Re: Release of 0.18
Making a release this year would be great! In the regard of FEM, did we not had big changes in 0.18 means we are save here. ATM I'm giving VTK post processing some love and try to fix some lon known issues. This will take some weeks but the release will need some time too.
If I watch commit history release 0.18 is on the way allready. Werner is fixing bugs all the time he has push so many commits lately

Re: Release of 0.18
That is a critical issue. Maybe a call to add-on workbenches and macros authors needs to be made to incite them to update their work to make it Py3 compatible; be it from contacting them through the forum, or registering issues on their GitHub repositories.

Updating the section about the Sketcher is easy... Just go through abdullah's posts!sgrogan wrote: ↑Thu Aug 16, 2018 9:49 pm And we need our hero's to update the wiki and translations. Maybe we could start here: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Release_notes_0.18

I just quickly added text (maybe I've forgotten stuff), but we'll need to add screenshots as they best convey what's discussed. I had trouble describing what the "View section" tool actually does... If native English speakers want to pitch in, they're most welcome.
I also thought it would be nice to add the relevant forum topics, while it's a way to give a "secret" nod to the contributors, it may also show readers that development is not done in a vacuum, and get them interested in participating to these development discussions... What do you guys think?
P.S. It's not the first time you describe wiki contributors and translators as "heroes", just don't sell yourself short - you are true to this label as well (and a bunch of other people too).

Re: Release of 0.18
A more efficient method is to check the history of a module folder on Github and look at the commits. Browse to the module folder, for example https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/tree ... d/Sketcher then click on the "History" button.
I found a bunch more Sketcher improvements that way.
Re: Release of 0.18
Correct, for the authors that haven't checked in, the community is going to have to test and post on their github page.
Unfortunately, we still have work to do for this on linux for ease of testing. The AppImage on the releases page is old and doesn't have the version info. The AppImage is built from looo's conda work. I believe looo has solved the version info problem, we need to check if this works with AppImage, then work on providing regular updates (weekly is the goal for now)
Windows is working pretty good. I don't think the OSX group has started PY3 yet, but they have full QT5 support.
Great work on the Release notes. I like the idea of the forum links. "If you want to influence FreeCAD development, get involved, you don't need to be a programmer, and more and more you don't have to compile yourself!"
I very much like this post from abdullah https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 90#p230661

Re: Release of 0.18
I think it would be great to get in sync with release year and I would fancy to have a flow according to Debian/Ubuntu release schedules.
From my side, I would like to have this in 0.18:
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/1421
Of course, I am ready to rebase it and fix whatever conflict that got in the middle.
