In a sense, FreeCAD has its own rythm, and we try to make sure everything that needs to be done is done before releasing.Īlso, but this is more my personal opinion, working on an open-source project is awesomely cool. As the project grows too, there are more and more developers involved, and more and more features weren't touched at all by one of the core developers, and it takes time to have everybody focus on fixing bugs. It is very important to all of us to be able to release when we think it has reached the correct level of quality. This can be interpreted in many ways, you might think "lazy developers don't want to work hard enough!" but it is not that. There is unfortunately no answer to this yet, as some of you know, a motto we have at FreeCAD, that we really like a lot :) is: "It's done when it's done". I can hear the question rushing from your hearts: When? Thanks a million for that.īasically FreeCAD development has now entered "feature freeze" mode, in preparation to the upcoming 0.17 release. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank you all who contributed to my Patreon campaign (or Librepay) this year, it has triggered some big changes for me, which took (and are still taking) more time than I thought, you don't turn into a part-time programmer overnight, but it is a really cool process, and, truth be told, during last year's dire economical crisis in Brazil, this FreeCAD "job" I now have thanks to you guys helped me a lot to keep the boat afloat. But I'll give you some more news before the January report. And since not much more will be happening this year, given the coming new year events (a good friend of mine calls this The Great Intoxication) I'll exceptionally make one report for two months, if you don't mind. First off, sorry for the delay, I was trying to finish the new Render workbench (see below) before posting this report, because otherwise there is not much exciting stuff this month, and it ended up taking more time than I thought, because I kept experimenting a lot until arriving to a good solution.
