Hello,

The library names did not really change, but we added
that you can build either a CGAL dll, or a static lib.

We did that so that you can comply with the LGPL
license terms.

In case you want the static libs, you have to untick
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS in cmake-gui   Ungrouped Entries

Best regards,

andreas
