The notable changes in CGM are below:

# CGM Version 14.1 (SIGMA v1.1)

This version of CGM is compatible with Cubit v14.0
(https://cubit.sandia.gov/public/14.0/Cubit-14.0-announcement.html)
only.
The API updates for Cubit v14.1 will be available in the next minor release.

## A. BUG FIXES

1. Fix a lot of warnings (over 700) appearing on Linux and OSX due to
uninitialized variables, remove unsed variables etc. for CGM-13.1 and
CGM-14.0.
2. Trap unhandled exceptions more cleanly
3. Fixed failing test cases on newer version of OSX
4. Fixes for getting shared builds (Cubit/OCC) and make distcheck
working cleanly in several configuration combinations

## B. NEW FEATURES + ENHANCEMENTS

1. Native support for building with both OpenCascade (OCC) and the
community edition (OCE). Currently configured using --with-occ.
2. A patched OCE fork on Bitbucket is managed by SIGMA team and can be
used as is: https://bitbucket.org/fathomteam/oce. Using the fork of
https://github.com/tpaviot/oce will require patching separately in
order to work semalessly with CGM.
