FreeCAD News

This week in FreeCAD development:

Sketch­er: Pad­dle­Stroke fixed two regres­sions, includ­ing one where Sym­me­try didn’t work on arcs with con­strained centers.

Assem­bly: Pad­dle­Stroke fixed 5 issues and added visu­al iso­la­tion of joint com­po­nents when cre­at­ing or edit­ing a joint.

CAM:

• tarman3 fixed three issues in the LeadI­nOut dress-up and a bug in the old CAM simulator.
• Con­nor fixed a topon­am­ing issue.

GUI:

• sliedes patched the code to request 24-bit col­or pre­ci­sion where pos­si­ble, as Qt would set­tle for RGB565 in some sce­nar­ios, so you’d see band­ing in gra­di­ents in the 3D view.
• Rexbas fixed the con­flict between the Trans­form tool and the Open­SCAD nav­i­ga­tion style.
• hyari­on added a selec­tor to the sta­tus bar’s con­text menu to tog­gle quick mea­sure and input hints.

Oth­er changes:

• Wan­der­erFan, johndoe2323, and aqeel13932 fixed sev­er­al issues in TechDraw.
• Roy_043, paullee0, and furgo16 fixed 7 issues in BIM.
• Phone­Droid added miss­ing SPDX license iden­ti­fiers to source code files.

Addi­tion­al improve­ments and fix­es were con­tributed by mar­cus­pol­lio, chennes, Syres916, pieter­hi­j­ma, mrpilot2, pyro9, ipatch, furgo16, ifo­han­croft, and PhoneDroid.

You’ll notice two new fea­tures despite the fea­ture freeze. The PRs were select­ed for inclu­sion before the cut-off. How­ev­er, the patch­es need­ed a minor tweak­ing before the main­tain­ers could merge them.

Trans­la­tions are now auto­mat­i­cal­ly synced between GitHub and Crowdin every Sunday/Monday mid­night, thanks to a CI patch by OPGL.

If you are inter­est­ed in test­ing the lat­est week­ly build, you can grab it here.
