## [v17.06]( https://github.com/sofa-framework/sofa/tree/v17.06 )

[Full log]( https://github.com/sofa-framework/sofa/compare/v16.12...v17.06 )


### New features

**For users**
- [SceneCreator]
    - new methods to add basic 3D object: Cube, Cylinder, Sphere and Plane. In rigid or deformable.
- [GeneralTopology]
    - SphereGridTopology component to create sphere grids, similar to CylinderGridTopology.
- Adds a new orientedBox dataField in BoxROI so that we can use it to either defined AABoxes or OrientedBox
- Minor improvement on the way warning/error message are presented to the users in runSofa. A single panel is now used instead of of two, it is always displayed, the Panel name also contains the number of message eg: "Messages(5)"
- The Graph view is now displaying the type of message they contains.
- [runSofa]
    - Autoload plugins, described in the user-custom file 'plugin_list.conf' if present; else 'plugin_list.conf.default' containing all compiled plugins and generated automatically by CMake.

**For developpers**
- Add a Logger component that stores the history of messages into each sofa component.
- Implements new methods to write on-liner's conditional message:
     msg_info_when(level<3) << "This is a conditional info message"
- Implement an implicit version of each of the msg_* API allowing to write
     msg_info() << "Hello"  in place for msg_info(this) << Hello"
