Possibility to build OCCT using Visual Studio 2008 (VC9) is restored.
For that:
- template functions and classes from namespace std or tr1 (for VC9) are imported to namespace opencascade which is then used instead of std in relevant places
- templates not provided by compiler (VC9) but required for OCCT are defined in this namespace (in Standard_Handle.hxx)
- methods implementing move semantics are excluded for VC9 compiler (which does not support && syntax)
- support of vc9 compiler is restored in build procedures and environment scripts
- check of type of the current class in macros DEFINE_STANDARD_RTTI* is refactored
VS 2008 is restored in the list of supported platforms on Overview / System Requirements.
- Copyright year is updated
- Links to 3rd-party libraries and their licenses are actualized
- Description and snapshot of iOS sample added
- Visual Studio 2017 is mentioned among supported compilers
Image_VideoRecorder - added new class for video recording using FFmpeg framework.
Draw Harness command vanimation has been extended with new options for video recording.
New optional dependency has been introduced - CSF_FFmpeg.
Use of Cotire tool is introduced for acceleration of CMake builds, by usage of precompiled headers.
CMake option BUILD_USE_PCH is added to enable / disable use of precompiled headers
When precompiled headers are used, additional compiler macros are defined globally in the build system to avoid problems due to different order of included files:
- NOMINMAX is defined on Windows to prevent defining "min" and "max" as macros by windows.h
- STRSAFE_NO_DEPRECATE and _SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS are defined on Windows to prevent declaring functions of standard C library as deprecated by #pragma, and other warnings in system headers
- GL_GLEXT_LEGACY and GLX_GLEXT_LEGACY are defined to ensure that only OCCT's own glext.h is used
- __STDC_FORMAT_MACROS is defined to have standard C print format macros always defined
Code is corrected to avoid conflicts with system headers and in case of compiling together as unity builds (partially):
- Some locally defined variables in TKV3d, TKHLR are renamed to be unique
- Duplicated definitions of macros and global functions are eliminated in TKSTEP
- Useless header WNT_UInt.hxx is removed
- Usage of local variables conflicting with X11 macro is avoided in Draw_Viewer.cxx
- Local variables in AIS_ConcentricRelation.cxx are renamed to avoid conflict with macros defined in windows.h
- HXX files containing code are renamed to PXX or merged with corresponding CXX files.
IVtkTools classes are corrected to avoid compiler warnings disabled in non-PCH builds by inclusion of VTK headers.
Useless pragmas disabling warnings on MSVC are removed
Updated destination directory for generated by gendoc proc pdf files.
Added additional option "-update_images_size" for gendoc procedure to update width of images in *.md files during pdf generation for @figure alias.
Documentation was updated to use alias @figure instead of outdated @image

Generation of header files from resource files was added to CMake and genproj procedures.
Message_MsgFile has been extended with new method ::LoadFromString()
for loading messages from embedded resources.
Message_MsgFile::LoadFromString() is now a preferred way
for loading message resources by application
as alternative to environment variables.
TObje/TObj.msg is now embedded into TObj_Application.cxx.
TObj_Application now loads its global messages
on instantiation of the first class instance.
UnitsAPI/Lexi_Expr.dat now completely embedded into Units_Lexicon.cxx.
UnitsAPI/Units.dat now embedded into Units_UnitsDictionary.cxx
but can be regenerated from resource file.
The definition of the following units have been removed:
benne à charbon, calorie (diététique).
Unused message files XSMessage/IGES.us and IGES.fr have been removed.
Related code IGESData.cxx has been removed as well.
XSMessage/XSTEP.us is now embedded into Interface_StaticStandards.cxx
and used for fallback initialization in case when file resources
defined by CSF_XSMessage environment variable are missing.
SHMessage/SHAPE.us is now embedded into ShapeExtend.cxx
and used for fallback initialization in case when file resources
defined by CSF_XHMessage environment variable are missing.
Duplicating code has been removed from ShapeProcess_OperLibrary.cxx.
Shaders/Declarations.glsl and Shaders/DeclarationsImpl.glsl
are now embedded into OpenGl_ShaderProgram.cxx.
CSF_ShadersDirectory is no more required for using OCCT 3D Viewer.
Ray-Tracing GLSL programs from Shaders are now embedded into OpenGl_View_Raytrace.cxx.
File resources are still used instead of embedded programs
when CSF_ShadersDirectory is defined, but this functionality
is intended for OCCT development.
Enumeration Graphic3d_ShaderProgram::ShaderName_Phong
demonstrating custom GLSL program usage has been removed.
In samples:
- Fixed syntax error in DataExchangeDemo.tcl
- MSAA is enabled in some tests to provide better presentation
- Option to build isolines on triangulation is used in some samples to avoid artifacts in selection highlight

Technical docs are reviewed to:
* update references to page with third-party products
* update description of persistence, handles, and RTTI according to changes in OCCT 7.0
* remove references to CDL, WOK, and WOK-generated stuff
* update the list of environment variables
Some pre-release updates, reviewing and implementation of some adequate remarks from JMA:
- redundant chapters in IGES and STEP guides
- proofreading of recent insertions in Draw, and tests guides
- mathjax information
- data, version, addresses, system requirements in overview.md
Corrections
- m-dashes added.
- some other cases of incorrect dash use fixed
- unicode dashes were removed throughout the documentation.
- other comments taken into account.
- Update of mfc samples

user sees just dirs of libs, shared libs and headers of 3rdparty products
documentation updated
3rdparty search priority was fixed: 1. user paths; 2. system paths
3rdparty debug usage fixed
vtk search introduced
occt information, generated by wok, was divided onto two files: occt_toolkits.cmake and occt_inc_toolkits.cmake
additional behavior of cmake search for freetype 2.5.1 and above
CMake (version < 3.0) don't know about new place of config/ftheader.h in freetype 2.5.1. There are cases when cmake seeks config/ftheader.h in defined place (3RDPARTY_FREETYPE_DIR variable), doesn't find it and start new search in system places. If system has own freetype header- cmake will find it and 3RDPARTY_FREETYPE* variables will point to different places. This situation is avoided
tcl, freetype, vtk are checked before usage of it (CSF variables usage)
tbb search mechanism was refactored
freetype search is processed by default cmake mechanism
tcl search is processed by default cmake mechanism
3rdparty macro seeks debug libraries (and release if debug ones aren't found); 3rdparty dll is sought in win case only
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY preferred to SUBDIRS
gendoc.bat search for tclsh.exe in user's system
