Release of 0.18

[yorik]

One thing that would be cool, is to always add the file used to generate the splashes to the examples folder… Provided we have the author’s permission of course

just to add some tips, attached the LO License reference
They added

…
Anyway I would keep the three main contributors in front of the others like:

This datum feature seems to be pretty useful.

Thanx

P.S. I noticed if you are in another workbench and use the Start workbench to create a new document. Or to open an existing file from the Recent files list. After such action Start workbench always gets activated.

Fixed in 1a7d3d9a3

Can confirm and thanks.

Funny, but that won’t happen anytime soon as long as there is no clear “Making PRs for dummies” step-by-step summary. The topic about it is too damn long and confusing for someone who still struggles with Git like me.

OK:

• On GitHub browse to the file you would like to Edit.
• Press on the Edit button (creates a Fork and a branch automatically).
• Edit.
• Press on PR button.
• Congratulations, you have just become a FreeCAD developer and a FreeCAD source code contributor.

Yea, NormandC, let me know how I can help you with this stuff. I created Developing_FreeCAD_with_GitKraken because working with git makes most sense to me using a GUI.

This relates to FreeCAD_0.18.15609_Conda_Py3QT5-WinVS2015_x64 build

When I run the unit tests once all the tests pass, when I run it the second time I get this error

Hi all,
For information, the part-design example in 0.18 in in the 0.16 way of designing, so opening it can lead to misunderstanding for beginners as there is no body and part.
attached the updated version (lighter by the way).

I just noticed that Meshes → Unwrap Mesh and Unwrap Face are not available in Crowdin for translation…

Yorik, no success in making the FEM menus appear I gather?

On GitHub browse to the file you would like to Edit.

And what if you have more than one file to edit, which was my case?

I created Developing_FreeCAD_with_GitKraken

I know, I recently marked it for translation. I also noticed that you uploaded blasted animated GIFs, and you know my opinion about this image format.
Contrary to the cute icon, I was not smiling.

In any case, GitKraken requires signing in through either GitHub or a GitKraken account - which makes it a no-go for me.

The moment I posted the above response and then linked on the page… I knew you’d give me for it

@wmayer

Thanks for 15b854b2a!

After setting my New Document Camera Orientation (in Preferences/Display) to something else than default top view, it works with the New document icon or File → New menu, but it doesn’t from the StartPage’s “Create new…” button. Maybe some file in the Start module needs to be updated as well?

Pretending to be a developer , it seems LoadNew.py simply calls a python command to create a new document:

FreeCAD.newDocument()

Would that be as simple as adding the line

Gui.activeDocument().activeView().viewDefaultOrientation()

right beneath it (which works, I tried), or would there be a more efficient method?

[yorik]

Would that be as simple as adding the line

Yes!
Waiting for your first PR now

LOL wmayer robbed me of my glory (j/k)

Nonetheless happy to see I had guessed right!

[Mark_Szlazak]

What is the estimated date for the official release of 0.18?
Will it be April 2019 like when it was April 2018 for 0.17?

[Kunda1]

LOL wmayer robbed me of my glory (j/k)

That was sooooo very anticlimactic!

[yorik]

What is the estimated date for the official release of 0.18?

I guess we could do a little list of the remaining issues?

From my side there is only a couple of issues on the start page to solve…

Thank you.

Soon, I’ll be uploading a 0.18~pre1 package to Debian just to get the waiting period in NEW started.
