I am not saying "don't do a point release", but I just wonder if we would be rushing a bit to do it yet? Are any of the bugs bad enough or are there enough bugs, to warrant a new release? If the bugs are not all that serious, perhaps we should wait another month or so and see if we get more bug fix commits first?
The majority of fixes in the point releases were critical issues so it was fine to back port them. And in the past for most releases we back ported several bug fixes after the first weeks too -- maybe this time a bit more than usually but that's still OK as long as we really fix critical or major issues only.
OK, no worries.


I wonder about this bug, issue #3943, its about auto-hiding of the solid when entering its sketch in PartDesign, if you turn that off (toggle its property) it still hides the solid but when you close sketch edit mode the solid remains hidden. As far as I know the bug has not been addressed yet.

Great, thanks for the response. I'll wait a couple of days for wmayer and yorik to respond to some of the other requests.

I just don't want to let stuff that is backported wait too long. If the integrators make the effort to backport stuff we should use it. I agree with wmayer that only important stuff should be backported (I'm sure this will mean different things to different people). I think we are providing regular developer builds for 0.19 so the other stuff can be tested there.

Python 3 issue ... git commit cd74f2e92 without this BOLTS addon does not run on FreeCAD with Python 3 and thus not on 0.18.x

Evening Gents.

May I suggest a recent PR, #2157: added try,except for OpenCamLib test on Path WB, be considered for backporting. Some users are locked out of the PathWB due to dependency issues, related to the OpenCamLib availability, hard coded into the PathWB. I believe this PR has eliminated the issue and is worthy of consideration for those interested in the Stable 0.18 release with a desire to harness the features in the PathWB without possible frustration from this problem.

Only a request, Sirs.

Thanks,
Russell

The OpenCamLib shouldn't be an issue for v0.18 because it was added to v0.19 only. So nothing to do for v0.18 unless I missed something?

@WMayer,
Nothing missed, Sir. I was of the mindset this (the OCL dependency for PathWB) was a pre-existing situation. It is not. I downloaded FreeCAD_0.18.16110_LP_11.11_PY2QT4-WinVS2013_x64_portable.7z and the PathWB is accessible without ocl.

Great awareness, Sir.

Thanks,
Russell

linux and osx should come soon. I pinned 0.18.1, that's why it wasn't updated:
