GeomConvert_CurveToAnaCurve, GeomConvert_SurfToAnaSurf - geometrical algorithms
for converting geometrical curve and surfaces in canonical geometry with given tolerance.
ShapeAnalysis_CanonicalRecognition - interface for checking canonical geometry.
Support of reading and writing tessellated geometry is added for the following STEP entities:
- triangulated face
- complex triangulated face
- tessellated shell
- tessellated solid
- tessellated shape representation
Models without BRep geometry (mesh formats like STL, OBJ and so on) are supported for writing to STEP.
New parameters are added to enable/disable tessellated geometry reading and writing:
- read.step.tessellated (On/Off/OnNoBRep) (On by default)
- write.step.tessellated (On/Off/OnNoBRep) (OnNoBRep by default)
OnNoBRep - tessellation is read/written only for entities for which there is no BRep representation.
Faces with poly triangulation are written in STEP as triangulated face entities with one coordinates list per face.
Only one poly triangulation per face (returned by BRep_Tool::Triangulation) is written to STEP.
Draw Harness Guide now refers to ViewerTest commands description
via @snippet pointing to C++ source code instead of duplicating it.
"help" command now tries to beautify output of command's description.
Add '-exact' option to checkshape command to use exact method to validate edges using BRepLib_ValidateEdge class. Default mode is calculating in finite number of points.

The following classes have been removed as obsolete:
- BRepAlgo_BooleanOperation
- BRepAlgo_Fuse
- BRepAlgo_Cut
- BRepAlgo_Common
- BRepAlgo_Section
The corresponding classes from BRepAlgoAPI package have to be used instead.
Draw commands:
- fuse
- cut
- common
- section/psection
have also been removed as obsolete.
The corresponding commands for modern Boolean operations algorithm (bfuse/bcut/bcommon/bsection) have to be used instead.
Adjustment of the test cases to use the commands for modern algorithm.
Change BRepCheck_Analyzer::Perform algorithm from recursion to 'for' loop
Add parallelization to BRepCheck_Analyzer::Perform
Add '-parallel' option to checkshape command to use parallelization. Default mode is single-thread.
mutex as Handle
Implementation of new format for quick reading and writing parts of the documents (sub-set of labels and sub-set of attributes). It consists in writing shapes and all their contents right in the TNaming_NamedShape attribute placement and skipping the shape section. New format 12 for Binary file types is assigned to this version.
Added PCDM_ReaderFilter class that could be used in Open methods of TDocStd_Application. If it is defined, it allows to read:
- into already opened document in append mode AppendMode_Protect (do not overwrite existing attributes) or AppendMode_Overwrite
- only specified sub-trees of the document using AddPath (const TCollection_AsciiString& theEntryToRead)
- only specified attributes using AddRead (const TCollection_AsciiString& theRead) where theRead could be "TDataStd_Name", for example
- to skip specified attributes read using AddSkipped (const TCollection_AsciiString& theSkipped) where theSkipped could be "TDF_Reference", for example
The current limitations:
- only in Bin format
- if shapes have in the document shared topology, loaded in "append" mode in different "load" operations, they will have no shared topology anymore
Modifications:
BinLDrivers and BinDrivers packages - modifications related to the quick part tree format flag usage, skipping shape section writing and adding labels sizes into the document to be able to pass labels during the reading quickly.
BinObjMgt_Persistent and BinObjMgt_Position - to add possibility to write directly into the stream some data just after the attribute. Before this record a data-size is recorded.
BinMXCAFDoc package modifications to write BinMXCAFDoc_LocationDriver location in the same way as shapes write location data right after the attribute (empty) data in this new format.
BinTools package: creation of ShapeReader and ShapeWriter classes with same root class ShapeSetBase with ShapeSet class. These classes allows to write/read shapes directly to the stream. If some object is already in the stream, write a reference - relative position of the duplicated object. The old format of documents is still supported by Bin_ToolsShapeSet class.
PCDM_ReaderFilter - Allows the user to create a reading filter. It contains algorithm to browse labels tree quickly, without usage of referencing by entry-strings.
TDocStd, CDF and some other packages are changed for supporting reading filters API and options.
Tests, documentation and upgrade information are also added for both issues: 31839 and 31918 related to this commit.

Minimum HDD space for OCCT updated in introduction.md.
AIS_SelectionScheme enumeration is defined to set which selection behaviour is used in Select of context
AIS_InteractiveContext is corrected to use single Select method instead of combination of Select/ShiftSelect methods with a selection scheme parameter.
Upgrade: Select() -> SelectDetected/Rectangle/Polygon(AIS_SelectionScheme_Replace), ShiftSelect -> SelectDetected/Rectangle/Polygon(AIS_SelectionScheme_XOR)
Enumeration values have been renamed to use complete prefix Graphic3d_NOM_ -> Graphic3d_NameOfMaterial_
and to match string names (with old values preserved as aliases).
Documentation of global variables available for the test script during test execution is improved.
Off-topic: mark-up error is fixed in DRAW user guide

Fixing problem with bugs modalg_3 bug606_2
Aspect_IS_HOLLOW now an alias to Aspect_IS_EMPTY and Aspect_IS_HIDDENLINE does not implicitly enables mesh edges,
so that Graphic3d_AspectFillArea3d::SetDrawEdges() should be set independently.
OpenGl_ShaderManager now provides built-in GLSL programs for drawing mesh edges
in single pass (and on OpenGL ES which does not provide glPolygonMode()).
Graphic3d_RenderingParams::ToEnableAlphaToCoverage is now enabled by default
and properly handled at TKOpenGl level - enables coverage for Graphic3d_AlphaMode_Mask primitives.
OpenGl_PrimitiveArray now uses GLSL programs instead of glPolygonMode() by default,
which can be managed by OpenGl_Caps::usePolygonMode flag (desktop OpenGL only).
glPolygonMode() is also used as fallback regardless OpenGl_Caps::usePolygonMode flag
when GLSL programs are not supported (Geometry Shaders are required)
or stipple line style is required (not implemented within Face GLSL).
vaspects command has been extended by -setInterior -setDrawEdges -setEdgeColor -setEdgeType -setEdgeWidth
arguments replacing vsetinteriorstyle/vsetedgetype/vunsetedgetype commands.
vaspects now accepts arguments without "set" prefix.

Redundant command BUC60738 has been removed.
AIS_ColorScale - fixed usage of uninitialized FillArea aspects.
Doxygen configuration scripts are corrected to avoid '\n' symbols in the end of the @figure alias that caused multiple warning messages.
Other Doxygen warnings in Markdown files are eliminated.
In CMake builds the format of Doxygen warnings is set to use the style recognized by Visual Studio when compiler is MSVC.

Implementation of the new class *BOPAlgo_MakePeriodic* for making the shape periodic in 3D space.
Periodicity of the shape means that the shape can be repeated in any periodic direction any number of times without creation of the new geometry or splits.
The idea of this algorithm is to make the shape look similarly on the opposite sides or on the period bounds of periodic directions.
It does not mean that the opposite sides of the shape will be mirrored. It just means the the opposite sides of the shape should be split by each other and obtain the same geometry on opposite sides.
Such approach will allow repeating the shape, i.e. translating the copy of a shape on the period, without creation of new geometry because there will be no coinciding parts of different dimension.
Draw commands for the new algorithm:
* makeperiodic - makes the shape periodic in required directions;
* repeatshape - repeats the periodic shape in requested periodic direction;
* periodictwins - returns the periodic twins for the shape;
* clearrepetitions - clears all previous repetitions of the periodic shape.
Documentation & test cases for the algorithm.
