FreeCAD News

Dur­ing this past week work con­tin­ued on get­ting FreeCAD ready for Qt6, plus some bug fix­es to Open­SCAD file import, UI tweaks to the Work­bench­es pref­er­ences page, and the File and Clip­board tool­bars were split to improve cus­tomiza­tion. In the upcom­ing week:

• From @sliptonic: “Topon­am­ing is mov­ing for­ward. First four units of work (cards) have been cre­at­ed. Remem­ber, this isn’t an Ond­sel project. It’s a FreeCAD project. We’ll be look­ing for help on each of these, includ­ing unit test code. Please get involved.”
• @wandererfan is chas­ing Tech­Draw bugs that appear in some ver­sions but not others.
• I (@chennes) am bug hunt­ing in the Addon Man­ager’s macro instal­la­tion code, and con­tin­u­ing the refac­tor­ing work for bet­ter testability.
