• Several minor bugfixes: #152 #160 #161 #162

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.

• 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

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.

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• Modified: The OffsetPaths function is now deprecated as it has been replaced by the ClipperOffset class which is much more flexible.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

• 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

• 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).
