update cover

This week in FreeCAD development:

  • @PaddleStroke is working on an assembly constraining system. He posted a draft PR to share advancement if anyone wants to follow along: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/10611 .

  • @yorik is working on NativeIFC, trying to make the FreeCAD document a 1:1 alter ego of an IFC document.

  • @kaktus is continuing to clean up Crowdin: This time strings from FreeCAD’s home page are under the microscope. The subject of the research is unnecessary end-of-line characters in strings to be translated.

  • @wandererfan is wrapping up Part Scale implementation, working on Google Summer of Code UMF testing, and working on the cosmetic circle command.

  • I (@chennes) am starting in on the next phase of the Topological Naming Problem mitigation project .

PR stats: In the week from Wednesday, 6 Sept to Wednesday, 13 Sept there were 55 pull requests merged, with a total codebase change of +44,100 / ‑33,089 lines (not counting translation changes). That’s an average merged PR size of +817 / ‑613 (this is a little misleading because several of these PRs were large-scale code reformatting actions, not actual code changes). We closed 16 Issues, and 26 new Issues were opened.
