<tr valign=top><td><b>8.0</b> (2019/02/21)</td><td>

<b>Breaking changes:</b>
<ul>
<li>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</li>
<li>(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.</li>
</ul>

<b>Core</b>
<ul>
<li>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)</li>
<li>PolyConnectivity: Fixed PolyConnectivity is_collapse_ok, missing some configurations (Thanks to Simon Flöry for the patch)</li>
<li>Connectivity type is now set at compile time</li>
<li>Added header to interface with Eigen3 vectors as the basic type (Documentation on how to use it is also integrated)</li>
</ul>

<b>IO</b>

<li>PLY Reader: Fix file load for ASCII PLY without a newline at the end of the file (Thanks to Mathieu Lamarre for the patch )
<li>PLY Reader/Writer: Support for face colors (Thanks to Steve and Barb Demlow for the patch)</li>
<li>OM Writer/Reader: Update file format version to 2.0. Older files can still be read, but older OpenMesh versions cannot read new format.</li>
<li>OM Writer/Reader: Fixed inconsistent writing/reading of edge properties</li>
<li>OM Writer/Reader: Add option to store status</li>
<li>OBJ Writer: Use Fixed as stream option in OBJ writer to avoid problems with other programs reading scientific notation</li>

<li><b>The list kernel has been removed</b>

  <li>Read/write ascii and binary STL </li>
  <li>Read/write ascii and binary OFF </li>

<li>Improved coordinate class OpenMesh::VectorT:
  <ul>
    <li> <tt>VectorT::vectorize(Scalar)</tt> is no longer static, now 
          it changes the vector. Use it e.g. to clear vector values.

    <li> Casts between two vector classes of the same dimension are now
         explicit. This avoids unwanted and expensive casts.

    <li> 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.

</li>

<li>Added MS VC++ 7.0 project files for the tutorial programms.
    (Have a look in <OpenMesh>/Win32/MSVC/)
</li>

<li>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.
</li>

<li>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.
</li>

<li>Added generic handle <-> item conversions, see 
    <ul>
    <li> OpenMesh::Concepts::KernelT::handle() and
    <li> OpenMesh::PolyMeshT::deref().
    </ul>
    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.
</li>

<li>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.

<li>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.
</li>

<li>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.
</li>

<li>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.
