[finally released] FreeCAD 0.19 Windows installer release candidate

[uwestoehr]

So we can release 0.19.2 right now. Can you please make a tag and all the other steps that need to be done? I can help with a Win-installer if you like.

Not yet, at least this PR must go into the 0-19 branch before: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4719 since this is also a nasty stylesheet bug.

And also PR 4720 https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4720 Then we are good to go. Can I get a confirmation that we are developing against QT 5.15.2 moving forward including .20 development releases?

[sgrogan]

Yes, this fixes the bug. I'll now build a new installer that you can test.

Did you upgrade QT yourself?

Did you upgrade QT yourself?

Yes, I just upgraded from Qt 5.15.1 to 5.15.2. I can provide the "patched" LibPack with which I built and turn211 confirmed the bug was fixed.

That's awesome, did you also upgrade the debug?

[uwestoehr]

That's awesome, did you also upgrade the debug?

Yes, the full Qt.
So should I upload my LibPack? I can also upload just the release package without the debug libraries.

We should figure a way to centralize this.
There are a few of us now maintaining the Libpack. Keeping versions straight is important.

While we are waiting for the backports, maybe we can come up with something.
I think the uncompressed binaries are too big for GitHub.

BTW: @uwestoehr, your work for FreeCAD is awesome!

I fully agree. @apeltauer, could you please make a new LibPack release with Qr 5.15.2 and the latest Gmsh 4.8.3?
And/or could you maybe allow us to contribute to your repository at GitHub? (My GitHub name is "donovaly".) Then we both can make new Libpack releases and upload the ZIP files.
The idea is hereby that we only replace files, e.g. DLLs etc. For the "real" hard work we still rely on you since I have e.g. no clue how to compile NetGen by myself.

While we are waiting for the backports, maybe we can come up with something.

I can provide another installer tomorrow.

BTW: @uwestoehr, your work for FreeCAD is awesome!

Thanks

If a new release will be made shouldn't we also look for bugfixes to be included? for example: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/4e4068e44f and https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4691
