This week in FreeCAD development:
bgbsww, CalligaroV, and chennes made further progress towards mitigating the toponaming issue.
WandererFan fixes several bugs in TechDraw.
HowThatWorks contributed a set of ISO 7200/ISO 5457 templates for TechDraw, he also removed the non-conformant ISO7200_Pep series and the ISO7200TD series of templates.
pavltom reimplemented Leader Line parent linking in TechDraw, this allows to transfer the Leader Line to any other Part View present on the page, while keeping all its children, without the need to re-create them.
chennes updated the Addon Manager to bring back something akin to the original Addon Manager display, with the side-by-side display of the list and details views. He also fixed several build and i18n issues.
FEA-eng implemented 2D mechanical analysis methods using CalculiX: plane stress, plane strain, and axisymmetric. He also implemented isotropic and kinematic hardening as the next step towards support for advanced material models offered by CalculiX. Apart from that, he fixed Elmer FEM 2D electromagnetic examples and remove the need to include geometrical nonlinearity when nonlinear material is used in CalculiX.
marioalexis84 contributed a few fixes to FEM.
3x380V updated the Python wrapper code with Qt6 migration in mind, he also introduced the use of std::chrono for time manipulation.
wwmayer made various fixes and small enhancements, he also did some refactoring to reduce code duplication.
Roy-043 contributed small technical fixes and improvements to Draft and Sketcher.
davidgilkaufman and jffmichi fixed a few issues in Path.
djmdjm added G43 tool height compensation to centroid post-processing in Path, also fixed adaptive glitch by removing adjacent coincident and nearly-coincident points.
Rexbas implemented an opt-out option to use InOutCubic easing function in navigation animations. He also fixed setting rotation center when entering dragging in TinkerCAD style.
LemonBoy patched the UI code to make the dockbars show the same set of buttons with and without the overlay mode enabled.
FlachyJoe introduced object freezing, so that users could toggle parametric behaviour of document objects.
AjinkyaDahale improved the Join Curves command in Sketcher by making a C1 continuity at joining.
bdieterm updated the setEulerAngles API to update rotation axis vector and rotation angle when setting a Rotation object.
maxwxyz made small improvements in Sketcher and around.
jcoalson fixed a bug in Part.
mosfet80 made minor fixes in the build system.
