FreeCAD News

This week in FreeCAD development:

Assem­bly: Pad­dle­Stroke fixed a hand­ful of Explod­ed View bugs, improved the off­set UI for joints, and fixed a few more bugs. Anoth­er fix to the work­bench was con­tributed by wwmayer.

FEM: for mate­r­i­al pan­els, marioalexis84 replaced the com­bo box with the mate­r­i­al tree wid­get; this is a quick solu­tion until the work­bench com­plete­ly migrates to the new mate­ri­als sys­tem some­time after the 1.0 release.

Mea­sure tools: Pad­dle­Stroke fixed anoth­er bug in the Quick Mea­sure code.

GUI: 3x380V refac­tored the code of the splash screen and the About dia­log, benj5378 fixed the ver­ti­cal cen­ter­ing of the expres­sions icon in input wid­gets, and Pad­dle­Stroke made a few cos­met­ic fix­es in the Place­ment dialog.

Among oth­er changes:

• wwmay­er and hase­cilu fixed two bugs in the core.
• paullee0 fixed two bugs with walls in BIM.
• Roy_043 fixed sev­er­al bugs in Draft.
• jbaehr reim­ple­ment­ed the fix for cor­rect ter­mi­nol­o­gy in CAM (the orig­i­nal one messed a few things up).
• wwmay­er, alfrix, FlachyJoe, and AIRCAP fixed sev­er­al bugs in Part and Part Design.

PR stats: since the pre­vi­ous report, 31 pull requests have been merged, and 16 new pull requests have been opened.

Issue stats: over­all, there are 2247 open issues in the track­er, up by 27 from last week. One issue is a v1.0 release block­er, same as last week.

While we did tag release can­di­date 3 recent­ly, we dis­cov­ered a seri­ous regres­sion in one of the builds. We will fix it and announce RC4 instead.
