=====================================================================
Clipper Change Log
=====================================================================
v6.4 (2 July 2015) Rev 495
* Numerous generally minor bugfixes
v6.2.1 (31 October 2014) Rev 482
* Bugfix in ClipperOffset.Execute where the Polytree.IsHole property
was returning incorrect values with negative offsets
* Very minor improvement to join rounding in ClipperOffset
* Fixed CPP OpenGL demo.
v6.2.0 (17 October 2014) Rev 477
* Numerous minor bugfixes, too many to list.
(See revisions 454-475 in Sourceforge Repository)
* The ZFillFunction (custom callback function) has had its parameters
changed.
* Curves demo removed (temporarily).
* Deprecated functions have been removed.
v6.1.5 (26 February 2014) Rev 460
* Improved the joining of output polygons sharing a common edge
when those common edges are horizontal.
* Fixed a bug in ClipperOffset.AddPath() which would produce
incorrect solutions when open paths were added before closed paths.
* Minor code tidy and performance improvement
v6.1.4 (6 February 2014)
* Fixed bugs in MinkowskiSum
* Fixed minor bug when using Clipper.ForceSimplify.
* Modified use_xyz callback so that all 4 vertices around an
intersection point are now passed to the callback function.
v6.1.3a (22 January 2014) Rev 453
* Fixed buggy PointInPolygon function (C++ and C# only).
Note this bug only affected the newly exported function, the
internal PointInPolygon function used by Clipper was OK.
v6.1.3 (19 January 2014) Rev 452
* Fixed potential endless loop condition when adding open
paths to Clipper.
* Fixed missing implementation of SimplifyPolygon function
in C++ code.
* Fixed incorrect upper range constant for polygon coordinates
in Delphi code.
* Added PointInPolygon function.
* Overloaded MinkowskiSum function to accommodate multi-contour
paths.
v6.1.2 (15 December 2013) Rev 444
* Fixed broken C++ header file.
* Minor improvement to joining polygons.
v6.1.1 (13 December 2013) Rev 441
* Fixed a couple of bugs affecting open paths that could
raise unhandled exceptions.
v6.1.0 (12 December 2013)
* Deleted: Previously deprecated code has been removed.
* Modified: The OffsetPaths function is now deprecated as it has
been replaced by the ClipperOffset class which is much more
flexible.
* Bugfixes: Several minor bugs have been fixed including
occasionally an incorrect nesting within the PolyTree structure.
v6.0.0 (30 October 2013)
* Added: Open path (polyline) clipping. A new 'Curves' demo
application showcases this (see the 'Curves' directory).
* Update: Major improvement in the merging of
shared/collinear edges in clip solutions (see Execute).
* Added: The IntPoint structure now has an optional 'Z' member.
(See the precompiler directive use_xyz.)
* Added: Users can now force Clipper to use 32bit integers
(via the precompiler directive use_int32) instead of using
64bit integers.
* Modified: To accommodate open paths, the Polygon and Polygons
structures have been renamed Path and Paths respectively. The
AddPolygon and AddPolygons methods of the ClipperBase class
have been renamed AddPath and AddPaths respectively. Several
other functions have been similarly renamed.
* Modified: The PolyNode Class has a new IsOpen property.
* Modified: The Clipper class has a new ZFillFunction property.
* Added: MinkowskiSum and MinkowskiDiff functions added.
* Added: Several other new functions have been added including
PolyTreeToPaths, OpenPathsFromPolyTree and ClosedPathsFromPolyTree.
* Added: The Clipper constructor now accepts an optional InitOptions
parameter to simplify setting properties.
* Bugfixes: Numerous minor bugs have been fixed.
* Deprecated: Version 6 is a major upgrade from previous versions
and quite a number of changes have been made to exposed structures
and functions. To minimize inconvenience to existing library users,
some code has been retained and some added to maintain backward
compatibility. However, because this code will be removed in a
future update, it has been marked as deprecated and a precompiler
directive use_deprecated has been defined.
v5.1.6 (23 May 2013)
* BugFix: CleanPolygon function was buggy.
* Changed: The behaviour of the 'miter' JoinType has been
changed so that when squaring occurs, it's no longer
extended up to the miter limit but is squared off at
exactly 'delta' units. (This improves the look of mitering
with larger limits at acute angles.)
* Added: New OffsetPolyLines function
* Update: Minor code refactoring and optimisations
v5.1.5 (5 May 2013)
* Added: ForceSimple property to Clipper class
* Update: Improved documentation
v5.1.4 (24 March 2013)
* Update: CleanPolygon function enhanced.
* Update: Documentation improved.
v5.1.3 (14 March 2013)
* Bugfix: Minor bugfixes.
* Update: Documentation significantly improved.
v5.1.2 (26 February 2013)
* Bugfix: PolyNode class was missing a constructor.
* Update: The MiterLimit parameter in the OffsetPolygons
function has been renamed Limit and can now also be used to
limit the number of vertices used to construct arcs when
JoinType is set to jtRound.
v5.1.0 (17 February 2013)
* Update: ExPolygons has been replaced with the PolyTree &
PolyNode classes to more fully represent the parent-child
relationships of the polygons returned by Clipper.
* Added: New CleanPolygon and CleanPolygons functions.
* Bugfix: Another orientation bug fixed.
v5.0.2 - 30 December 2012
* Bugfix: Significant fixes in and tidy of the internal
Int128 class (which is used only when polygon coordinate
values are greater than ±0x3FFFFFFF (~1.07e9)).
* Update: The Area algorithm has been updated and is faster.
* Update: Documentation updates. The newish but undocumented
'CheckInputs' parameter of the OffsetPolygons function has been
renamed 'AutoFix' and documented too. The comments on rounding
have also been improved (ie clearer and expanded).
v4.10.0 - 25 December 2012
* Bugfix: Orientation bugs should now be resolved (finally!).
* Bugfix: Bug in Int128 class
v4.9.8 - 2 December 2012

orientation.
* Bugfix: Obscure bug affecting OffsetPolygons when using
jtRound for the JoinType parameter and when polygons also
contain very large coordinate values (> +/-100000000000).

v4.8.6 - 11 August 2012
* Bugfix: Potential for memory overflow errors when using
ExPolygons structure.
* Bugfix: The polygon coordinate range has been reduced to
+/- 0x3FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (4.6e18).
* Update: ReversePolygons function was misnamed ReversePoints in C++.
* Update: SimplifyPolygon function now takes a PolyFillType parameter.
v4.8.5 - 15 July 2012

Execute method.
v4.7.1 - 3 March 2012
* Bugfix: Rare crash when JoinCommonEdges joined polygons that
'cancelled' each other.

* BugFix: fixed a minor bug in OffsetPolygons' function
declaration (affected C++ translation only).
* Change: 'clipper' namespace changed to 'ClipperLib'
namespace in both C++ and C# code to remove the ambiguity
between the Clipper class and the namespace. (This also
required numerous updates to the accompanying demos.)
v4.4.2 - 26 August 2011
* BugFix: minor bugfixes in Clipper.
* Update: the OffsetPolygons function has been significantly
improved by offering 4 different join styles.
v4.4.0 - 6 August 2011
* BugFix: A number of minor bugs have been fixed that mostly
affected the new ExPolygons structure.
v4.3.0 - 17 June 2011
* New: ExPolygons structure that explicitly associates 'hole'
polygons with their 'outer' container polygons.
* New: Execute method overloaded so the solution parameter
can now be either Polygons or ExPolygons.
* BugFix: Fixed a rare bug in solution polygons orientation.
v4.2.8 - 21 May 2011
* Update: JoinCommonEdges() improved once more.
* BugFix: Several minor bugs fixed.
v4.2.6 - 1 May 2011
* Bugfix: minor bug in SlopesEqual function.
* Update: Merging of output polygons sharing common edges
has been significantly inproved
v4.2.4 - 26 April 2011
Input polygon coordinates can now contain the full range of
signed 64bit integers (ie +/-9,223,372,036,854,775,807). This
means that floating point values can be converted to and from
Clipper's 64bit integer coordinates structure (IntPoint) and
still retain a precision of up to 18 decimal places. However,
since the large-integer math that supports this expanded range
imposes a small cost on performance (~15%), a new property
UseFullCoordinateRange has been added to the Clipper class to
allow users the choice of whether or not to use this expanded
coordinate range. If this property is disabled, coordinate values
are restricted to +/-1,500,000,000.
v4.2 - 12 April 2011
JoinCommonEdges() code significantly improved plus other minor
improvements.
v4.1.2 - 9 April 2011
* Update: Minor code tidy.
* Bugfix: Possible endless loop in JoinCommonEdges() in clipper.pas.
v4.1.1 - 8 April 2011
* Update: All polygon coordinates are now stored as 64bit integers
(though they're still restricted to range -1.5e9 to +1.5e9 pending
the inclusion of code supporting 64bit math).
* Change: AddPolygon and AddPolygons methods now return boolean
values.
* Bugfix: Bug in JoinCommonEdges() caused potential endless loop.
* Bugfix: Bug in IsClockwise(). (C++ code only)
v4.0 - 5 April 2011
* Clipper 4 is a major rewrite of earlier versions. The biggest
change is that floating point values are no longer used,
except for the storing of edge slope values. The main benefit
of this is the issue of numerical robustness has been
addressed. Due to other major code improvements Clipper v4
is approximately 40% faster than Clipper v3.
* The AddPolyPolygon method has been renamed to AddPolygons.
* The IgnoreOrientation property has been removed.
* The clipper_misc library has been merged back into the
main clipper library.
v3.1.0 - 17 February 2011
* Bugfix: Obscure bug in TClipperBase.SetDx method that caused
problems with very small edges ( edges <1/1000th pixel in size).
v3.0.3 - 9 February 2011
* Bugfix: Significant bug, but only in C# code.
* Update: Minor refactoring.
v3.0 - 31 January 2011
* Update: Major rewrite of the portion of code that calculates
the output polygons' orientation.
* Update: Help file significantly improved.
* Change: Renamed ForceOrientation property to IgnoreOrientation.
If the orientation of output polygons is not important, or can
be managed separately, clipping routines can be sped up by about
60% by setting IgnoreOrientation to true. Defaults to false.
* Change: The OffsetPolygon and Area functions have been moved to
the new unit - clipper_misc.
2.99 - 15 January 2011
* Bugfix: Obscure bug in AddPolygon method could cause an endless loop.
2.8 - 20 November 2010
* Updated: Output polygons which previously shared a common
edge are now merged.
* Changed: The orientation of outer polygons is now clockwise
when the display's Y axis is positive downwards (as is
typical for most Windows applications). Inner polygons
(holes) have the opposite orientation.
* Added: Support module for Cairo Graphics Library (with demo).
* Updated: C# and C++ demos.
2.522 - 15 October 2010
* Added C# translation (thanks to Olivier Lejeune) and
a link to Ruby bindings (thanks to Mike Owens).
2.0 - 30 July 2010
* Clipper now clips using both the Even-Odd (alternate) and
Non-Zero (winding) polygon filling rules. (Previously Clipper
assumed the Even-Odd rule for polygon filling.)
1.4c - 16 June 2010
* Added C++ support for AGG graphics library
1.2s - 2 June 2010
* Added C++ translation of clipper.pas
1.0 - 9 May 2010
