains "vc14".
Support of Visual Studio 2017 is added in genproj generator and relevant environment, with format specifier "vc141".
The syntax of the genproj command is revised:
- UWP is considered as separate platform ("uwp" alternative to "wnt"), not part of IDE specification
- Option "IDE" is renamed to "Format"
- Obsolete name of local variable "aWokStation" is replaced by equivalent "theFormat"
In environment scripts, additional variables are defined (derived from VCVER, see adm/vcver.bat):
- VCLIB defines name of the subdirectory specific to VS version; it is the same as VCVER except that for VCVER=vc141 VCLIB=vc14 and for VCVER=141-uwp VCLIB=vc14-uwp
- VCFMT is VCVER without optional suffix "-uwp"
- VCPROP is "NativeDesktop" for normal builds or "Universal" for UWP builds
Command genconf is amended to:
- Detect presence of VS 2017 (separately for desktop and UWP)
- Use only two first digits after "vc" in format specification for search of third-party libs
- Have more space in user interface for VS specification
All supported variants of VCVER variable are documented in dev guides / buiding / msvc
Description of building OCCT with WOK and automake scripts is removed from documentation.
Use of genproj utility is described in pages on building with MSVC, Code::Blocks, and XCode projects.
New script genconf allows starting configuration GUI explicitly; dialog is slightly revised.
Script genproj.sh is renamed to genproj; permissions for scripts are corrected for Linux.
Script env.bat does not set anymore environment required for Products.
- m-dashes added.
- some other cases of incorrect dash use fixed
- unicode dashes were removed throughout the documentation.
- other comments taken into account.
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
Command gendoc improved to:
- generate Reference Manual documentation (OCCT classes reference) with option -refman; option -overview can be used for generation of overview documentation;
- generate PDF documents for all User Guides automatically (for files listed in FILES_PDF.txt);
- check availability of third-party tools (Doxygen, Inkscape etc.) and properly report warnings and errors.
- use templates of configuration files for third-party tools instead of their generation. These template files are located in dox/resources folder
Tcl scripts are moved from dox folder to adm.
Doxygen warnings are eliminated.
Moved all auxilary functions to occaux.tcl.
Fixed Reference manual generation on *nix platform.
Fixed PDF generation on *nix platforms.

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
