New in 4.0.0: new C++, C, Python and Julia API; new MSH4 format; new
mesh partitioning code based on Metis 5; new 3D tetrahedralization algorithm as
default; new workflow for remeshing (compound entities as meshing constraints,
CreateGeometry for mesh reparametrization); added support for general b-splines,
fillets and chamfers with OpenCASCADE kernel; improved meshing of surfaces with
singular parametrizations (spheres, etc.); uniformized entity naming conventions
(line/curve, vertex/node, etc.); generalized handling of "all" entities in geo
file (using {:} notation); added support for creating LSDYNA mesh files; removed
old CAD creation factory (GModelFactory), old reparametrization code (G{Edge,
Face, Region}Compound) and old partitionning code (Metis 4 and Chaco); various
cleanups, bug fixes and enhancements.
