Description Alexander Nyßen CLA 2016-02-05 06:37:09 EST 
In certain situations, e.g. when moving a control-/way-point, it may be up to the connection router to add/remove further control-/way-points or to adjust the positions of other control-/way-points in response. To enable this, the Connection should 'pass' control-/way-point changes 'through' the IConnectionRouter, and use the control-/way-point produced by the router.

This way, a rectilinear router could e.g. move adjacent waypoints when manipulating a waypoint (to realize a segment move). Further, the router could implement restrictions on moving waypoints via this mechanism.
Comment 1 Alexander Nyßen CLA 2016-02-26 07:59:19 EST 
I changed the contract of IConnectionRouter as part of bug #487274, so that the Connection gets now passed in and the router can e.g. adjust the control points. Therefore, resolving as fixed in 4.0.0 M6.
