* Smoothing function: provide ability to keep horizontal/vertical lines (important for cut lines)
* Introducting API compatibility macros for generic plugins.
* #730: providing a new Qt module named QtUiTools for QUiLoader class support.
* Fixed a compile error on Mac
* Added QtUiTools to some more places
* Fixed a linker issue in the QtUiTools Python lib
* On occasion fixed a infinite recursion problem in the debugger
The recursion happened because by mistake I instantiated a
QApplication inside an in-application Python script. This
crashed the debugger due to infinite recursion. This is not
a real use case but to prevent similar issues, a recursion
sentinel was added.
* Removed QCoreApplication#notify from script bindings
Reasoning: "notify" made standalone scripts using QApplication and
QUiLoader virtually impossible.
Problem description:
- When a QApplication object is instantiated, e.g. in Python, the Qt binding
will install reimplementation hooks as the object may be dynamically
extended.
- A notify is virtual this means the *every* "notify" call in the application
is routed through the interpreter.
- For one thing this will slow down the application
- But as "notify" is called a zillion times this has more than this side effect.
- Specifically "notify" is called from within the QWidget constructor to
indicate a new widget. Then, if a QDialog for example is instatiated, it's
base class constructor will call "notify" when the object isn't ready yet.
- This has another severe side effect: as the object isn't ready yet, it gets
registered in the Python space with the wrong class and QDialog is not visible
as such.
To mitigate these problems, the most efficient solution is to disable "notify"
in general. There is hardly any use case in a script environment (in C++,
apart from hacking the only reasonable use case is exception handling, but
this does not apply to scripts). For providing the call functionality of
"notify" you should better use "postEvent" or "sendEvent" anyway.
So farewell QCoreApplication.notify ...
* Fixed python test for QtUiTools module
* Fixed UiTools test on Qt4 - QUiLoader needs an application object

* Fixed a segfault with simple 'klayout -v'
* is_halfmanhattan polygon predicate, confine polygon splitting to halfmanhattan
Splitting any-angle polygons for area reduction in the
deep processor creates a risk of introducing grid-snap
artefacts. Hence we avoid this.
* WIP: first part of fix - generation of hole cutlines
First problem was that hole cutlines got extended
over the whole length and sometimes lead to coincident
edges which are difficult to resolve for the polygon
cutter.
* Refined solution, fixed#718
- disabled elaborate hole insertion procedure for now as the
performance impact has to be assessed yet and the new scheme
will break many tests
- stricter rejection of ambiguous configurations in the polygon cutter
- fallback is boolean AND now since there is no need to re-invoke the
polygon cutter (we can't do so as we made it more strict).
Performance-wise we replace a merge by an AND step which may even be
faster the output is smaller and the polygon cutter does not need
to be re-invoked.
* Compatibility with other STLs
Main issue: universal DRC scheme and rectangle filtering/opposite filtering/shielding.
The space function required some enhancements to accomodate symmetric interactions.
Now there are symmetric edge pairs. Space initially runs twofold (primary to foreign)
but produces symmetric edge pairs. These are filtered later unless converted before.
