11<b>Breaking Changes</b>
12<ul>
13<li>PropertyManager: PropertyManager only gives const access to the underlying mesh.</li>
14</ul>
15
16
17<b>Core</b>
18<ul>
19<li>Property System: Get rid of the OM_FORCE_STATIC_CAST defines. We use the type ids to check if the cast is valid or not. This will add more type safety. </li>
20<li>Default Traits: Added DefaultTraitsDouble as a version of the default traits that uses double precision for positions and normals as well as float for colors. </li>
21<li>Default Mesh Types: Added typdefs for a Triangle Mesh and a PolyMesh which use DefaultTraitsDouble and can be used as default mesh type be the user. </li>
22<li>Template Programming Convenience: Added n_elements which returns the number of elements corresponding to the handle type given as template argument. Also added elements and all_elements methods returning ranges of the elements corresponding to the handle type given as template argument. See the Smart Handles Section under Tutorials in the Documentation.</li>
23<li>Smart Handles: Most userfacing functions returning handles should now return smart handles instead. Smart handles know their corresponding mesh and give convenient access to mesh navigation methods.
24<li>Smart Ranges: OpenMesh ranges now provide a few methods that simplify a few calculations. See documentation for more details.
25</ul>

28<b>Tools</b>
29<ul>
30<li>Subdivider: Fixed crash in Loop subdivider</li>
31<li>Subdivider: Fixed crash in ModifiedButterfly subdivider</li>
32<li>Decimater: Fixed ModNormalDeviationT not working for meshes with Eigen Vectors as vector type</li>
33</ul>
34
35
36<b>Utils</b>
37<ul>
38<li>Change PropertyManager::operator* to access the property value for mesh properties</li>
39<li>PropertyManager: add hasProperty function</li>
40<li>PropertyManager rework: The behavior of the PropertyManager has been changed, hopefully making it more usable. See tutoial.
41</ul>
42
43<b>IO</b>
44<ul>

63
64<b>Breaking changes:</b>
65<ul>
66<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>
67<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>
68</ul>
69
70<b>Core</b>
71<ul>
72<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>

74<li>Connectivity type is now set at compile time</li>

84<li>PLY Reader/Writer: Support for face colors (Thanks to Steve and Barb Demlow for the patch)</li>
85<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>
86<li>OM Writer/Reader: Fixed inconsistent writing/reading of edge properties</li>
87<li>OM Writer/Reader: Add option to store status</li>

545<li>Fixed crash when writing with multiple threads to mostream. closes #2293 (Note: This fix is only active with C++11 support) </li>
546<li>fix "relink failed" condition closes #1244. This patch fixes a rare condition in add_face, where a non-manifold configuration could be created. </li>
547<li>Added CW and CCW Circulators ( These new iterator versions also fix the problems that circulators could get valid again, if iterating past the end,
548    they are also faster, as the require one check less then the old ones.)</li>
549<li>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,
550    that did not work correctly and visited one entity twice. The warning can be disabled via cmake or define (-DNO_DECREMENT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS ).</li>
