Release discussion 0.15

[shoogen]

I think we have to talk about issue #1852
I assume that you will not rename the python exceptions in the foreseeable future.

IMHO issue #1926 an OCCT bug , unfixable from FreeCAD perspective.

Not for the release.This can be done later at any time.

I don't think we should care too much about these issues... After all, all projects make releases with some bugs unfixed... And AFAICS none is really critical in the sense that it prevents you from using FreeCAD. We could maybe make a list of the most annoying ones and notify about them in the release notes

[wmayer]

But the severity should be adjusted then. 1676 and 1776 can be downgraded to 'major'. 1647 should be rechecked. 1831 can stay but this isn't something that can be fixed any time soon.

Is this just a branding issue? Like the base execption should be called "FancyCAD.Base.AppError" instead of "FancyCAD.Base.FreeCADError"

[jreinhardt]

So, what do you think about a feature freeze for end of January? Then after a test phase of a few weeks we can do the final release in end of February.

So it would make sense to brush up the translations now, wouldn't it. If I read the crowdin logs correctly, yorik has uploaded strings already two weeks ago.

The Finns and Braziliens are already done. But then there are quite a few languages in the seventy and eighty percent regions that might be able to fully catch up, I will list them here for publicity:

Chinese Traditional: 77%
Czech: 70%
English: 81% (I don't understand that one)
French: 91%
German: 81%
Italian: 80%
Japanese: 87%
Polish: 81%
Portuguese: 79%
Romanian: 71%
Russian: 74%
Spanish: 92%

So if you speak any of these languages, get going! Translations are done on crowdin (registration required):

I'll post about this on FB and G+ too...

I got a pull request solely for the release branch.

Yorik,
I've got another trivial branch lying around. I suppose that I's possible to open a file with Draft Elements without loading the full Draft Workbench and thous not registering the GUI commands. I would suggest to integrate in the 0.15 release since it doesn't harm if DraftTools was imported before.

Code: Select all

Not sure what this is supposed to fix but when I e.g. import a dxf file while I am in PartDesign there always appear the "Draft tray" toolbar which is slightly annoying. With your change this toolbar still appears.
