This week in FreeCAD development:
@obelisk79 is spearheading the formation of a UI/UX working group – more details coming soon! If you are interested in participating, consider joining the FreeCAD Discord and checking out the #ui-ux-themes channel.
@yorik is preparing the help module to become builtin
@kadet is working on the implementation of preferences navigation redesign (https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/10886 ), and then probably going back to thin walls support (https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/10538 )
@paddle is working on sketcher tool settings initial implementation + offset : https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/10892 And assembly wb : https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/10764
@andrecaldas is developing “thread safe containers”: https://github.com/andre-caldas/FreeCAD … /README.md
@DavesRocketShop is making progress on material arrays. 2D and 3D arrays can be edited, saved, and restored. Still some UI issues to fix before it is considered complete.
I (@chennes) put the finishing touches on the next Toponaming PR (related to storing binary data in our XML files), and am now moving on to actually calculating and storing names for the TopoShape class.
PR stats: In the week from Wednesday, 27 Sept to Wednesday, 4 Oct there were 43 pull requests merged, with a total codebase change of +12,993 / ‑4,451 lines. Not counting translation updates we had an average merged PR size of +302 / ‑104.
