Version 0.7.0 - October 2011

  • Updated build and install instructions

  • Allow changing default values of MMGT_* variables
    The following macros can be set when compiling to override default settings: MMGT_OPT_DEFAULT
    MMGT_CLEAR_DEFAULT
    MMGT_MMAP_DEFAULT
    MMGT_CELLSIZE_DEFAULT
    MMGT_NBPAGES_DEFAULT
    MMGT_THRESHOLD_DEFAULT
    MMGT_REENTRANT_DEFAULT

  • Allow building unversioned libraries : Third-party applications which embed OCE may find convenient to drop version numbers from libraries.
    With this commit, one can call cmake -DOCE_NO_LIBRARY_VERSION=ON.
    This is based on a similar feature found in VTK.

  • Disabled the BSpline mesher, since it generates over-refined meshes. The generic one will be used instead.

  • Removed src/FontMFT/*.mft files

  • More tests added : Step import and mesher

    • Install Debug and Release libraries into the same directory
    • Automatically define WNT depending on compiler predefined macros
    • Auto-install TBB dlls
    • Export the target informations in Win32. This allows to find OCE from cmake projects even win 32.

Version 0.6.0 - September 2011

  • Removed many X11 dependencies. Now it is possible to build a large part of OCE (with the exception of visualisation) without depending on X11 (using OCE_DISABLE_X11 option).

  • Cmake support : Cmake users will be able to correctly find OCE using FIND_PACKAGE(OCE). Several examples are added to show how to use it in end-user programs. It is now possible to detect/request single toolkits.

  • Packaging : change installation paths; we do no more install files at the same location as OpenCascade, but adopted more standard paths.

  • Tests : integrated gtest 1.6.0 and added other unit tests, which helped in fixing some bugs. Added MSVC support to the testsuite.

  • Win32/MSVC improvements:

    • Enabled configuration files in Win32 platforms
    • Plugins and TKOpenGL are correctly found in debug builds

  • TKOpenGL works when building static libraries.

  • Modify tcl scripts to not require $env(CASROOT).

  • Many small changes, bug fixes and warning removals.

    • Added missing include in BRepBlend_BlendTool.lxx
    • Fix capitalization of include file
    • pass NULL for timezone pointer to gettimeofday()
    • eliminate bad cast by copying to local variable

Version 0.5.0 - August 2011

This release integrated OCCT 6.5.1, continued on the warning cleanup, and fixed some bugs. This an ABI breaking release, due to the warning fixes and the new OCCT version. Programs compiled with OCCT 6.5.1 will compile untouched with OCE 0.5.0

  • OCCT 6.5.1 : aligned to the lasted OpenCascade Tecnology release, while mantaining all the patches previously applied.

  • Breaking changes : to allow the removal of many compiler warnings, we did some breaking changes in some of the headers, mainly related to the type of private class fields. Existing code will still compile untouched.

  • Warning removal and code cleanup : we removed many other warnings and cleaned up some functions. Some cppcheck warnings were also fixed.

  • Added TBB support in memory allocation : OCE builds compiled with the TBB option on will benefit from its multithreaded memory allocator.

  • Bug fixes : some bugs were spotted during the cleanup process, and were fixed and reported. Other bugs were noticed from the forum and fixed.

  • Installing version information : Programs using CMake will allow to find OCE with a specific version string.

  • Program using OCE won't require to compile with -DHAVE_OCE_CONFIG anymore.

Version 0.4.0 - July 2011

This release focused on improving code quality and the cmake build system.

  • CPack support : including DEB,RPM and MacOsX package generation

  • CTest support : initial infrastructure to develop unit tests using googletest and CTest. Actually working in Linux and MacOsX.

  • CDash support : http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=OCE to see the status of the tests on various platforms

  • Fixed many compiler warnings: this allows to have a cleaner compilation and helped in finding some bugs. Probably many of the annoying MSVC CRT debug error windows are also gone. Some warnings may still be present, and will be fixed in successive versions.

  • Added NMake support

  • Drastically reduced MSVC compilation time, using precompiled headers

  • Added version information in Win32 DLLs: this information will be useful for installers and packaging systems.

  • Let OCEConfig.cmake use relative paths in order to allow moving install tree (related to Linux and MacOsX)
