FreeCAD News

It was a rel­a­tive­ly qui­et week for FreeCAD devel­op­ers, with only 32 merged pull requests, most­ly relat­ed to small trans­la­tion prob­lems and minor bug­fix­es (though one of the fixed bugs pre­vent­ed Win­dows builds from start­ing if the splash­screen was dis­abled, so I’m sure there are going to be some hap­py Win­dows users out there!). We also final­ly removed the Ray­trac­ing work­bench from the repos­i­to­ry: it has long since been super­seded by the Ren­der addon and had not been main­tained for many years.

In this upcom­ing week:

• @wandererfan is inves­ti­gat­ing place­ment anom­alies with Link sources, and the replace­ment of BaseGe­om (with @benj5378).
• I (@chennes) am work­ing on stream­lin­ing the trans­la­tion update process, and clean­ing up what­ev­er bugs our trans­la­tors throw at me this week.

PR stats: In the week from Tues­day, 25 Apr to Tues­day, 2 May there were 32 pull requests merged, with a total code­base change of +1,003 / ‑31,619 lines (not count­ing trans­la­tion changes, but count­ing the removal of Ray­trac­ing). That’s an aver­age merged PR size of +31 / ‑1019. Yeah, the removal of an entire 30k-line work­bench might throw those stats off this week…
