Version
0.5.0 / 2022-04-06 : complete rewrite by s-quirin (SyProLei project (Saarland University))
 * New: Code base, Requirement raised to Qt5.12+ and Python3 (FreeCAD 0.19).
 * New: Show mass of each solid.
 * New: Start window docked or floating (can be set in Parameter Editor).
 * New: Selection matches up tree view or is sorted by name (can be set in Parameter Editor).
 * New: Option to save densities in document.
 * Improved: FreeCAD alike Gui look and feel.
 * Improved: Scaled color palette (from green to red) to colorify shapes.
 * Improved: Visualising the displacement of centre of mass to the geometry.
 * Improved: Internal tracking of units.
 * Fix: Handling of groups and group objects.
 * Fix: Handling of App::Link.
 * Fix: Replaced deprecated Qt class.

0.4.2 / 2019-06-09 :
 * Check last version number on github and popup if not last version.
 * Automatic update of show CdG (if it exists) when densities are changed.
