animationUtil.cm

Removed the following deprecated interfaces

Removed: public void simulateMove(Animation a, line[] moveLines, WindowView view=null) {
Removed: public void simulateMove(Animation a, line moveLine, WindowView view=null) {
Removed: public void simulateMove(Animation a, point2D[] ps, WindowView view=null) {
Removed: public void simulateMove(Animation a, point2D p, WindowView view=null) {
Removed: public void simulateClick(Animation a, line[] clickLines, WindowView view=null) {
Removed: public void simulateClick(Animation a, line clickLine, WindowView view=null) {
Removed: public void simulateClick(Animation a, point2D[] clickPos, WindowView view=null) {
Removed: public void simulateClick(Animation a, point2D clickPos=point2D(), WindowView view=null) {

The reason for this is that the Animation argument is redundant, since there is only one active animation at any given moment. As replacement, use the corresponding simulateAnimationMove(..) or simulateAnimationClicks(..) function. They work in the same way, with the exception that they always target the active animation (animation()).

Move of AplicationManager

ApplicationManager has been moved to cm.application. If you get any build/compile errors,you can include the following in your package.cm : use cm.application;

Toolbox animation helpers

The following function has been removed, its replacement lives in cm.core.toolbox:

Old: public Animation getLazyToolboxAnimation(symbol snapperPkg, str snapperName, str c3CatalogId) : deprecated {
New: public Animation lazyGetToolboxAnimation(symbol animationPkg, str animationName, AnimationSpawner spawner=null, str c3CatalogId=null) {

Constructor changes to ViewModeBar

We have introduced a new argument bool insidePopupView with a default value of false.

Old: public constructor(Window parent) {
New: public constructor(Window parent, bool insidePopupView=false) {

Removal of contextualViewSettingsCategorizationItem.cm

This file and all content in it has been removed. It contained an experimental "auto categorization" system that has not been released and is now superseded by a similar system in cm/core/visibility/categorize/ that was released in 15.5 minor.

The following public interfaces were removed:

Removed: public void autoAddUserCategoriesFromToolbar(Object o) {
Removed: public class CategorizationToolbar extends ContextualViewToolbar {
Removed: public class CATContextualViewToolbarScrollWin extends ContextualViewToolbarScrollWin {
Removed: public class CategorizationToolbarModel extends ContextualViewToolbarModel {
Removed: public class CategoryRecordToolbarItem extends ToolbarModelItem {

class NavigationBehavior3D

To improve performance we have implemented a cache for picking in 3d. This means the cost of calling objectsAt multiple times on the same mouseline is greatly reduced. This means we can make the call to objectsAt when it is guaranteed that the result will be used instead of doing it once and passing the result along to where it perhaps will be used.

Old: extend public void move(View3D view, Object[] objectsAtPos) {
New: extend public void move(View3D view, WindowViewMouseInfo mi) {

In this case, the argument objectsAtPos was computed as follows:

Object[] objects = view.objectsAt(mi.pos, selectionOnTop=true, onlySelectable=true);
view.removeObjects(objects, [Class: ViewFocusPoint, DropArea]);

Consider if there are cases when you don't need objectsAt, e.g., during animations.

Removal of logging drawing and usage statistics

Removed interfaces related to the collection of usage and drawing statistics which is now deprecated.

Removed:
public void initCoreUsageLog()
public CoreUsageSampler coreUsageSampler()
public StatsUsageDB coreUsageSamplerDB()
public class CoreUsageSampler
public bool dbgTestStatisticsReporting=(bool v)

Mirror

The Snapper mirror functionality uses the space coordinates of the Snapper and the space coordinates of the mirroring plane to calculate the mirrored Snapper position and rotation. However, this was not implemented completely for Child Snappers.

Starting 16.0, Child Snappers will now mirror based on its local coordinates, and uses its parent's symmetry line as the reflecting plane instead. The new strategy ignores the need to have the parent snappers coordinate to be correct, also removing the hassle to translate coordinates to space and back to the child's local coordinates.

To ensure your child snappers work correctly with mirror, make sure the parent snappers have their mirrorPoint() and angleOfSymmetry() methods overriden to return the proper values. mirrorPoint() still return a value in space coordinates for child snappers. Please refer to this article for an explanation of what each method should return - Mirroring Snappers

We added a tool to aid in finding the correct value in Debug Graphics Toolbar : Mirror

If you have implemented fixes for mirroring child snappers in your extension previously, we recommend to remove any code that perform previously unhandled transformations for child snappers, and instead return corresponding values for mirrorPoint() and angleOfSymmetry() if the default values do not work for your case.

We also removed some code which do not have any use anymore in MirrorEnv:

Removed: public int->Point2D oldMirrorPoints();
Removed: public int->Angle oldAnglesOfSymmetry();

class SnapperSelection

Old: extend public void cleanUpSelectionIds(int{} ids) {
New: extend public void cleanUpSelectionIds(int{} ids, bool undoable=true) {

Removal of CoreBoundSaver

The following classes and functions have been removed as they have been superseeded by FrameWindow's ability to automatically save size and position. You can see more details under the Runtime / Behavior Changes for cm.win.

Removed: public BoundSaver coreBoundSaver() {
Removed: public class CoreSingleBoundSaver extends BoundSaver {
Removed: public class CoreMultiBoundSaver extends BoundSaver {

# CoreAppWindow
Removed: final public void saveWindowBound() {

The following functionality has been renamed and moved to cm.application

Old: public bool isPrimaryCoreAppWindow(CoreAppWindow this) {
New: public bool isPrimaryAppWindow(AppWindow appWindow) {

Removal of logging drawing and usage statistics

Usage and drawing statistics are no longer logged.

Improvements to flush dead pool

Previously, flushDeadPool had a default budget of 100 snappers which incorrectly flushed every snapper on each call. We have now fixed flushDeadPool to correctly consider the budget. To maintain compatibility with the old behavior, we have tweaked the default arguments. It also now validates the snapeprs to be processed by the CET query language with a budget of 1ms.

Old: extend public void flushDeadPool(RemoveSnappersEnv env=null, Int budget=Int(100), bool updateDialogs=true) {
New: extend public void flushDeadPool(RemoveSnappersEnv env=null, Int budget=null, bool updateDialogs=true) {

class TaggableSnapper

Added setItemTagInfo method for use with Part to push ItemTag updates through. This facilitated the ability to mark a Ind. Tag as user modified for the Preserve Ind. Tag customizations setting introduced to user in the Control Panel for Calculations.

 New: extend public void setItemTagInfo(Part part, str key, ItemTagInfo info, bool userMod=false)

afterGetParts was modified to never remove a user modified tag from the tag collection and space.
