Release discussion 0.15

[ulrich1a]

There's already a Releases-0.15 branch. But I'm wondering why also create a tag?

I did rely on this information in the FreeCAD-wiki: http://freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?ti ... nix#Github

Code: Select all

There is an always up to date FreeCAD repository on Github: github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD_sf_master

Here I get a more or less linear repository with one branch where you can only guess, which commit belongs to what release of FreeCAD.

The wine-project for example maintains a linear repository, where you can find tags for the biweekly releases. I find this very helpful. It is much easier to find start-points for a regression analysis.

RCs for 64 bit Windows and OS X are available now. I'll have a 32-bit windows installer up tomorrow. Please test thoroughly!

FreeCAD-0.15.4666_x64_RC1_setup.exe
FreeCAD-0.15.4666_x64_osx_RC1.zip

On Windows C:\Program Files\FreeCAD 0.15\bin\pysideuic is empty which causes BOLTS to not work. Copying the files from the LIBPACK fixes it.

Thanks for catching that, sgrogan. I forgot to check it after I added it to the copy list in the auto build script.

Hey bernd, can you try the 64-bit RC2 build and see if CalculiX works? I only added ccx.exe because Dependency Walker didn't show any other dependent DLLs.

Edit: ccx.exe depends on pthreadGC2.dll -- I reuploaded the RC2 builds.

[wmayer]

Is your ccx built with a different compiler? The one I have was taken from one of jriegel's libpacks and this was built on cygwin. Thus the dependencies are:
* cygarpack-0.dll
* cyggfortran-3.dll
* cyggcc_s-1.dll
* cygwin1.dll
* cygblas-0.dll
* cyglapack-0.dll

I will on Monday morning. I only have Linux and WinXP in an VM at home.

Exact the same here for me for the ccx.exe from jriegels FreeCAD 0.14 see post viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7717&start=150#p82745

I copied ccx.exe from FreeCADLibs_8.2_x86_VC9. After bernd told me the dlls he had to copy, I looked for them but they are not in the 8.2 libpack, so it must be a different ccx.

Peter could you do me a favour ?
When looking at the Sourceforge files-Page there is just beneath the FreeCAD 0.7-directory a file
called "FreeCAD_0.13.2097_x86_RC_setup.msi".
Could you move that to the "FreeCAD 0.13 unstable"-directory where it belongs (at least I think so ...)

Another thing would be that under the directory list it reads:
"This is the official repository of installers of FreeCAD for the Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. More information at http://www.freecadweb.org"

Nope - Only Windows files.
Linux via repository or ppa, mac via macport (?)

Maybe the text should read
"This is the official repository of installers of FreeCAD for the Windows platforms. For information on the
versions for Linux and mac platforms visit http://www.freecadweb.org"

Oh, and can you set the directory sort order to "Name" and not "modified" ?
It will look a little bit strange if the 0.13 development-directory would be the first one on the list ...

Thanks.

The one you use is the same version of CalculiX like in FreeCAD 0.14 (It is 2.6.1) but it is not a Cygwin build it is a real Windows built which was made by bConvergent.

CalculiX gets called but with this version I have problems reading the result file. This was described by other users in
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=10144#p82768 A commit should be in 0.16 allready. I never had this problem. Further investigation are needed.

Could'nt you take the Cygwin build from FreeCAD 0.14 ? With this binary the result file is read.

EDIT:
The result files differ from each other. The one from the windows build has a space missing (in point of FreeCAD 0.15RC view) It seams this is makes FreeCAD to hang. Try to fix this asap.

I can confirm that the RC2 install is not able to read calculix result files on
