Added an important hint at NaroCAD: on a Sketch when the current drawing point is on the same X or Y coordinate with an existing shape some hint is displayed to help user "catch" that coordinate:
It also catches line mid points and axis origin.

Unit tests enhancements
In order to make a new release version started bug fixing the Sketch related issues. The first step was to fix the project building paths for all modules, then fix some unit tests. Added tests for SketchCreator, a class that manages sketches and calculates projections on them.
Will try to isolate bugs in unit tests before fixing them.

Hinter bug fixing
Fixed the parallel to axis hint display. Added support for coloured hints display so that parallels with OX are shown with red, parallels to OY with green and to OZ with blue.

Feature development started
After a couple days of wrapper enhancements and fixes for trying to port Naro on OCC 6.5.0 and 6.5.1 ported the enhancements on the 6.3.0 and built a working Naro on 6.3.0.
In order to show some progress on the Naro feature side will start bug fixing and enhancing it leaving the 6.5.X porting as a secondary task. The problem doesn't seem to be be on the wrapper side but seems to be caused by different usage on the OpenCascade side. Tried also playing with the OCC environment settings (like changing the memory allocator and multithreading), the problem doesn't seem to be on that side.

OpenCascade 650 wrappers
Ported the new wrappers to OpenCascade 6.5.0. Fixed Naro to work with these wrappers.
Started investigating on crashes that appear on 6.5.0.
Not committed yet on Sourceforge until some stable version of wrappers is made.

Wrappers review and bug fixing
Together with my colleague reviewed and fixed the new wrappers.
One big fix was made: the IsSameTransient method was fixed. Now selections work properly on Naro.
Also investigated why Naro's memory increases with usage. With some memory mapper that was tracking allocations and deallocations it seems that all objects are properly deallocated. Added also a CppDisplayLeaks() method that dumps memory leaks in the Output window, nothing dumped as leak.
It seems that at the wrapper level no leaking is made but still the memory increasing while using Naro is suspect, leaking is not completely excluded.
Started researching on crashes when running Naro with OpenCascade 6.5.0, this is the next fix we need to make.

Fixes on splash screen
The splash screen was changed so that it doesn't stay on top of other windows.
Making the splash screen stay on top on all other application can be very annoying when working with other applications, because it cannot be moved out of the way.
We made this fix after reading the error reports. Thank you for reporting, and don't hesitate to tell us about other problems as well. Other issues might take more time time to fix, but we always keep track of them. You can also discuss on the forum about such problems.
This fix is will be available from the next release and in all nighty builds. Thank you for the cooperation and enjoy NaroCAD.

NaroCAD wrapper memory leaks fixed
NaroCAD leaks in the new wrapper were fixed. Also, as the project does not depend to have the same wrapped Visual Studio version worked with just a project migration to run in VS 2010 (this is a topic for future discussion, but the idea remains: is just a project migration away, the C++ code will be generated with VS 2010 compiler, yet the target runtime for upgraded project is still .Net 3.5 SP1, to not ask an extra big download dependency for running NaroCAD).
The single remaining bug is IsSameTransient equality test and all tooling is ready for OpenCascade 6.5 usage crashes (that will be likely be ported very very soon, before the next release).
