Previously, the minimum contour width was chosen too conservative and, on some thin objects, only allowed minimal (or non) offset. This could result in travels being planned along the outer perimeter.
Now, the minimum contour width is chosen much smaller at the start and tested if the variable offset wasn't failed (the outer contour broke up into more parts, more or fewer holes, etc.).
If any problem is detected, the variable offset is recalculated with a larger minimum contour width.
Caused by changed behaviour of offset/expand functions when called on CW polygons (holes) after 7ff76d0768. When it is called expand on CW polygons (holes), they shrunk instead of expanded.
Using a float instead of a double caused accumulation of error in the calculated distance, which in rare cases triggered an assert in get_shortest_direction().
circular, convex, concave) and performs efficient collision detection agains these build
volumes. As of now, collision detection is performed against a convex
hull of a concave build volume for efficency.
GCodeProcessor::Result renamed out of GCodeProcessor to GCodeProcessorResult,
so it could be forward declared.
Plater newly exports BuildVolume, not Bed3D. Bed3D is a rendering class,
while BuildVolume is a purely geometric class.
Reduced usage of global wxGetApp, the Bed3D is passed as a parameter
to View3D/Preview/GLCanvas.
Convex hull code was extracted from Geometry.cpp/hpp to Geometry/ConvexHulll.cpp,hpp.
New test inside_convex_polygon().
New efficent point inside polygon test: Decompose convex hull
to bottom / top parts and use the decomposition to detect point inside
a convex polygon in O(log n). decompose_convex_polygon_top_bottom(),
inside_convex_polygon().
New Circle constructing functions: circle_ransac() and circle_taubin_newton().
New polygon_is_convex() test with unit tests.
did not change compared to the preceding value creating empty "G1" lines.
The empty "G1" lines are now removed.
Improves Features fail with extra G1 moves when above a certain layer height and Detect Thin Walls is enabled #5176
Improves Thin wall detection causes miniature loops to be added, and emits empty G1 commands #3058
for offset2() with clear meaning.
New ClipperUtils functions: expand(), shrink() as an alternative
for offset() with clear meaning.
All offset values for the new functions are positive.
Various offsetting ClipperUtils (offset, offset2, offset2_ex) working
over Polygons were marked as unsafe, sometimes producing invalid output
if called for more than one polygon. These functions were reworked
to offset polygons one by one. The new functions working over Polygons
shall work the same way as the old safe ones working over ExPolygons,
but working with Polygons shall be computationally more efficient.
Improvements in FDM support generator:
1) For both grid and snug supports: Don't filter out supports for which
the contacts are completely reduced by support / object XY separation.
2) Rounding / merging of supports using the closing radius parameter is
now smoother, it does not produce sharp corners.
3) Snug supports: When calculating support interfaces, expand the projected
support contact areas to produce wider, printable and more stable interfaces.
4) Don't reduce support interfaces for snug supports for steep overhangs,
that would normally not need them. Snug supports often produce very
narrow support interface regions and turning them off makes the support
interfaces disappear.
This is a regression wrt. PrusaSlicer 2.4.0-alpha1 due to the G-code
processing optimization and parallelization.

TriangleMesh newly only holds indexed_triangle_set and
TriangleMeshStats. TriangleMeshStats contains an excerpt of stl_stats.
TriangleMeshStats are updated when initializing with indexed_triangle_set.
Admesh triangle mesh fixing is newly only used when loading an STL.
AMF / 3MF / OBJ file formats are already indexed triangle sets, thus
they are no more converted to admesh stl_file format, nor fixed
through admesh repair machinery. When importing AMF / 3MF / OBJ files,
volume is calculated and if negative, all faces are flipped. Also
a bounding box and number of open edges is calculated.
Implemented its_number_of_patches(), its_num_open_edges()
Optimized its_split(), its_is_splittable() using a visitor pattern.
Reworked QHull integration into TriangleMesh:
1) Face normals were not right.
2) Indexed triangle set is newly emitted instead of duplicating
vertices for each face.
Fixed cut_mesh(): Orient the triangulated faces correctly.
WIP to G-code export parallelization through pipelining:
Decoupled CoolingBuffer from GCode / GCodeWriter, ready to be
pipelined on a different thread.
WIP to G-code export parallelization through pipelining:
GCodeProcessor is called during the G-code export,
the G-code is no more reopened and re-read, but it is pipelined
from the G-code generator.
GCodeViewer no more parses G-code just to extract line end positions.
Removed start_mapping_gcode_window(), void stop_mapping_gcode_window(),
they are no more needed.
1) Starting with this commit, configuration block exported into G-code
is delimited by "; prusaslicer_config = begin" and "; prusaslicer_config = end".
These delimiters look like any other key / value configuration pairs
on purpose to be compatible with older PrusaSlicer config parsing from G-code.
2) Config parser from G-code newly searches for "; generated by ..."
comment over the complete G-code, thus it is compatible with various
post processing scripts extending the G-code at the start.
3) Config parser from G-code parses PrusaSlicer version from
the "; generated by PrusaSlicer ...." header and if the G-code was
generated by PrusaSlicer 2.4.0-alpha0 and newer, it expects that
the G-code already contains the "; prusaslicer_config = begin / end"
tags and it relies on these tags to extract configuration.
4) A new simple and robust parser was written for reading project configuration
from 3MF / AMF, while a heuristic parser to read config from G-code located
at the end of the G-code file was used before.
