Dear all,

An initial version of the new Gmsh geometrical modeler based on OpenCASCADE is 
available on SVN and in recent nightly builds: one can now directly create 
OpenCASCADE entities in the .geo files when specifying

  SetFactory("OpenCASCADE");

It's still very much in beta, but now is the right time to start giving it a 
try and to give me feedback. 

There is no documentation yet: just explore the examples in 
https://onelab.info/svn/gmsh/trunk/demos/boolean (login and passwd: gmsh)

Some caveats with the current version:

- In order to define meshing constraints or to define physical groups you need 
first to "synchronise the model", using "SyncModel;"
- Not all existing primitives from the native Gmsh modeler have been ported yet 
to OpenCASCADE
- The GUI cannot yet be used to create the entities interactively
