![]() Renderer, new beta and final releases of Siril, HDRView, MFEKglif, QGIS, majorĬmykStudent is proposing to start working on real non-destructive editing in If we find that FreeCADLink isn't too bad then maybe just change the target commits to FreeCADLink if they apply.Week highlights: DreamWorks Animation releases source code of MoonRay I don't know how hard it is to modify the forum layout, maybe someone will comment. This way we can all download the same release for testing and realthunder can update the new release section as necessary. I think this is what would need to occur:ġ) Add a specific section to the forum with sub topics.Ģ) Have some kind of standard release page and a new release section. I can't learn anything from a post like that. Right now on the forum if I go into "Assembly" and find "Assembly 3 preview" there is 1764 replies, all inline. Even if we only keep it in the main section for a few months, I think this would answer the question. A new major heading in the forum "FreeCADLink (Experimental)", and a few sub sections for help and requests could solve this unknown. The forum is where we get feedback but there is no place to give that feedback currently. FreeCADLink is an unknown item and needs to be tested. ![]() I think this is actually my target for this post, even though I didn't have a total plan. Yorik, What's sorely missing here is people willing to help to review and thoroughly test Realthunder's pull requests. We really should value that a lot, and try our best to remove weight from his shoulders This is a blessing for FreeCAD, it is the strongest thing that permits FreeCAD to evolve well. Everybody just keeps asking "why hasn't it been done already" and nobody really does anything to help (sorry for the rant )Īlso as a note, Werner's assessment of the FreeCAD code is uttermost precious to the project, as he single-handedly basically maintains the clean structure and stability of FreeCAD. What's sorely missing here is people willing to help to review and thoroughly test Realthunder's pull requests. But this is a really huge amount of work because most of Realthunder's changes touch dozens of files scattered all over FreeCAD, it affects a lot of hidden things, and they are often very complex for who is not an experienced coder. So far I don't think there has ever been something he did that was rejected. We all value Realthunder's work a lot and if you look at the commit history you'll see a lot of efforts from everybody (above all Werner) to integrate everything he does. I personally like assembly4, because I think it will do better on large projects, I don't know how that plays out. Is there room on this forum for a 1st and 2nd generation? Can we use asm3 and still use other assembly programs. I presume at some point if realthunder gets so far ahead of Std-FreeCAD that the forum will fracture and his new powerful branch will percolate to the top, maybe somewhere else. No disrespect to developers, I'm sure your working hard. Standard FreeCAD doesn't seem to be moving much, at least in big improvements. I'm new to this code sharing thing so I though that the process would be the most powerful code always prevails or someone just branches it and makes it more powerful on their own. I can see how the main members don't want to incorporate something and have the programmer disappear, he seems pretty committed. I feel he deserves this, he has been working on improving FreeCAD for a few years, and he has done just that. If I had his skills I would have done the same thing. I say that because I presume realthunder went off on his own so he could code stuff the way he wants. ![]() I would like to see something placed at the top level, right under the Help section "FreeCADLink" and then a couple sub groups "Real problems" and "All other". Isn't there some way we can recognize realthunders work and get it on the forum in a major way so we can see how it compares to Std-FreeCAD. I have been here (on the forum) for a couple years and haven't used asm3 mostly because it was moving so fast that I didn't trust it on designs, but it appears that maybe that's changed and it has settled down. To start with could we agree that assembl圓 (asm3) has taken FreeCAD to another level, it appears there are big improvements in file structure, topological error handling, linkstage, multi-object bodies, tree options, and I'm sure more that I haven't seen yet? I was kind of hoping we could find some middle ground here on the forum. I know there are some strong opinions about realthunders fork of FreeCAD but that's not my target, but it is open discussion after all.
