WIP Wednesday!

Post by chennes »

I'm going to try something new on the blog, and introduce a new feature called "WIP Wednesday" -- what I want to do is post just a sentence or two about what various devs are working on this week. So, without further ado, developers: anyone who is willing, could you post a sentence or two about what you're working on right now, or planning to do this week? It doesn't have to be Earth-shattering, anything you are working on is cool. Not everyone can be @wmayer and single-handedly implement Qt6 in a week :D

I'm working on refactoring the Addon Manager's addon list generation to make it more testable, and on fixing a recent bug that has cropped up with the 0.21 Addon Manager not installing addons on some systems.

I work on exposing the addednum and dedenum coefficients of the PD's involute gear profile. This allows to modify the tooth hight and thus use the profile for other things than full-depth systems. Most prominent example are involute splined shafts or hubs.

Chris - Just a note from an average FreeCad user. I really like this blog you have set up and the work in progress section will take it to the next level for me. I often fall behind in the forum reading and easily miss new developments / features as they become available. This blog makes it so easy to keep on top of things. I check it every day!

Many thanks,
Lewis

This proved to be a popular feature, so it will continue this week! Developers, if you are planning on doing any work on FreeCAD this week, please post here by Tuesday and let me know what you are up to.

In the Addon Manager, I'm continuing to refactor to ensure more thorough unit testing, and also to greatly speed up the tests that we have now.

I hope I can release the PR for CI by this week.
There still will be improvements to be done, but it should be in a ready state for integration.
