WIP Wednesday: 9 April 2025

This week in FreeCAD development:

CAM:

TechDraw: benj5378 fixed a bug where edges would have the wrong color, and jonzirk76 contributed minor code refactoring.

Surface: Shkolik changed the behavior of the Fill Boundary Curves and Sections surface tools: after activating either of the tools, there’s no need to click on the “Add edge” button anymore, you can select edges immediately.

Addon Manager: chennes moved the code to its own repository and made it a Git submodule. According to chennes, this will ultimately provide the ability for the Addon Manager to update itself even within individual releases of FreeCAD.
