Apart from simplifying code, the allocated memory is not managed by the lifetime of the unique pointer owned by the GeometryFacade, preventing memory leaks.

Creation of EditModeCoinManager class and helpers.
In a nutshell:
- EditModeCoinManager gets most of the content of struct EditData
- Drawing is partly outsourced to EditModeCoinManager
- EditModeCoinManager gets a nested Observer class to deal with parameters
- A struct DrawingParameters is created to store all parameters used for drawing
- EditModeCoinManager assume responsibility for determining the drawing size of the Axes
- Preselection detection responsibility is moved to EditModeCoinManager.
- Generation of constraint nodes and constraint drawing is moved to EditModeCoinManager.
- Constraint generation parameters are refactored into ConstraintParameters.
- Text rendering functions are moved to EditModeCoinManager.
- Move HDPI resolution responsibility from VPSketch to EditModeCoinManager
- Move responsibility to create the scenograph for edit mode to EditModeCoinManager
- Move full updateColor responsibility to EditModeCoinManager
- Allows for mapping N logical layers (LayerId of GeometryFacade) to M coin Layers (M<N). This
is convenient as, unless the representation must be different, there is no point in creating coin
layers (overhead).
Refactoring of geometry drawing:
- Determination of the curve values to draw are outsourced to OCC (SRP and remove code duplications).
- Refactor specific drawing of each geometry type into a single template method, based on classes of geometry.
- Drawing of geometry and constraints made agnostic of scale factors of BSpline weights so that a uniform treatment can be provided.
Refactoring of Overlay Layer:
- A new class EditModeInformationOverlayConverter is a full rewrite of the previous overlay routines.
ViewProviderSketch:
- Major cleanup due to migration of functionalities to EditModeCoinManager
- Reduce public api of ViewProviderSketch due to refactor of DrawSketchHandler
- Major addition of documentation
- ShortcutListener implementation using new ViewProvider Attorney
- Gets a parameter handling nested class to handle all parameters (observer)
- Move rubberband to smart pointer
- Refactor selection and preselection into nested classes
- Removal of SEL_PARAMS macro. This macro was making the code unreadable as it "captured" a local stringstream that appeared unused. Substituted by local private member functions.
- Remove EditData
- Improve documentation
- Refactor Preselection struct to remove magical numbers
- Refactor Selection mechanism to remove hacks
ViewProviderSketchDrawSketchHandlerAttorney:
- new Attorney to limit access to ViewProviderSketch and reduce its public interface
- In order to enforce a certain degree of encapsulation and promote a not too tight coupling, while still allowing well
defined collaboration, DrawSketchHandler accesses ViewProviderSketch via this Attorney class.
-DrawSketchHandler has the responsibility of drawing edit temporal curves and markers necessary to enable visual feedback
to the user, as well as the UI interaction during such edits. This is its exclusive responsibility under the Single
Responsibility Principle.
- A plethora of speciliased handlers derive from DrawSketchHandler for each specialised editing (see for example all the
handlers for creation of new geometry). These derived classes do * not * have direct access to the
ViewProviderSketchDrawSketchHandlerAttorney. This is intentional to keep coupling under control. However, generic
functionality requiring access to the Attorney can be implemented in DrawSketchHandler and used from its derived classes
by virtue of the inheritance. This promotes a concentrating the coupling in a single point (and code reuse).
EditModeCoinManager:
- Refactor of updateConstraintColor
- Multifield - new struct to identify a single element in a multifield field per layer
- Move geometry management to delegate class EditModeCoinGeometryManager
- Remove refactored code that was never used in the original ViewProviderSketch.
CommandSketcherBSpline:
- EditModeCoinManager automatically tracks parameter change and triggers the necessary redraw, rendering an explicit redraw obsolete and unnecessary.
Rebase on top of master:
- Commits added to master to ViewProviderSketch applied to EditModeCoinManager.
- Memory leaks - wmayer
- Constraint Diameter Symbol - OpenBrain
- Minor bugfix to display angle constraints - syres
Architecture Description
=======================
* Encapsulation and collaboration - restricting friendship - reducing public interface
Summary:
- DrawSketchHandler to ViewProviderSketch friendship regulated via attorney.
- ShortcutListener to ViewProviderSketch friendship regulated via attorney.
- EditModeCoinManager (new class) to ViewProviderSketch friendship regulated via attorney.
- ViewProviderSketch public interface is heavily reduced.
In further detail:
While access from ViewProviderSketch to other classes is regulated via their public interface, DrawSketchHandler, ShortcutListener and EditCoinManager (new class) access
to ViewProviderSketch non-public interface via attorneys. Previously, it was an unrestricted access (friend classes). Now this interface is restricted and regulated via attorneys.
This increases the encapsulation of ViewProviderSketch, reduces the coupling between classes and promotes an ordered growth. This I call the "collaboration interface".
At the same time, ViewProviderSketch substantially reduces its public interface. Access from Command draw handlers (deriving from DrawSketchHandler) is intended to be restricted to
the functionality exposed by DrawSketchHandler to its derived classes. However, this is still only partly enforced to keep the refactoring within limits. A further refactoring of
DrawSketchHandler and derivatives is for future discussion.
* Complexity and delegation
Summary:
- Complexity of coin node management is dealt with by delegation to helper classes and specialised objects.
In further detail:
ViewProviderSketch is halved in terms of code size. Higher level ViewProviderSketch functions remain
* Automatic update of parameters - Parameter observer nested classes
Summary:
- ViewProviderSketch and CoinManager get their own observer nested classes to monitor the parameters relevant to them and automatically update on change.
The split enables that each class deals only with parameters within their own responsibilities, effectively isolating the specifics and decoupling the implementations. It is
more convenient as there is no need to leave edit mode to update parameters. It is more compact as it leverages core code.

GeoEnum static members are used in constexpr in GeoListId.
Previous code worked because the static members where inside the same translation unit.
This code:
1. Declares the static members to use them as constant expressions with the value
2. Definition of the static members (odr-used) shall not contain an initializer.
* Points: translate doxygen from DE to EN + fix superfluous whitespace
For the purpose of making the source documentation uniform, source comments in this file were translated to english.
* Points: remove superfluous whitespace
* Fix left over DE to EN translations (from Cam and Mesh code)
I introduced FreeCAD to several people and see that especially newbies are confused with all the warnings they get but cannot understand.
The solution was to change that the report view panel is not automatically shown on every warning.
This PR does this.
More experienced users can anytime enable the option. Thus this PR has not much impact but obviously makes life easier for beginners.
I was informed that Gmsh names itself with a capital G. I had a look and in FEM it is already named Gmsh, but not in the Mesh WB. Therefore this PR.
(The other changes than the pure renaming was automatically done by Qt's designer.)
When new control points are created in a b-spline in a sketch, do not constrain
their weights to be equal to the first, unless they are already equal. This way
if we have unequal weights to begin with and OCC has computed the appropriate
weights so that the new spline is closer to the original, the weights are not
disturbed.
A property _ObjectUUID will be added to an object before it is being to
copied, if the property does not exists. Anoter propert _SourceUUID
property will be added to any copied object, with value set to its
source objct's _ObjectUUID.
To compare if two property contains the same content. The default
implementation in Property uses the persistense interface to save both
properties to string and compares the content. This may not work at the
moment if the property saves content in separate file or in binary.
Various properties have cheaper implementation to direct compare their
internal values.
New property status bit 'CopyOnChange' is added for any document object
to publish any property as a 'Configuration' option. When Link is
linked to any object with such property, it will duplicate those
properties and added it Link itself as dynamic properties. If the user
changes any of these dynamic properties, the Link will auto copy the
linked to object and apply the new configuration to it.
The Link has a new property 'LinkCopyOnChange' to allow user to
enable/disable this feature.
Spreadsheet's 'Configuration Table' feature will publish its
configuration property with 'CopyOnChange'.
Currently, once the linked object is copied, it will be independent with
the original object. There is no mechanism to auto sync changes back to
the copy.
No longer add dynamic property for alias, simply rely on
get(Dynamic)PropertyByName() to check for aliases.
Add new API PropertyContainer::getPropertyNamedList() so that
ExpressionCompleter can discover properties with aliases.
