We are pleased to announce release 2.2 of CGAL, the Computational 
Geometry Algorithms Library.

Major additions in this release are:
 o Support for the Borlnd compiler (5.5) on windows and the KAI compiler
   on Solaris.
 o Several optimisation algorithms (smallest enclosing annulus,
   polytope_distance, width of point sets in 3D)
 o Additions to 2d and 3d triangulations and 2d arrangements.
 o Demos showing robustnees problems and their solutions.
 o and more

The CGAL project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
easy-to-use, 
and efficient C++ software library of geometric data structures and 
algorithms. The CGAL library contains:
 o Basic geometric primitives such as points, vectors, lines, predicates
   for testing things such as relative positions of points, and operations 
   such as intersections and distance calculation.
 o A collection of standard data structures and geometric algorithms, 
   such as convex hull, (Delaunay) triangulation, planar map, polyhedron, 
   smallest enclosing sphere, and multidimensional query structures.
 o Interfaces to other packages, e.g. for visualisation, and I/O, and 
   other support facilities. 

For further information and for downloading the library and its 
documentation,  please visit the CGAL web page:
