Regressions 0.19-23141 -> 0.20-24693

Post by BIM Bo »

So...

after a while - and because the BIM model for our house is trickling in, I had an updated look on it via FreeCAD.
Unfortunately, I have yet to find an aspect that 0.20-24693 does better than the last version I reviewed.
  • Some SVG icons still not to be found

    Code: Select all

    11:42:39  Cannot find icon: :/icons/Sketcher_EditSketch.svg
    11:42:39  Cannot find icon: :/icons/Sketcher_LeaveSketch.svg
    - neverending
  • Importing an IFC from Archicad works (quite well), but contrary to 0.19-23141 the 0.20-24693 is unable to make objects translucent.
    Yeah - "The X-ray doesn't work" is about as precise a bug report as it gets. As in 0.19-23141 it "just works". - worsening
I'll try the stable 0.19-24276 too, to see if that has fewer regressions.
  • Update of the AppImg via

    Code: Select all

    AppImageUpdate-x86_64.AppImage ./FreeCAD_0.19-23141-Linux-Conda_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage
    also didn't work "Fetching release information for tag "0.19_pre" from GitHub API.
    GitHub API request failed!" - did certainly work up to 0.19-23141. I guess the tag has changed.

All of the above applies for the 0.19-24276 version too.

So

Code: Select all

QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0.7 ./FreeCAD_0.19-23141-Linux-Conda_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage
is still best for me now.

Please download the appimage here and the appimage updating tool should continue to work

after the release of 0.19 we switched from travis to github-actions to create the bundles. In addition the name was changed so we can use the same name after a release. So hopefully in the future, we do not have to discontinue the updating process.
