One of the big design goals of the workbench is being as parametric as possible.
# Why Lattice2, not just Lattice?
Lattice2 was created at the moment when breaking changes needed to be made, but there were a few things made with Lattice. So, it was decided to keep the workbench in that time's state indefinitely as version 1.0, and start development of a new version.
The goal was to be able to have both Lattice v1 and v2 in a single FreeCAD installation. So a new repository was started, and all the files were renamed to start with 'lattice2' or otherwise differ from those of Lattice v1.

# What's changed in Lattice2
* Population tools now have 'move' mode: a placement/set of placements can be supplied to treat as origins of the objects being populated
* Experimental recompute controlling tools were added
* Most icons were redesigned to follow a concept
* Lattice workbench can now be imported from Py console all at once, like that: `import Lattice2`
