We are proud to announce the release of version 1.1 of the Polygon Mesh Processing Library! This minor release includes a couple new features, enhancements, bug fixes, and updates to third-party libraries. Highlights include:

An implementation of the hole filling algorithm by Liepa [15]
An improved SurfaceSmoothing algorithm avoiding model shrinking [12]
A new compile-time switch to choose between float or double as default Scalar type
Native support for high-DPI displays on all supported operating systems and browsers

This release also includes one breaking change encapsulating some public members of the Window and TrackballViewer classes. While this change effectively modifies the public API of the library, we felt that the change is too minor to justify a bump of the major version number. See this commit for details and to check if you might be affected by it.

For this release, we also slightly changed the license terms to include an explicit disclaimer excluding all present and previous employers from any warranty and liability, see the updated license text for details. The disclaimer does not change anything about what you can do with the library. The license terms are still equivalent to those of the original MIT license.

You can find a full summary of changes in the changelog.
