Hi developers,
we made progress!
Here is the new status:
------------------
General:
There is no known crash left:
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/milestone/2
The crash reported as
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/6200
goes away when OCC is compiled with the CMake option
BUILD_RELEASE_DISABLE_EXCEPTIONS
turned off.
------------------
Build System:
- In the past we suffered from some OCC crashes. thanks to
@chennes some are now fixes via OCC 7.6.2. Therefore we should try to release FreeCAD 0.20 using OCC 7.6.2 if possible. If no, this won't be a showstopper.
- our fellow contributor
@tanderson69 (a.k.a. blobfish) fixed further OCC bugs. Therefore, if possible one should compile OCC using his OCC 7.6.2 release:
https://gitlab.com/blobfish/occt/-/tree/V7_6_2_BF
- Conda seems to work, so we can provide builds for MacOS and Linux.
- For Windows, we now have a proper LibPack:
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-LibP ... es/tag/2.4
A big shoutout to
@wmayer and
@tanderson69 for their help.
- We now have an official Snap build:

Translations:
I don't see major open bugs. If you see something please create a new ticked and set the milestone 0.20 to check if we have a quick fix.
--------------
Roadmap:
- later today I will make a further testbuild for Windows (in this thread:
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=68705)
(There won't be a an official beta tag in Git, I just called it beta that people use it just for testing, nothing else.)
- starting next Monday there will be a final round to review translations, workbench files for the AddonManager etc.
- If necessary we wait few more days until the Snap build is ready
- we need to write a proper press text. If you have any proposals, did this in the past for other projects, etc., please comment in this thread:

Miscellaneous:
Many, many thanks to all contributors! keep up the good work and don't forget to have a look at the Wiki if it describes the sate of FC 0.20.
As always, don't hesitate with feedback.
thanks and regards
Uwe
