In the toponaming project, bgbsww and chennes are getting really close to finalizing the port of RealThunder’s patches to upstream FreeCAD. There is probably a week more of work, then the planned performance evaluation and improvements can begin.
TechDraw:
WandererFan fixed several issues, such as broken zigzag lines orientation with rotated 3D view, as well as incorrect dimensions in the new Broken View feature.
wwmayer fixed hatch clipping in SVG exporting code.
dplanella organized TechDraw template translations into locale folders so that they wouldn’t mix up with original English templates.
Arch:
Roy-043 fixed several issues with Arch_Panel, Arch_Structure, and Arch_Wall.
marcuspollio updated the tooltip of ArchSpace Text to mention recently implemented $longname and $description support.
There are three more notable changes that are user-visible:
pskowronskiTDx contributed code to better support 3Dconnexion devices such as SpaceMouse on Windows using Navlib.
PaddleStroke updated the Trim tool in Sketcher to support continuous mode. Now you can select the tool, press and hold the mouse button and then drag the pointer over segments you want to delete. The tool will delete all segments you hover.
davesrocketshop implemented support for older FCMat files in the new materials system (and wwmayer fixed some issue in that system).
Additional fixes, new tests, and minor improvements came from wwmayer, luzpaz, cjmayo, bgbsww, oursland, and Roy-043.
