Changes in release 20.3 (in progress)

• Revamped the style computation for display lists to handle the cascade of overrides correctly through the seven layers of possible settings. Retired getItem*Style() and applySubpartStyle() member functions. Added rose_dpystyle_get_*() functions in their place.

Changes in release 20.2 (2024-07-10)

• Version 20 Service Pack One release.

• Added mass density (mass/volume) and area density (mass/area) measure types, units, and conversions. Added kg per cubic meter, gram per cubic centimeter, ounce and pound per cubic inch, and pound per cubic foot. Area density units are the same except for square instead of cubic length.

• Added rose_pt_on_line_and_plane() intersection function.

• Added rose_poly2d_area() function.

• Implemented RoseCircle2D::solve()

• Now using the official rad/sr short names for radian and steradian.

• Added RoseUnit definitions and conversions for mass units, mg, gram, kg, tonne (metric ton), oz, pound, ton, and long ton.

• Added kilonewton to RoseUnit force definitions.

• Added single core unit and RoseMeasureType definitions for all remaining SI quantities: ampere/current, becquerel/radioactivity, candela/luminous intensity, coulomb/charge farad/capacitance gray/absorbed dose, henry/inductance, joule/energy, lumen/luminous flux, lux/illuminance, mole/amount of substance, ohm/resistance, siemens/conductance, sievert/equivalent dose, tesla/magnetic flux density, volt/voltage, weber/magnetic flux,

• Add style for curve width on mesh trim curves, and general curves. Added curve_width property in RoseDypStyle. Added width property on RoseCurCurve Added EdgeWidth propert in RoseMesh

• Check for null scale value passed to rose_vec_scale()

Changes in release 20.1 (2023-08-10)

• Internal mesh improvements for handling large numbers of faces.

Changes in release 20.0 (2023-03-10)

• Version 20 release.

• Add get/setOrigin() to mesh with values for body and computed, extend the find functions to look for an origin or an effective mesh which prioritizes computed, body, then other.

• Add hooks and logic to start precursor jobs and meshes when a given mesh job is started.

• Added rose_color functions for converting between RGB and HSV

• Copy origin in rose_xform_normalize() when not normalizing in place.

• Additional input checks on xform and vec functions.

• No more public members on RoseDisplayList.

Changes in release 19.2 (2022-02-23)

• Fixed crash when unable to compute normal on a very small face.

• Added checks in faceting code to fix crash on repeated points (this occurrs in IFC poly loop instance.)

Changes in release 19.1 (2022-02-01)

• Version 19 Service Pack One release.

• RoseDisplayList changes to support exploded view.

• Moved XML support functions to another library (rosexml/p28lib)

• Added slicing APIs: rose_slice_place, rose_slice_plane_2d, rose_slice_get_loops_isects, rose_slice_fill_loops. These functions are used to slice a mesh, and get and fill the intersection loops.

• Fixed bug in faceting code where a surface is bounded by a complex trimmed spline curve. This occasionally occurrs in STEP data, and was resulting in some quasi-periodic surfaces (screws) not faceting property.

• Fixed bug in NURBS curve solving code where the solution was not a global minimum, but rather a local minimum.

• Fixed bug in facet code where the additional facetsd outside the bounding curve were being generated, due to surface patch corner appearing very close to the bounding curve.

• Fixed bug in boolean that detected a false positive for an impossible case, thus causing the operation to fail.

• Added overload copyFlags() method to RoseDisplayList and RoseGraphicStyles, which takes a value flag. This allows those methods to invert the value of a flag while copying it.

• Fixed bug in boolean code where edges were incorrectly getting merged.

Changes in release 19.0 (2021-07-19)

• Version 19 release.

• Renamed rose_xform_scale() to rose_xform_compose_scale(), because it is actually building a scale matrix and composing it to apply the scaling to both direction and origin.. Kept a temporary #define for the old name. Added rose_xform_scale_dirs() which applies a scaling factor to the direction portion of the matrix, which is how scaling normally works in GL et al.

• Renamed unit functions using the same grouping pattern that we are now using for the STEP and IFC extensions. Defines are in place for the old names, disable by defining ROSEMATH_NO_DEPRECATED_NAMES
  • rose_get_measure_as_unit rose_unit_convert

• Added general get object functions to RoseMesh and RoseMeshBuilder for tracking a mesh back to its source data. These return a general RoseObject pointer. Subtypes may provide functions that return more specific subclasses.
  • getObject()
  • getRepObject()
  • getFaceObject (unsigned idx)
  • getEdgeObject (unsigned idx)

Changes in release 18.0 (2018-10-01)

• Pass through original value on unit conversion if either the starting or ending unit is declared as roseunit_as_is. Previously, we only checked ending unit.
