Time to get caught up on these again. Rumor has it 0.19 is getting released soon... right?

i don't think so,

since months 0.19 has various regressions and although committed they are still unsolved particularly in part design/sketcher

Could you please list the various regressions in Sketcher?

formula with constraints doesn't work since months chrisb

That's indeed a well known regression, and one of the currently known show stoppers for 0.19, see https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=51016.
It is not really a sketcher, but rather an expressions issue, although it occurs there too. A pull request is ready and needs to be merged.
To help you out: It is not the formulae which are broken, it is the proposal list. If you know the name of the constraint, just type it in and the formula works again.

Any further Sketcher issues?

Forgive me for this is my first contribution. I submitted a PR that makes the tool setup images a bit nicer. I will be creating images for all the tool types and figure out how to get them to display.

0.19 is broken with Mac OS Big Sur. 0.18 still runs, though.
