I think I have already found the issue in the code. But have yet to submit a PR.

Thanks for mentioning. It seems that realthunder's fork is (now) completely separate. I did not realize that before. Or is there a similar PR for the main branch?

Hmm...what does mean and where are the details.

Up to now my understanding was that RT's fork would one day be completely merged with the main branch. But this PR seems to suggest that this may never happen. I do not have more details, but I do not see this PR in the main branch. I hope I am wrong, because having two competing branches of FreeCAD can't be good.

hmm...seems something of this nature should deserve a clear statement, rather than conjecture reading a PR.

Well maybe you can clarify the differences between:

https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD/ ... /Mod/Draft

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/tree ... /Mod/Draft

Things seem to be out of sync.

Code: Select all

This branch is 4127 commits ahead, 1394 commits behind FreeCAD:master. 

Last rebase appears to be several months ago. The differences are growing.

If I remember correctly, Reathunder regularly merge the master version into its version.


there is now the new version that solves the problem of this topic

The delta is continually expanding.

I see the difference in the PR as noted.

I see there is a new release of the RT fork.

I see that master is merged to the RT, apparently regularly.

But, making statements like: "It seems that realthunder's fork is (now) completely separate." has a LOT of far reaching implications for both master and the RT fork.

If, indeed, the RT fork is now going to continue to diverge (at seemingly ever increasing rate), people need some way to decide which they are going rely on. Many are already are choosing to go with an arguably more modern looking, more "neat" features, and at least the mitigation of the TNP issue in the RT fork, even though it only has one guy working on it. And leaves those using the master wondering if the apparent stasis is temporary, permanent, or other.

At this point it seems there is just speculation.
