Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

2.12.1 - 2024-09-09

Fix

• Fixes #113. This could lead to rare crashes when calling ConstrainedDelaunayTriangulation::add_constraint_and_split

2.12.0 - 2024-08-13

Fix

• Fixes potential crash of ConstrainedDelaunayTriangulation::add_constraint_and_split. This could only happen in rare situations if a newly inserted split point would lie very close to other vertices or edges of the triangulation. See #111
• Potentially breaking: Triangulation::locate, Triangulation::locate_with_hint, Triangulation::locate_vertex and Triangulation::locate_and_remove will all panic if called with a position with a NAN coordinate. The previous behavior was inconsistent - the methods would either crash or return a nonsensical result.

Added

• Added ConstrainedDelaunayTriangulation::remove_constraint_edge(edge)

Fix

• Fixes potential crash when using ConstrainedDelaunayTriangulation::add_constraint_and_split. See #109

2.4.1 - 2023-12-01

Fix

2.0.0 - 2022-01-29

This release is focussed on API refinement, performance improvements and usability improvements.

General API refinement

Many features of Spade 1 showed too little benefit to legitimize keeping them. Spade 2.0 attempts to slim down the API surface to a few important functions and types and leaves out the more complicated bits to make it more simple to use.

Removed features (planned to be re-introduced in an upcoming release)

• Removed interpolation functions

Removed features (not planned to re-introduced)

• Removed support for integer coordinates. Only f64 and f32 can be used as scalar types.
• Removed support for cgmath and nalgebra crate to slim down the crate dependencies.
• Removed PointN. Using Spade now requires to convert any position into Spade::Point2.
• Removed r-tree data structure (it has been moved into the rstar crate)
• Removed geometric primitives (SimpleCircle, SimpleEdge, SimpleTriangle)
• Removed support for custom calculation kernels. Spade now uses the precise calculation kernel by default (previously called FloatKernel).
• Removed support for Delaunay triangulations backed by r-trees. Use the newly introduced HierarchyHintGenerator instead.

Added features

• Added basic support for Voronoi diagrams (refer to the documentation of struct DelaunayTriangulation)
• Added struct HierarchyHintGenerator, a hint generator with small performance and memory overhead which is optimized for uniformly distributed data.
• Improved conciseness of handle types (refer to the handles module for more information):
  • Introduced UndirectedEdgeHandle to refer to undirected edges of the triangulation
  • FaceHandle is now parameterized to denote if it refers to an inner face or to the single outer face
  • Added some methods on the individual handle types
  • Added iterators for all handle types (see handles module)
  • Fixed directed edge handles can now be reversed
• Both DelaunayTriangulation and CDT now allow to also annotate undirected edges with arbitrary data
• Added Triangulation::convex_hull which allows to directly iterate over the triangulation's convex hull
• Added Triangulation::bulk_load for efficient bulk creation of triangulations.

Changed

• Performance improvements
• The newly introduced HierarchyHintGenerator should outperform the r-tree based hint generator consistently for uniformly distributed data sets (2x - 3x times faster)
• LastUsedVertexHintGenerator and its predecessor DelaunayWalkLocate are still comparable.
• The new Triangulation::bulk_load will be more efficient for creating triangulations from a given set of vertices compared to inserting them incrementally.
• Cleaned up crate dependencies: Spade 2.0 depends only on 4 other crates without any transitive dependencies. This should make it more viable to include Spade into other projects.
• Renamed any o_next / o_prev function to next / prev.
• Renamed sym to rev
• Many other smaller changes - they are omitted from this changelog.

Migration notes

Keep in mind that not all features have been preserved before attempting to upgrade. Other than that, upgrading should be mostly consist of renaming:

• FloatDelaunayTriangulation and FloatCdt have been replaced by DelaunayTriangulation and ConstrainedDelaunayTriangulation
• IntDelaunayTriangulation is not supported anymore. Use f64 or f32 as scalar type instead if possible.
• DelaunayWalkLocate has been renamed to LastUsedVertexHintGenerator
• DelaunayTreeLocate has been replaced by HierarchyHintGenerator

1.8.2 - 2020-04-01

Bugfixes

• Removing elements from an rtree could leave the tree in an inconsistent state (#55). This made some nearest neighbor queries return incorrect results.

1.8.0 - 2019-06-20

Changed

• Bumped compatible nalgebra version to 0.18
• Updated edition to 2018
• Fixed all clippy findings
• Cargo fmt'ed source code

Bugfixes

• SimpleTriangle now overwrites both Hash and PartialEq

1.7.0 - 2019-02-08

Changed

• Updated README.md
• Merge #41: Use smallvec in barycentric interpolation
• Bumped compatible cgmath version to 0.17.*
• Bumped compatible nalgebra version to 0.17.*

1.6.0 - 2018-11-1

• SimpleEdge, SimpleCircle, BoundingRect now derive Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord and Hash
• CdtEdge is now public - the type cannot be used, but may be necessary for method signatures containing CDTs.
• Added some standard derives for various other types that are applicable.

Changed

• Bumped compatible nalgebra version to 0.16.*
• Bumped compatible num version to >=0.1, <=0.2.*. This may be a breaking change due to the way cargo resolves dependencies. An upgrade to num 0.2 is recommended.

1.5.1 - 2018-06-12

Bugfixes

• nearest_neighbor sometimes incorrectly returned None

1.5.0 - 2018-06-07

Added

• Added RTree::nearest_neighbor_iterator

Changed

• Improved performance of single nearest neighbor queries
• Bumped compatible nalgebra version to 0.15.*
• Bumped compatible cgmath version to 0.16.*

1.4.0 - 2018-02-25

Added

• Added cargo feature 'serde_serialize', rtrees, triangulations and primitives now support serialization with serde!
• RTrees implement Debug
• New constructor: BoundingRect::from_points

Changed

• Bumped compatible nalgebra version to 0.14.*

Bugfixes

• BoundingRect now implements SpatialObject

1.3.0 - 2018-01-06

Deprecated

• spade::delaunay::DelaunayTriangulation::lookup is deprecated, use locate_vertex instead
• spade::delaunay::DelaunayTriangulation::lookup_and_remove is deprecated, use locate_and_remove instead

Changed

• Bumped compatible cgmath and nalgebra versions.
• Spade's various kernels are not instantiable anymore and implement Clone.

Added

• Spade now implements constrained delaunay triangulations!
• locate and nearest_neighbor now also work with degenerate triangulations
• Added constrained triangulation example
• Added bulk loading for r-trees
• DelaunayTriangulation now implements Clone
• New method for triangulations: get_edge_from_neighbors to get an existing edge from its two adjacent points.

Bugfixes

• Fixed SimpleCircle distance calculation for more than 2 dimensions.

1.2.0 - 2017-05-13

Changed

• Bumped compatible cgmath and nalgebra versions. Unfortunately, due to the way Cargo handles "external dependencies" (thus, dependencies whose types are part of spade's public API like cgmath and nalgebra Points), this must be considered a breaking change.
• FloatKernel now works happily with f32 coordinates. They will be cast to double precision before the kernel evaluates any query, thus, no performance gain results from this. Only the space requirements will differ.

1.1.0 - 2017-04-12

Deprecated

• spade::delaunay::RTreeDelaunayLocate<T> is deprecated, use spade::delaunay::DelaunayTreeLocate<T> instead
• spade::delaunay::TriangulationWalkLocate<T> is deprecated, use spade::delaunay::DelaunayWalkLocate instead ( without any type argument)

Changed

• Insertion into a delaunay triangulation now uses SmallVec from the smallvec crate for better performance.
• Improved interpolation performance - natural neighbor interpolation methods will be significantly faster now.

Added

• Added struct spade::delaunay::DelaunayWalkLocate. The struct will now keep track of the last query made and use it for the next query. A query can be an interpolation, lookup, locate or nearest neighbor query, insertion will also update the hint to the inserted vertex. This means: Subsequent queries that are close to each other will run in O(1) without the need of giving an explicit hint. This behaviour was only implemented for insertion until now.
• Added method spade::delaunay::DelaunayTriangulation::nearest_neighbor
• Added method spade::delaunay::DelaunayTriangulation::locate_vertex
• Added method spade::primitives::SimpleEdge::length2
• Added an interpolation benchmark

• Removed DelaunayTriangulation::lookup_in_circle(..) and lookup_in_rect(..). These methods will likely be added again in a later release.

0.3.0 - 2016-12-10

Changed

• VectorN trait trimmed down, now contains only a small set of functions.

Added

• [S; 2], [S; 3] and [S; 4] now implement VectorN and TwoDimensional or ThreeDimensional when appropriate. This change allows to insert fixed size arrays that encode positions directly into RTree or DelaunayInterpolation.

Added

• Documentaion to all functions and types intended for public use
• RTree::lookup_mut(..)

• SimpleTriangle::is_ordered_ccw(..)

Fixed

• Potential crashes when inserting points into a DelaunayTriangulation, even though FloatKernel was used.

Changed

• cgmath dependency bumped to 0.12.*
• DelaunayTriangulations and some primitives now will only work with two-dimensional coordinates. Using higher dimensions actually yielded unspecified results.

0.1.0 - 2016-09-23
