Changelog

OpenFlipper 1.0 RC6 ( 2010/03/17 , 8742 )
- Core
  - Splitted File Plugins ( Now there are type plugins loaded first to register types and the file plugins to load data)
  - Moved loading code from OpenMesh to file plugins to support multiple data types
  - Changed handling of ObjectSelectionChanged
  - Updated internal types handling (directly initialized by core now)
  - Handle object tree integration for BaseObjects automatically (No longer necessary to call the setParent Function)
  - selectionChanged, visibilityChanged and objectPropertiesChanged are now handled internally. If One of these changes, the signals will be emitted by the core and passed to the plugins.
  - Basic implementation to copy per Object data along with copied object
  - Implemented drag and drop for files to OpenFlipper
  - Fixes for building with QT 4.6
  - Added a map to find objects in the objectTree (large speedup when handling multiple objects)

- Plugin interface changes
  - Changed PluginFunctions to return 0 object for identifier -1
  - Provide a QSettings interface to store per Plugin settings (called OpenFlipperSettings in globaloptions)
  - Core manages objectSelectionChanged, visibilityChanged and objectPropertiesChanged. (Do not emit these signals in your plugin anymore)
