Enhancements

  • CylinderKey and CylinderKit Can set the normal of a cylinder cap at beginning and end of cylinder in HPS::CylinderKey and HPS::CylinderKit. Similar to a Circle, the normal defines the plane in which the endcap lies.

  • Long wireframes The HOOPS Exchange Sprocket now gives control over long wireframes to remove them or not, depending on a defined threshold value. Please refer to link here for more information.

Functional changes

  • libtiff upgrade. Upgraded libtiff to v4.6.0t to address critical vulnerabilities and exposures.

  • fribidi upgrade. Upgraded Fribidi to v1.0.15 to address critical vulnerabilities and exposures.

  • Parasolid Support Support for Parasolid geometry modeling kernel has been upgraded to V35.1.

  • ExchangeParasolid Import Status Handling Import() for Parasolid file types through Exchange now takes ImportNotifier as an argument instead of returning it as a value. This ensures the ImportNotifier exists before starting the import operation in order to better catch errors that can occur during the import process. Previously, if an error occured before the notifier was constructed, it was possible the notifer would not reach the EmergencyHandler. static ImportNotifier Import(char const* in_file_name, ImportOptionsKit const& in_options) is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
