Sketcher got the most fixes: NewJoker increased the default width of dashed lines to improve their visibility above the grid, PaddleStroke fixed scale/rotation warnings, two issues with the Dimension tool, and two crashes with the BSpline tool, wwmayer and chennes submitted various other Sketcher fixes.
BIM: yorikvanhavre pushed 8 fixes for various issues, including an elusive bug where dragging and dropping IFC project tree items would result in an access violation error message. Overall, he fixed the remaining reported issues caused by the NativeIFC merge and three of the v1.0 blockers.
Assembly: PaddleStroke fixed errors on undoing a fixed joint creation, made it possible for the Insert Component taskbox to grow with the number of items, and fixed a typo in the Preferences dialog.
