NaroCAD 1.0 Released

NaroCAD reaches the first important milestone and we are proud to announce as NaroCAD 1.0

NaroCAD is an opensource CAD design tool written in C#/.NET and is built on top of proven OpenCascade library (www.opencascade.org). Also it provides wrappers for OpenCascade library that are accessible from any .NET language. This milestone is a hard work consisting in 1200 commits that adds a lot of features and we will point in short here:
- document model similar with OpenCascade's OCAF but C# based, using generics, easily debuggable. High performance undo/redo computing, serializable.
- the label's attributes are defined in a C#/.NET friendly way, no GUIDs involved, and the code of serializing/deserializing even complex types is trivial. You can work out of the box with the following types, but you can add on your own others: integer, double, string, color, reference
- clean shape definition using dependency solving notifications and easily make possible parametric programming. Separate dependency framewework that can be reused
- command line extensible framework so you can automate your new added shapes
- there is a solver component that let you get closest geometry. It is useful as it gives for user hints as long as he edit them.
- visual pipes&filters framework that you have access to various resources like: OpenCascade's context and view, document, open and save dialogs, solver. In case is too complex for you, there is a premade action that gets your custom function and creates everything for you.
- easy to work OpenCascade wrapping focused to minimize the lines you will write your own extensions
- decoupled code for most components, clean design
- and much more (integrated bug reporter, repository like update, IronPython integration, unit testing, etc.)
