It’s that time of year when a new release of CityEngine becomes available (okay we think it maybe the 9th of April)! Yes we would love more bug fixes and features added, but they’re a small development team so we shall forgive them (this time…).
As usual the Changelogs are publicly available here.
CGA Changelog
2015.0
CGAC 1.5 |
new functions:
changes to existing features:
- split operations:
- missing sizes are not allowed any longer. For instance, split(x) { A } does not compile anymore. The correct equivalent is split(x) { ~1: A }.
- functions in size expression do not need extra parantheses anymore.
- @Hidden annotation: changed propagation across imports. A hidden import hides all its imports recursively.
- uid shape attribute deprecated. Use the getTreeKey function instead.
bugfixes:
- Fixed a bug in the cgb decoder which failed to read compiled cga files with a large number of attributes/rules/splits.
- Vertexmerger: fixed a bug which prevented hole vertices to be merged with vertices of other faces.
- float() function: made string-to-float conversion independent of locale.
- split operations: intensified internal mesh cleanup to reduce memory load, fixed a bug which led to undesired vertex-merges.
- roofHip operation: avoid duplicate vertices.
- offset, roofGable and roofHip operations: made offset / roof construction more stable on polygons with co-linear vertices and fixed a memory explosion bug.
- cleanupGeometry operation: fixed bug which led to illegal material assignements (“filled holes rendering bug”) on edge cleanup for geometries with per-face-materials.
- Fixed undefined behaviour if the same name was used for a scalar attr and a map attr.
- CGA compiler: Parameteric rules and functions with a large number of parameters do not hang the compiler / CityEngine anymore.
