OK, so I released a bug-fix version 0.5.5

And then, at looking at GitHub, I see that some people made comments, and even proposed code improvements ... and I have no idea how to merge/use them. I did merge one through the web interface of GitHub, but it doesn't appear on my local branch. WTF ?

Maybe you should consider using Gitkraken, which is a GUI for git. It's proprietary but i use it for open source only. It's very useful to visualize what is going on in a repo. git is a bit convoluted but what you are trying to understand is thankfully not complex git stuff. Feel free to private message me.

Hello Zolko;

Have you tested Assembly4 for with Realthunders link merge? If you do not want to build it. Maybe you can use this PPA.

Thank-you for the link. I didn't have yet the time to test Asm4 with the Link::Merge, and I'll be offline for a couple of weeks. Cheers

After App::Link oriented PR gets merged hopefully Assembly 4 module will start to work with upstream FreeCAD. And hence people will be able to install it through Addon manager.

That should hopefully increase the (install) success rate.

Not enough.. it will need also Expressions.

If i remember correctly a rather small modification was needed (expression engine) to get it working? In such case i guess that could get upstream too. For the purpose of getting more people involved in Assembly 4 discussions.

yes-and-no: Asm4 uses the extended ExpressionEngine that is included as standard in realthunder's asm3 branch, no modifications needed. But we probably can't use the ExpressionEngine that comes as standard in v0.19-pre, I don't yet know whether realthunder has included that in his PR. I have to check.

But I'm also thinking about another way for Asm4 that wouldn't need the ExpressionEngine at all. And that could lead to a future merge of Asm2+ and Asm4, by using the Asm2+ solver with the Asm4 assembly structure. We'll have to discuss that.

To include Link support in ASM2+ has been discussed earlier, The conclusion was that support for link should be implemented when Link got merged. so soon ish ;)
