Changelog

8.1 (?/?/?) |
8.0 (2019/02/21) | Breaking changes: Don't run and test on VS2013 anymore. As VS2013 still lacks some C++11 features, we remove it from our list of supported platforms (Only internally breaking change:)Get rid of the T.cc naming for template implementations. New names end with T_impl.hh. This avoids all the missing files in the IDE GUIs due to the filtered T.cc files. Also the install targets could be simplified due to this change. For OpenMesh users, this change should be transparent. Core TriConnectivity: Added two functions split_edge and split_edge_copy to mask the PolyConnectivity functions of the same name (Prevents creation of valence 2 vertices on trimeshes) PolyConnectivity: Fixed PolyConnectivity is_collapse_ok, missing some configurations (Thanks to Simon Flöry for the patch) Connectivity type is now set at compile time Added header to interface with Eigen3 vectors as the basic type (Documentation on how to use it is also integrated) IO PLY Reader: Allowing the PLY reader to read custom face ( Thanks to morgan Leborgne for the patch) PLY Reader: Fixed endless loop on unknown property list type PLY Reader: Fix hang when reading directly from istream (Thanks to Paul Loré for the patch) PLY Reader: Fix file load for ASCII PLY without a newline at the end of the file (Thanks to Mathieu Lamarre for the patch ) PLY Reader/Writer: Support for face colors (Thanks to Steve and Barb Demlow for the patch) OM Writer/Reader: Update file format version to 2.0. Older files can still be read, but older OpenMesh versions cannot read new format. OM Writer/Reader: Fixed inconsistent writing/reading of edge properties OM Writer/Reader: Add option to store status OBJ Writer: Use Fixed as stream option in OBJ writer to avoid problems with other programs reading scientific notation Tools SmartTagger: Added the SmartTagger class to tag primitives (O(1) reset ) Apps Fixed several warnings with gcc 8 Removed the glut dependency Build System Rename the DEPRECATED macro into OM_DEPRECATED to prevent a macro clash with Intel MKL (Thanks to Morgan Leborgne for the patch)

4.0 (2015/07/08,Rev.1308) | LICENSE OpenMesh has been relicensed to BSD-3 Core Fixed crash when writing with multiple threads to mostream. closes #2293 (Note: This fix is only active with C++11 support) fix "relink failed" condition closes #1244. This patch fixes a rare condition in add_face, where a non-manifold configuration could be created. Added CW and CCW Circulators ( These new iterator versions also fix the problems that circulators could get valid again, if iterating past the end, they are also faster, as the require one check less then the old ones.) Implement a warning on the operator-- of the old iterators. It was possible to use them to iterate from begin into negative direction. At boundaries, that did not work correctly and visited one entity twice. The warning can be disabled via cmake or define (-DNO_DECREMENT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS ). Fixed wrong normal calculation in calc_face_normal for Poly Meshes. closes #2427 Fixed various warnings with vector casts General: Get rid of some compiler warnings VectorT: fix compile error on vector scalar multiplication when scalar type differs of vector scalar type and the scalar was lhs. closes #2367 Removed dead and uncompilable code regarding the status set. refs #2511 IO Readers/Writers: extend "can_read/can_write" function. returns true, if no explicit filename is given, but just the extension. closes #2431 Writers: Avoid std::endl in various writers to avoid flushing the output stream on every line.

2.0-RC3 (2009/06/04) | License Relicense under LGPL v3 with additional exception for template inclusion Readers/Writers PLY writer fix ( thanks to Marc Hugi ) PLY reader fix ( wrong parsing of uchar binary data ) PLY reader warnings fix ( thanks to Ilya A. Kriveshko ) OBJ Reader now stores texture information in additional Mesh properties OBJ reader/writer fixes Tools Smother now respects feature primitives Decimater improvements and fixes ( thanks to Ilya A. Kriveshko ) Build system Updated directory structure Changed libnames to libOpenMesh and libOpenMeshTools cmake support bugfixes to qmake build system Keep some basic ACGMake files around ( acgmake is deprecated!! We will not provide support for it! Please use cmake or qmake instead. ) Other Fixed some warnings with latest gcc Per halfedge texture coordinates added Extended functions to get available properties
2.0-RC2 (2009/02/17) | Fix for OBJ reader not reading texture coordinates correctly ( Thanks to Kamalneet Singh ) Fixed included Visual Studio files
2.0-RC1 (2009/01/28) | Reader / writer have been updated Some general bugfixes The usage of acgmake has become deprecated since the last release. It has been replaced by qmake Improved Documentation Dropped support for acgmake which has been entirely replaced by qmake Credits to Simon Floery, Canjiang Ren, Johannes Totz, Leon Kos, Jean Pierre Charalambos, Mathieu Gauthier
1.9.7 (2008/10/13) | Ported applications to qt4 Bugfixes in Decimater Improved Documentation Dropped support for gcc 3.x compilers (This does not mean that it does not work anymore) Dropped support for Versions of Visual Studio older than 2008
1.1.0 (2007/02/26) | Fixed a VS 2005 compilation issue regarding the Sqrt3 subdivision class. Fixed GCC-4.1 compilation problems. The STL writer routine now correctly closes the `"solid"` block with `"endsolid"`. The API of the vector class has been changed slightly due to problems with some versions of GCC: The cast operator to the scalar type has been removed and replaced by the function `data()`. Hence, existing code like `Vec3f vertex;` `...` `glVertex3fv( vertex );` has to be changed to `Vec3f vertex;` `...` `glVertex3fv( vertex.data() );`
1.0.0 (2005/09/20) | Mainly fixed the bugs collected in beta4. Slightly changed module handling in the Decimater. Removed some parts to keep the project maintainable. Fixed MacOS compilation problems. Compatibility for latest gcc4 compilers.
1.0.0-beta4 (2004/01/20) | Bugs fixed: 1.0.0-beta3:001 Documentation of module Core completed. Documentation of module Tools::Decimater and Tools::Subdivider completed. Revised class structure for uniform subdivision. Revised rule handling for composite adaptive subdivision.
1.0.0-beta3 (2003/12/04) | The beta3 fixes only the known bugs in beta2. Bugs fixed: 1.0.0-beta2:{001, 002, 003, 004} Known Bugs: 001: OFFReader: Option bit not cleared before analyzing .off header. Symptoms: If a previously read .off file had normals/texcoords, a second read of another file w/o normals or texcoords, will return with option bits normals/texcoords enabled.

Note! The supplied script \c %OpenMesh/migrate.sh can be used to adjust include paths and ACGMakefiles. (It's not guarantied the script handles every case, but so far it did not missed a file to adjust.) Porting issues: Due to a number of major changes in the structure of %OpenMesh a few incompatibilities have been introduced. Have look in \c %OpenMesh/porting.txt for hints how to treat your source when updating from 0.11.x to 1.0.0. Hint! The supplied script \c %OpenMesh/migrate.sh does a few of the necessary modifications. The list kernel has been removed Improved IO support: Read/write ascii and binary STL Read/write ascii and binary OFF Support for vertex normals and vertex texcoords in OFF and OBJ Support importing diffuse material into face color property from OBJ files. Properietary binary format OM, supporting read/write of custom properties Improved coordinate class OpenMesh::VectorT: `VectorT::vectorize(Scalar)` is no longer static, now it changes the vector. Use it e.g. to clear vector values. Casts between two vector classes of the same dimension are now explicit. This avoids unwanted and expensive casts. Optimized performance by manual loop-unrolling. These optimizations are partial specializations for vectors of dimension 2, 3 and 4. Since Microsoft's VC++ still does not support partial specialization and also provides rather poor loop-unrolling, users of this compiler are stuck to lower performance. OpenSG Support: New kernel type \c class TriMesh_OSGArrayKernelT<>. Uses OpenSG geometry types! PolyMesh not supported, yet! Use \c OpenMesh::Kernel_OSG::bind<> to link a mesh obj with an \c osg::Geometry and vice versa. Please note that both objects share the same data! Binding a mesh to an \c osg::Geometry changes the content of the \c osg::Geometry! Triangulates non-triangular faces! Multi-indexed geometry not supported! Transfer of vertex normals Limited capability to transfer colors: So far, only \c osg::Color3f <-> \c OpenMesh::Vec3ub Microsoft VC++ 7.0 projects files Tutorial solution file New tools/applications: \c Tools/VDPM (View Dependent Progressive Mesh Library) \c Apps/VDProgMesh/mkbalancedpm - Create a balanced progressive mesh. \c Apps/VDProgMesh/Analyzer - Create a view dependent progressive mesh file. \c Apps/VDProgMesh/Synthesizer - A viewer for the VDPM file. Apps/mconvert Apps/IvViewer - added support for Coin Known Bugs: The following bugs are related to the TriMesh_OSGArrayKernelT<>: 001: Cannot request/release the default attribute `halfedge_status`. 002: Cannot release the default attribute `vertex_texcoords` 003: Assignment operator = () does not work properly. 004: No copy-constructor available!
0.11.1 (2002/12/02) | Bugs fixed: 0.11.0:{001, 002, 003, 004, 006} 006: Use acgmake version 1.1.1. Preprocessor warnings of gcc >= 3 fixed. Added some more dynamic ways to append properties to items: OpenMesh::Any and OpenMesh::PropertyT . VectorT: standard operator less added, Vec4f is now 16-bit aligned using gcc compiler (for later SIMD usage). Use OM_STATIC_BUILD=1 when creating a static library. The static version of the library needs to included IOInstances.hh, which is done in that case. When compiling with MS VC7, the define is set automatically, as the DLL-Version is not supported yet. acgmake (Version >= 1.1) set the define automatically when using the flag for static compiling. The read_mesh() methods now clears the mesh before reading a new one. Added can_read() and can_write() methods to the IOManager.
0.11.0 (2002/09/07) | Bugs fixed: 0.10.2:{001, 002, 003, 004, 005} Added MS VC++ 7.0 project files for the tutorial programms. (Have a look in /Win32/MSVC/) New Input/Output management, see \ref mesh_io. The new interface is as backwards-compatible as possible. Only the read_[off,obj] and write_[off,obj] methods do no longer exist. You should now include OpenMesh/IO/MeshIO.hh instead of MeshReader.hh and MeshWriter.hh. The old include files may be removed in a future release. Added: Generic algorithms may now define their own traits, these traits can be merged with other user-defined traits by the OM_Merge_Traits macro. See tutorial \ref tutorial_06. Added generic handle <-> item conversions, see OpenMesh::Concepts::KernelT::handle() and OpenMesh::PolyMeshT::deref(). The kernel methods vertex_handle(), halfedge_handle(), edge_handle(), face_handle() should no longer be used, but are still existent for compatibility reasons. You can hide them by uncommenting the define OM_HIDE_DEPRECATED in OpenMesh/System/config.h. Internal methods, like Vertex::halfedge_handle() or Vertex::point() are now hidden, since the respective kernel methods (like MeshKernel::halfedge_handle(VertexHandle) or MeshKernel::point(VertexHandle)) should be used instead. Added convenience methods for the mesh kernels: OpenMesh::Concepts::KernelT::n_halfedges() OpenMesh::Concepts::KernelT::halfedges_empty() OpenMesh::Concepts::KernelT::halfedge_handle(unsigned int _i) Known Bugs: 001: Ambigous auto_ptr<> cast in ExporterT.hh. 002: BaseImporter and BaseExporter have no virtual destructor. 003: Reader does not work correctly, when reading from a istream. 004: cross(VectorT, VectorT) returns Scalar instead of VectorT. 005: PolyMeshT::calc_face_normal() may give wrong results if the first 3 points of the polygon are colinear or concave. 006: Reading/writing (MeshIO) of files does not work when using acgmake with SuSE 8.1.
0.10.2 (2002/06/25) | Bugs fixed: 0.10.1:{001, 002} The edge collapse checking method TriMeshT::is_collapse_ok() is now more restrictive. It prohibits cases that could be handled by the halfedge data structure, but would probably not be regarded as a legal mesh. The vertex split operation creates up to 3 new edges and 2 new faces. Up to now it was possible to pass handles to edges/faces that should be used instead of creating new ones. This option has been removed in order to get a cleaner interface. The MeshCheckerT has been changed slightly: it omits deleted elements, so one does not have to perform a garbage collection before checking the mesh. It also checks for the halfedges building cycles around faces or boundaries. Known Bugs: 001: OpenMesh::PolyMeshT::operator=() does not return \c *this. 002: OpenMesh::DefaultAttributer added unnecessary 20 bits to the elementary mesh types.
0.10.1 (2002/04/22) | Bugs fixed: 0.10.0:{001, 002, 003, 004, 005} Added: Predefined attribute \c TexCoord. Added: Support for MS VC++ 6.0 IDE with Intel Compiler. Added: Tutorial 6 on generic algorithms. SharedCoordArrayKernelT is now derived from ArrayKernelT. Added: Assignment operator operator=() for PolyMeshT and TriMeshT. Added: Method TriMeshT::is_collapse_ok(), checking topological conditions for a given halfedge collapse. Known Bugs: 001: PolyMeshT::delete_face(): Outgoing halfedge handle of a vertex can incorrectly be invalidated. Influences vertex circulators, find_halfedge() and therefore add_face(). Workaround: Replace `v0` by `v1` in line 585 of PolyMeshT.cc 002: TriMeshT::collapse(): Some special cases are incorrectly handled when collapsing boundary halfedges. The same cases are also incorrect for the inverse operation TriMeshT::vertex_split() operation.
0.10.0 (2002/03/19) | Interface for specifying the traits classes simplified (see Traits.hh). Changed attribute handling; the attributer class (the class that adds and registers attributes to mesh items) can be provided by the user. Removed MyMesh::Face::n_vertices() and MyMesh::Face::set_n_vertices(). MeshWriter::write_* changed accordingly. Bug fix: PolyMeshT::delete_[face,edge,vertex] now work correctly. Removed cyclic dependency between items and kernel, because MS VC++ cannot handle the resulting template forward declaration :-(. Therefore the `Base::Refs` class, given for the traits classes, no longer provides the types \c Vertex, \c Halfedge, \c Edge, and \c Face. It now only provides all handle types, the point and the scalar type. Finally: MS VC++ 7.0 supported. Known Bugs: 001: TriMeshT.cc::vertex_split(): call to undefined method Face::set_n_vertices(). Workaround: Comment out the two occurences of the call. 002: Missing `\#include` in OpenMesh/Mesh/Types/PolyMesh_ListKernelT.hh. 003: Special case in TriMeshT::edge_collapse(): when collapsing a boundary vertex into an interior one, the outgoing halfedge of the resulting vertex my not be a boundary one. 004: PolyMeshT::delete_edge did not pass its argument _delete_isolated_vertices to PolyMeshT::delete_face. 005: PolyMeshT::assign() was not linked because of an \#if error.
0.9.2 (-) | PolyMeshT::add_face() now detects more topological errors. Added mesh kernel methods: remove_last_[vertex,edge,face]().
0.9.1 (2002/02/07) | Changed the main namespace from ACG to OpenMesh. Added invalid handle constants, e.g. PolyMeshT::InvalidVertexHandle. Mesh provides circulators: PolyMeshT::vv_iter(VertexHandle).
0.9 (2002/01/25) | initial release
