<li><b>Known Bugs</b>:
<ul>
<li>001: OFFReader: Option bit not cleared before analyzing .off header.
<br>Symptoms: If a previously read .off file had normals/texcoords,
a second read of another file w/o normals or texcoords, will return

</ul>

<!-- --------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
<tr valign=top><td><b>1.0.0-beta2</b> (2003/11/05)</td><td>
<ul>
<li>Change of directory structure
<pre>
+- %OpenMesh/
+- Core/ # previously %OpenMesh
+- Tools/ # previously OpenMeshTools
+- Apps/ # previously OpenMeshApps
+- Win/ # contains all solutions files and projects for MS VC++
+- Doc/ # contains all documentation
</pre>
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.)
</li>
<li><b>Porting issues</b>: Due to a number of major changes in the
structure of %OpenMesh a few incompatibilities have been
introduced. Have look in <b>\c %OpenMesh/porting.txt </b> for hints how to
treat your source when updating from 0.11.x to
1.0.0.<br>Hint! The supplied script \c %OpenMesh/migrate.sh does a
few of the necessary modifications.
</li>
<li><b>The list kernel has been removed</b>
</li>
<li>Improved IO support:
<ul>
<li>Read/write ascii and binary STL </li>
<li>Read/write ascii and binary OFF </li>
<li>Support for vertex normals and vertex texcoords in OFF and OBJ</li>
<li>Support importing diffuse material into face color property from
OBJ files.
</li>
<li>Properietary binary format OM, supporting read/write of custom properties
</li>
</ul>
</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>
<li> Casts between two vector classes of the same dimension are now
explicit. This avoids unwanted and expensive casts.
</li>
<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>
</ul>
</li>
<li>OpenSG Support:
<ul>
<li>New kernel type \c class TriMesh_OSGArrayKernelT<>.
<ul>
<li>Uses OpenSG geometry types!</li>
<li>PolyMesh not supported, yet!</li>
</ul>
<li>Use \c OpenMesh::Kernel_OSG::bind<> to link a mesh obj with an
\c osg::Geometry and vice versa.<br>Please note that both objects
share the same data!
<ul>
<li>Binding a mesh to an \c osg::Geometry changes the content
of the \c osg::Geometry!
<li>Triangulates non-triangular faces!</li>
<li>Multi-indexed geometry not supported!</li>
<li>Transfer of vertex normals</li>
<li>Limited capability to transfer colors:
So far, only \c osg::Color3f <-> \c OpenMesh::Vec3ub
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Microsoft VC++ 7.0 projects files
<ul>
<li>Tutorial solution file
</ul>
</li>
<li> New tools/applications:
<ul>
<li>\c Tools/VDPM (View Dependent Progressive Mesh Library)
<ul>
<li>\c Apps/VDProgMesh/mkbalancedpm - Create a balanced
progressive mesh.
</li>
<li>\c Apps/VDProgMesh/Analyzer - Create a view dependent
progressive mesh file.
</li>
<li>\c Apps/VDProgMesh/Synthesizer - A viewer for the VDPM file.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Apps/mconvert</li>
<li>Apps/IvViewer - added support for Coin</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Known Bugs</b>:
The following bugs are related to the TriMesh_OSGArrayKernelT<>:
<ul>
<li>001: Cannot request/release the default attribute
<tt>halfedge_status</tt>.
</li>
<li>002: Cannot release the default attribute <tt>vertex_texcoords</tt>

<ul>
<li>Bugs fixed: 0.11.0:{001, 002, 003, 004, 006}<br><br>
006: Use acgmake version 1.1.1.
</li>
<li>Preprocessor warnings of gcc >= 3 fixed.
</li>
<li>Added some more dynamic ways to append properties to items:
OpenMesh::Any and OpenMesh::PropertyT .
</li>
<li>VectorT: standard operator less added, Vec4f is now
16-bit aligned using gcc compiler (for later SIMD usage).
</li>
<li>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.
</li>
<li>The read_mesh() methods now clears the mesh before reading a new one.
</li>
<li>Added can_read() and can_write() methods to the IOManager.
</li>
</ul>

<!-- --------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
<tr valign=top><td><b>0.11.0</b> (2002/09/07)</td><td>
<ul>
<li>Bugs fixed: 0.10.2:{001, 002, 003, 004, 005}
</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>
<li>Added convenience methods for the mesh kernels:
<ul>
<li>OpenMesh::Concepts::KernelT::n_halfedges()
<li>OpenMesh::Concepts::KernelT::halfedges_empty()
<li>OpenMesh::Concepts::KernelT::halfedge_handle(unsigned int _i)
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Known Bugs</b>:
<ul>
<li>001: Ambigous auto_ptr<> cast in ExporterT.hh.</li>
<li>002: BaseImporter and BaseExporter have no virtual destructor.</li>
<li>003: Reader does not work correctly, when reading from a istream.</li>
<li>004: cross(VectorT, VectorT) returns Scalar instead of VectorT.</li>
<li>005: PolyMeshT::calc_face_normal() may give wrong results if the
first 3 points of the polygon are colinear or concave.</li>
<li>006: Reading/writing (MeshIO) of files does not work when using acgmake
with SuSE 8.1.</li>

<ul>
<li>Bugs fixed: 0.10.1:{001, 002}
</li>
<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.
</li>
<li><b>Known Bugs</b>:
<ul>
<li>001: OpenMesh::PolyMeshT::operator=() does not return \c *this.
<li>002: OpenMesh::DefaultAttributer added unnecessary 20 bits to the
elementary mesh types.

<li><b>Known Bugs</b>:

vertex circulators, find_halfedge() and therefore
add_face().<br>
Workaround: Replace <tt>v0</tt> by <tt>v1</tt> in line 585 of

<ul>
<li>Interface for specifying the traits classes simplified (see

</li>
<li>Changed attribute handling; the attributer class (the class that
adds and registers attributes to mesh items) can be provided by
the user.
</li>
<li>Removed MyMesh::Face::n_vertices() and
MyMesh::Face::set_n_vertices().

<li>MeshWriter::write_* changed accordingly.
</li>
<li>Bug fix: PolyMeshT::delete_[face,edge,vertex] now work correctly.
</li>
<li>Removed cyclic dependency between items and kernel, because MS
VC++ cannot handle the resulting template forward declaration
:-(. Therefore the <tt>Base::Refs</tt> 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.
