This week in FreeCAD development:

Part and Part­De­sign:

• mwgan­son fixed a bug where you wouldn’t be able to run Check­Ge­om­e­try on an X‑axis object when the “Too small edge” option is enabled, after expand­ing ori­gin object in Part Design.

Mea­sure: hlorus fixed 3 bugs includ­ing one release block­er where mea­sure­ments wouldn’t dis­ap­pear when reset was used in the task panel.

Assem­bly: Pad­dle­Stroke fixed a lag that would occur when drag­ging parts in an assem­bly with a lot of fixed parts.

FEM: marioalexis84 fixed anoth­er issue where flick­er­ing would occur between faces and wire­frame in FEM mesh view, it was more notice­able on curved sur­faces and using flat col­or for the wireframe.

Tech­Draw: Wan­der­erFan fixed 7 minor issues (1 of them not report­ed to the tracker).

CAM: shaise dropped the pre­vi­ous code for Screen Space Ambi­ent Occlu­sion shaders in favor of one that is under the MIT license for license compatibility’s sake.

GUI: Syres916 added a workaround for Qt6 and its OpenGL widget’s mis­be­hav­ior, and hyari­on con­tributed a fix towards elim­i­nat­ing anoth­er block­er where the appli­ca­tion would crash on macOS.
