0.19.1 Tag?

[Kunda1]

1) text for https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.19

my proposal:

Code: Select all

This is the official 0.18.1 release of FreeCAD.

This release is also the first one with official binaries for the FreeCAD 0.19 release series.

FreeCAD 0.19 brings a huge set of improvements, please have a look at its release notes to find out what:
https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Release_notes_0.19

FreeCAD.0_19_1.Offline.Doc.7z is compressed version of the FreeCAD offline documentation.
FreeCAD.0_19_1.Quick.Reference.Guide.7z is a compressed version of the FreeCAD Quick Reference Guide
Unzip them with a 7zip utility.

Thanks, though the real 0.19 is 0.19.1 so we should reference that as well, right ?

Regarding the qt Assistent: did this work in the past (0.19 pre builds)?

Why do we ship it? Is this used for the "What's this" feature? If yes, then it worked on Windows also for the 0.19 pre builds.

Yes, we use it for the What's this and reading the documentation through the Help menu. Note: IIRC there is/(was?) an upstream issue regarding Qt Assistant that malfunctioned in a certain way (and was OS specific?). Need to dig to find it.

Edit: issue #3960 regarding the AppImage
links to:

I tested the help functionality of the appimage and it doesn't work for me. There is no help-panel appearing but also no error reported, so difficult to see what's wrong.

Also for the osx bundle the assistant is still can't be started although manually included in the dmg.

So should we exclude the help files?

Yep, so the 0.19.1 build and installer needs the same renaming of ssl.py to ssl-orig.py and the corrected ssl.py copying over which contains (amongst other changes)

Code: Select all

# Workaround see https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=47095

at line 92 to help distinguish between them as is the case with the Conda builds.

I am now confused because with the Windows installer and the LibPack builds everything works fine. Only the Conda builds are affected.

So to understand, when you installed FC using the FC 0.19.1 Windows installer, you cannot use "What's this"? If so, please test if it works with the Part WB toolbar icons, since there is a bug in FC that "What's this" fails for the Std WB.

My reply was regarding the fault @mpetrasinovic reported with AddonManager, absolutely nothing to do with What's This or Toolbars.

I pinged @sgrogan because he added a line towards the end of the Conda Builds batch file several months ago to replace the standard ssl.py file with my modified one and so I thought if there's an existing batch file used with the release 0.19.1 it could be added there also.

The whole root cause is due to Serbia Republic Certificates cause a fault and need to be ignored. This has to be done early in the FreeCAD loading stage way before the user clicks on AddonManager.

Sorry for the confusion.

I will add the patch for ssl.py to the Libpack and rebuild the installer.

Can you please also inform @apeltauer that he includes this in the LibPack?
