Remaining "experimental" strings in: a) "place a robot" (Robot WB) and b) Calculix FEM solver (FEM WB)
it is not really experimental but we have two CalculiX solvers in FEM a well tested "Standard" CalculiX solver and the new one. The experimental is just to make new user use the Standard CalculiX solver instead the new one. The standard one has lots of tests if an analysis is set up the right way. If some one has a better word I'm happy to use it instead of experimental.

What a high quality we have can be seen from this commit. We have reached a state where we can discuss such minor things smoothing the application.
The current master is almost 2,000 commits above 0.17! Historically, this can be seen as a big release. It has seen improvement in multiple workbenches; PartDesign may be an orphan, but it did get quite a few very useful bug fixes.
Ok I just found the culprit of the different graphics issues I had: The mesa graphics driver. Switching to the nvidia proprietary driver solves all the issues (thumbs, screenshots, etc). I could have checked that earlier... In any case it's good to have Abdullah's fix because the vast majority of linux computers run on the mesa one...

Yeah, if we would use some more demanding viewport, likely most of Linux/macOS and end users using older cards and some Intel GPUs on Windows. Such end users would not be able to use FreeCAD as intended.

python3-pivy has finally made it into Debian Unstable, so I'd say we're ready for a release in terms of packaging. What else is left?
Just removed my homemade pivy package now, to use this one. Excellent, all the ecosystem around FreeCAD is in place, amazing job Kurt!
