"Professional CMake" book suggest the following:
"Targets should build successfully with or without compiler support for precompiled headers. It
should be considered an optimization, not a requirement. In particular, do not explicitly include a
precompile header (e.g. stdafx.h) in the source code, let CMake force-include an automatically
generated precompile header on the compiler command line instead. This is more portable across
the major compilers and is likely to be easier to maintain. It will also avoid warnings being
generated from certain code checking tools like iwyu (include what you use)."
Therefore, removed the "#include <PreCompiled.h>" from sources, also
there is no need for the "#ifdef _PreComp_" anymore
Every basic data type is stored in Base module, color is standing out as
one that does not. Moving it to Base opens possibilities to integrate it
better with the rest of FreeCAD.
Improves the use of the ShapeAppearance property for the Part workbench.
removes DiffuseColor property
adds Python compatibility using custom attributes
transitions DiffuseColor to ShapeAppearance on open
Improved UI elements for setting object appearance, and appearance per face
Lays the foundation for future texture support
Uses new material system for appearance
Each feature object now has a property called ShapeMaterial that
describes its physical properties. If it has a shape, it has a
material.
The ShapeColor attribute is replaced by a ShapeAppearance attribute.
This is a material list that describes all appearance properties, not
just diffuse color. As a list in can be used for all elements of a
shape, such as edges and faces.
A new widget is provided to allow the user to select materials in a
consistent fashion. It can also launch the material editor with its
more advanced capabilities.
