There have been a number of exciting changes to FreeCAD in the past week, most notably the merge of a new notification system from Sketcher developer @abdullah. It’s still a work-in-progress, so expect to see significant refinement of this feature in the coming weeks. The FreeCAD Project Association also released its first Annual Report , so big kudos to the team that worked on that document (especially @wandererfan and @yorik), and to the whole FPA for an amazing inaugural year.
In this upcoming week:
@wandererfan expects phase 1 of the dimension reference error detection and correction to get merged this week.
@wmayer is working on eliminating the Image workbench and integrating image import into the core of FreeCAD.
@jnxd is shepherding another PR in the Topological Naming Problem (TNP) series into merge readiness.
I (@chennes) merged a fix for a bug in the Addon Manager that prevented Addon installation after running Update All, and am working on prepping the remaining first-phase TNP pull request, completing the first set of code merges that set the stage for implementing the actual TNP mitigation algorithms.
PR stats: In the week from Tuesday, 14 Feb to Tuesday, 21 Mar there were 58 pull requests merged, with a total codebase change of +9,759 / ‑6,030 lines (not counting translation changes). That’s an average merged PR size of +168 / ‑104.
