Calling on all developers to check the 0.21 Release notes...

Post by Roy_043 »

In the past week I have come across several new features that are not mentioned in the V0.21 Release notes. I therefore ask all developers to please make sure that their PRs are documented.

Thanks.

I'll give some examples:

Std_Placement:
Significant changes to the dialog.

Interface_Customization#Keyboard:
Significant changes to the tab.

Std toolbars:
PR7571 was mentioned, but PR7620 that reverted some of the changes was not (fixed now).

Path WB:
Apparently at least one experimental tool is no longer experimental.

And these are all examples that I stumbled upon by accident.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I checked only PR that I authored. ;)

I have made some more changes to Navigation cube but unfortunately my wiki account refuses to be activated because of a mail problem in the wiki so I haven't been able to update the documentation.

Those 2 tools are missing from the release notes (and don't have wiki pages):

For the Assemly4 workbench, there have been some improvements and additions, but the main one is the switch to a new assembly structure as discussed for the future of FreeCAD :

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/9278

Assembly4 should now be forward compatible with whatever comes as default assembly someday. Care was given to remain also backward compatible with existing previous assemblies.
try the Assembly4 workbench for FreCAD — tutorials here and here

Done with the wiki pages, but please clean up navigation to make.it consistent with the rest of the wiki. Also please fix on the term. So far, I'm seeimg "create bspline by interp", " create bspline by knots" and "interpolate bspline".

For the release notes could someone create a gif that can be embedded next to the text?
My latest (or last) project: B-spline Construction Project.

@Jolbas I have updated the Navigation_Cube page, and also the item on the Release_notes_0.21 page. If you have the time, please check. Thanks.
