Refactoring of Geometry API
Geometry API was refactored to guarantee consistency between integer-precision and double-precision version of Point/PrecisionPoint, Dimension/PrecisionDimension, and Rectangle/PrecisionRectangle. Synchronization between the still exposed integer-precision fields (x, y, width, height) and the no-longer exposed double-precision fields (preciseX, preciseY, preciseWidth, preciseHeight) is performed automatically by precision classes now, so clients may use the precision versions transparently, being no longer forced to perform a manual update of the respective fields. See 124904, 142628, and 271235 for details.

MarqueeSelectionTool
MarqueeSelectionTool was enhanced to now offer the following default marquee behaviors:
- BEHAVIOR_CONNECTIONS_TOUCHED (supported since 3.1)
- BEHAVIOR_CONNECTIONS_CONTAINED
- BEHAVIOR_NODES_TOUCHED
- BEHAVIOR_NODES_CONTAINED (supported since 3.1, default behavior)
- BEHAVIOR_NODES_TOUCHED_AND_RELATED_CONNECTIONS
- BEHAVIOR_NODES_CONTAINED_AND_RELATED_CONNECTIONS (supported since 3.1, formerly known as BEHAVIOR_NODES_AND_CONNECTIONS, which was in turn deprecated).
It was furthermore refactored to allow clients to customize marquee selection behavior via subclassing and overwriting one or more of the following methods:
- performMarqueeSelect()
- calculateMarqueeSelectedEditParts()
- isMarqueeSelectable(EditPart)
The following methods are now also exposed (protected visibility) so clients can use access the current tool mode and the selection rectangle in their customization code:
- getCurrentMarqueeSelectionRectangle()
- getCurrentSelectionMode()
See 67991 for details.
MatchSizeAction
Similar to MatchWidthAction and MatchHeightAction, a concrete MatchSizeAction 
was now made available (see 107916).
