CGAL 4.0 released

The CGAL Open Source Project is pleased to announce the Release 4.0 of CGAL, the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library.

Besides fixes to existing packages major features where added in the following packages.

Linear Cell Complex (new package)

This package implements linear cell complexes, objects in d-dimension with linear geometry. The combinatorial part of objects is described by a combinatorial map, representing all the cells of the object plus the incidence and adjacency relations between cells. Geometry is added to combinatorial maps simply by associating a point to each vertex of the map. This data structure can be seen as the generalization in dD of the Polyhedron_3.

See here for a complete list of changes.
