Release discussion 0.15

[antoniovazquezblanco]

FreeCAD in Spanish is 100% translated!
Needs to be reviewed though

Thanks drei! Sorry I could not do anything yesterday. Today will also be difficult but I will see if I can review something...

Hello guys,

The OCE people have not released OCE 0.17 based on OCCT 6.8.0 yet.

I asked for it on the oce-dev list last week, and D. Barbier replied:

Our repository has been quiet for weeks, hopefully our users are happy with current codebase. I just pushed an -rc1 branch, and will make an official release in few days.

What should we do:

• Wait for the final OCE 0.17 release before releasing FreeCAD 0.15?
• Release FreeCAD 0.15 with OCE 0.17-rc1?
• Release FreeCAD 0.15 with OCE 0.16/OCCT 6.7.1?

In theory we should have tested builds based on OCCT 6.8.0 before release, but since a few of you guys have been using it already for the past few months, I figure it would not be too risky including it with FreeCAD...

I would say let's wait until mid of March and if then there is no stable release I would go for OCE 0.16.

Besides that, is there anything else we should make working for the release? What about the translation files, are they more or less up-to-date?

I've been busy translating FreeCAD into Russian. I went through all sketcher, and halfway through FreeCAD.ts. I don't feel like the Russian will be complete any time soon, don't wait for it.
The problem is, the existing Russian translation was awful (and it still is, mostly).

Yorik has to decide, what to do with the old spreadsheet-wiki-page: Just overwrite with the new content or giving it another name like spreadsheet-legacy-module? So we can start to put in some basic information for the new spreadsheet.
This is needed for the build run of the manual.

For me the translations are in a sufficient state already. We can do the release anytime now. I agree with Werner's suggestion, let's wait until mid March (I don't think oce0.17 will be out by then, but let's give it a chance). I'll merge the latest translations this weekend.

We also need to rebuild the Qt doc pack. I can do that this weekend too. It would be very good to have the wiki updated with the new spreadsheet, but if it can't I'll simply scrap out the old one.

Other than that, I think there is nothing more to be done to the source code itself. For me, just the release notes page could gain a little more content, maybe a screenshot or two, and everything will be ready.

I believe the best is to rename the old Spreadsheet page. I'll do that right now

Well, based on D. Barbier's reply, I could always give another gentle nudge

One issue we should get solved is to get running the space mouse under Windows again.
