Now the only open issues so far are:
  • When the content looks weird then some OpenGL states are messed up (like disabled GL_LIGHTING)
  • The loss of multisampling after undocking
@wmayer, awesome work. I have regressed the following on macOS, per your request:

Mantis #0002953 - Fixed!
Mantis #0002942 - Fixed!

Also, docking and undocking on macOS would reliably crash the OpenGL driver with a bad access exception. That is also fixed. Nice!

*EDIT* Save Picture... also works again.

Woohoo! Thanks Werner!

I'll try to put a PR together soon to remove the hacky warning about OpenGL on MacOS. -Ian-

With @wmayer's hard work and merge today, Travis just cranked out a very solid Qt 5 (10600) build for those interested in testing it. Any Qt 5 build that is 10600 or later will include the recent Qt 5 fixes making it very usable on macOS. In fact, the Qt 5 builds address a number of longstanding FreeCAD on macOS usability issues offering the best user experience to date.

Code: Select all

OS: Mac OS X
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.10600 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: (detached from 4d9169f)
Hash: 4d9169faf778e9716fc647fb3fcf46462b5d99a4
Python version: 2.7.13
Qt version: 5.6.2
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.1.0
Unless someone discovers a Qt 5 show stopper on macOS, we will soon deem the Qt 4 builds on macOS deprecated and abandon the secondary Qt 4 builds within the next month or so. Thanks again to @f3nix and @wmayer for pushing hard on the Qt 5 port.

The last message about this topic was before over a year.
Up to now I used Freecad and I thought it is one of the greatest tools I ever used on a Gentoo installation.
But now qtwebkit4 has been removed from the distribution and it is not possible to build it any more.
One year is a long time and I think also other distributions will remove qtwebkit in the near future.
What are now the plans in the future?

It does look like QtWebKit development (albeit outside Qt tree) was preserved for now (new maintainers):

P.S. Therefore FreeCAD modules relying on QtWebKit could i guess continue to work for now.
