- split Far::PatchDescriptor into its own class (mirrors Far::PatchParam)
- hide PatchArray as a private internal structure
- add public accessors patterned after Far::TopologyRefiner (returning Vtr::Arrays)
- propagate new API to all dependent code
note: some direct table accessors have not been removed *yet* - see code for details
- re-implement the pool allocator
- use templates to remove code redundancy between regular & limit stencils
- leverage [] operator overloading to simplify stencil factorization
- add the ability to treat subdivision levels independently (see below)
- refactor Far::TopologyRefiner::Interpolate<>() methods to pass buffers by reference
(allows overloading of [] operator)
- rename some of the stencil factory options
- propagate changes to Osd / examples / tutorials...
Make the sample locations dynamic by adding a velocity vector. Face boundary
crossing is handled using the new ptex adjacency functionality recently
added to the Far::TopologyRefiner.
Sync'ing the 'dev' branch with the 'feature_3.0dev' branch at commit 68c6d11fc36761ae1a5e6cdc3457be16f2e9704a
The branch 'feature_3.0dev' is now locked and preserved for historical purposes.
