<li>
<h2>v6.0.0 (30 October 2013)</h2><br>
<ul>
<li><span class="maroon"><b>Ver 6 is a MAJOR update that adds support for open path clipping.</b></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h2>Added:</h2>
<ul class="dots">
Open path (polyline) clipping. A new 'Curves' demo application showcases this (see the 'Curves' directory).
</ul> </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h2>Update:</h2>
<ul class="dots">
Major improvement in the merging of shared/collinear edges in clip solutions (see <a href="../Units/ClipperLib/Classes/Clipper/Methods/Execute.htm">Execute</a>).
</ul> </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h2>Added:</h2>
<ul class="dots">
The <a href="../Units/ClipperLib/Types/IntPoint.htm"><b>IntPoint</b></a>

<h2>Added:</h2>
<ul class="dots">
Users can now force Clipper to use 32bit integers (via the precompiler
directive <a href="../Units/ClipperLib/PreProcessor/Defines.htm"><b>use_int32</b></a>)
instead of using 64bit integers. Using 32bit integers improves clipping
performance by about 20-30%. (This has required the introduction of a
new <a href="../Units/ClipperLib/Types/CInt.htm"><b>cInt</b></a>
integer type.) The trade-off to this speed up in performance is a very
restricted vertex coordinate range of 46340.
</ul> </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h2>Modified:</h2>
<ul class="dots">
To accommodate open paths, the <b>Polygon</b> and <b>Polygons</b> structures have been renamed <a href="../Units/ClipperLib/Types/Path.htm"><b>Path</b></a> and <a href="../Units/ClipperLib/Types/Paths.htm"><b>Paths</b></a>
respectively. The <b>AddPolygon</b> and <b>AddPolygons</b> methods of the ClipperBase class have been renamed <a href="../Units/ClipperLib/Classes/ClipperBase/Methods/AddPath.htm"><b>AddPath</b></a> and <a href="../Units/ClipperLib/Classes/ClipperBase/Methods/AddPaths.htm"><b>AddPaths</b></a> respectively. Several other functions have been similarly renamed.

<ul>
<li>
<h2>Deprecated:</h2>
<ul class="dots">
Version 6 is a major upgrade from previous versions and <span class="maroon"><b>quite a number of changes have been made to exposed structures and functions</b></span>. 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 <a href="./Deprecated.htm"><b>use_deprecated</b></a>
has been defined.

<ul class="dots">
The behaviour of the 'miter' JoinType has

<h2>v4.2.4 (26 April 2011)</h2>

<h2>Update:</h2>
<ul class="dots">
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
vertex structure (<a href="../Units/ClipperLib/Types/IntPoint.htm">IntPoint</a>)
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. (By
default, this property is enabled.)
</ul> </li>
</ul> </li>
<li>
<h2>v4.0 (4 April 2011)</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<h2>Major update:</h2>
<ul class="dots">
Clipper 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.
</ul> </li>
<li>
<h2>Changes:</h2>
<ul class="dots">
The AddPolyPolygon method has been renamed to AddPolygons, and the
IgnoreOrientation property has been removed. The clipper_misc library
has been merged back into the clipper library.
