- new button under the graphic window to temporarily disable mouse
  selection (speeds-up redrawing of very large models + permits to
  rotate/zoom-in a model in selection mode even when the whole screen
  is full of selectable entities--e.g. a surface mesh)

- new "lasso" selection mode (to select entities using the same kind
  of lasso as the lasso zoom: just Ctrl+click, then drag the mouse in
  selection mode; the shortcuts are the same as for the lasso zoom)

- it is now possible to unselect entities using the middle mouse button
  (only for the creation of physicals at the moment; not sure if it's
  useful in the other cases)

- new button in visibility browser to invert the current selection
  (very useful e.g. when multiple physical entities are associated
  with a given elementary entity, in order to "peel" away the model
  when adding new physicals; cf. philou)

- changed meaning of Escape shortcut (cancel lasso or toggle mouse
  selection) + restore standard fltk Escape handling for all dialog
  windows

- updated copyright string

- new mesh label mode (coordinates); all label types are now also
  available for mesh vertices

- added option in 'Print Option' dialog to disable printing of help
  strings

- added a comment string with the date when creating a new file

- new snapping grid for adding points in the GUI

add error check for discrete curves

copyright update

bulletproof FindCurve/Surface + uniformize error messages

- added small routine to orient all the surfaces in a Surface Loop
  consistently

- fixed orientation of lines/surfaces in holes, *IF* we suppose that
  holes are defined consistently with exterior boundaries (warning:
  there is currently *NO* check for this in the code)

rewrote the contour extraction routines from scratch: one can now
select the entities in arbitrary order, and undo all the steps
interactively.

And more airplane work!

- merged STL patch from Nicolas Tardieu. This patch permits to
  create an real elementary surface for each STL face. Until
  we have some code to directly remesh the STL data (which would
  be much nicer and cheaper), this is very useful. We can finally
  use STL representations to create meshable volume models.
  Thanks Nicolas !

- new option to color the mesh by physical entities (if an element
  belongs to multiple physicals, we use the first one)

- additional cleanup of the mesh drawing code

- big cleanup of the geometry creation section in the parser:

  * removed horrible Geo/DataBase.cpp
  * fixed all List-related memory leaks (a lot!)
  * added tests to check if we don't try to recreate existing
    entities (this should prevent many weird bugs due to incorrect
    input files)

- fixed LineLoop/EdgeLoop memory leaks

- many small fixes all over the place
