In the toponaming project, bgbsww added more tests and updated existing ones, and CalligaroV fixed two bugs.
In Arch, yorikvanhavre upgraded the reference tool, so that it could work with DXF and IFC files (NativeIFC is required for the latter), and paullee0 fixed a regression that occured when making a block from a DraftWire.
In Sketcher, PaddleStroke changed the rendering of points’ colors (after a discussion with the design working group) and fixed a bug in the Translate tool (horizontal and vertical constraints disappeared after translating).
In TechDraw, WandererFan implemented the so-called broken view - a way to render very large objects on a page by cutting a segment from the middle and juxtaposing them. He also fixed a problem with template autofilling where the total number of sheets in a document would always be equal to 1.
In FEM, FlachyJoe implemented a way to suppress the constraints: a suppressed constraint is no more written in the solver’s input file and thus not taken into account for analysis. Meanwhile lyphrowny migrated calculix tests to ccxtools tests and attempted to resolve two issues by implementing float comparison for FEM tests.
Thanks to davesrocketshop, FreeCAD now uses the new material system for body appearance. A new widget is now available to allow the user to select materials in a consistent fashion. It can also launch the material editor with its more advanced capabilities. Quickly after that, wwmayer fixed some of the regressions that were introduced with this patch.
Several more general fixes were contributed by mosfet80.
