Test FreeCAD: development branches/macros collection

Post by bleber »

I try to make a test builds tcollection of FreeCAD, for testing purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

  1. FreeCAD Development versions weekly-builds
    FreeCAD's development happens daily! Therefore we generate builds that are based on bleeding edge FreeCAD code in order for users to test bugfixes/regressions along with new features. We recommend more savvy users to run dev builds and help spur FreeCAD's progress. We also recommend backing up files before working with a dev build.
    • FreeCAD Link Branch Daily and Stable releases
      A development branch of FreeCAD featuring enhanced UI, Rendering, and more.
      • FreeCAD B-Spline Constraints

        Description
        B-splines (and Bezier curves) are a powerful tool in CAD allowing the user to make complex, arbitrarily smooth shapes with ease. There has been significant development in support for B-splines in the Sketcher workbench of FreeCAD (mainly thanks to Abdullah). However, there is room for significant improvement: point-on-curve and tangency constraints are not yet supported for B-splines, which limits their functionality in Sketcher.

      Please make a post if you know and have links to other branches, I will include the links in the first post.

      you mean other builds of master branch or actually other forks that get binary releases? AFAIK the only thing we have are snap builds from some PRs but those are only temporary so not worth putting in a list IMO. If you just mean other builds of master branch FreeCAD, there's a lot of packagers for different distros.

      My intention i s a general list, for people who like to test some PRs that are disperse on the forum threads. And generally spoken things that need to be tested.

      There are around some personal FC version around, mostly to test some PR or to integrate sone WB.

      But with improvement of Addon Manager most of these branch are quite old, and outdated.

      There are the Toponaming Test Branch, but probably only (for now) as snap package, for what I know.

      It is difficult to track these versions as they are not very advertised, and usually are build by a single developer and published on his GitHub page, and usually build for single OS so your mileage may vary as probably they depends also on what build environment has been used.

      AppImages, Snap or Flatpack packages are more "distribution agnostic" and will be more welcomed, but are not trivial to make as maintainers know.

      They are (will be) all probably PRs of https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-snap.

      List of experimental snaps being built (not all are associated with PRs but with branches of devs who've cloned upstream FreeCAD)
