No one has said this, it is only that last times, "noise" has increased too much, many people came here with "advices on how FreeCAD should change to be more appealing to new users" as first post.
Many first post are "critics about FreeCAD way of doing things", and so on.
Developers are busy and some of them are even in Brussels at a FOSDEM meeting, hoping to drink some good beer and enjoy a little.
I have made some 'general' considerations, probably too "carried away" by the tone of many discussion around.
I apologize if the post has seem too rough.
If you see what TNP is you could easily see that it affects many part of FreeCAD most of them in the "core code" that deal with how solids are created and how "Topology data" are stored and used.
If you don't know what is Topology, I have tried to explain things, here https://github.com/onekk/freecad-doc/tr ... nographies in the document names Topology... (not much fantasy ), it is taylored to scripting, but I hope it is not too difficult to read, (sorry but I'm Italian, so maybe it is not too correct in wording and phrases).
So it's integration is not so easy as many could think as the risk of "breaking something" is high so developers have to proceed with some care, plus some other considerations has been considered during the integration process, that has slowed the work, however RealThunder is collaborating with developers, as he is the main author of the TNP mitigation code, so there is no competition between FreeCAD and Realthunder branch, expecially if you consider that RT branch is ahead of more than 5000 commits in respect to FreeCAD development version. (Most of the work on RT Branch is done by RT and very few others, so it is perfectly comprehensible and RT has to be thanked for his hard work, but I doubt that many people have say a simple "thank you to him", or contributed with some money to his developing work).
The story could be more long, but I think that it will suffice for now, as I'm not a FreeCAD advocate, I'm only using FreeCAD to make things, and sometimes it end in raising some money using my FreeCAD skills (that is a good thing as I'm unemployed so every little money is very welcomed), so I'm very grateful to FreeCAD and to its developers.
Kind Regards
