WIP Wednesday, 30 April 2025
This week in FreeCAD development:

Draft: Roy_043 added a global mode to the ShapeString task panel so that coordinates could be relative to the global coordinate system.

Sketcher: AjinkyaDahale pushed another fix for the Trim tool, this time—to avoid an unnecessary geometry update when trimming.

Assembly: furgo16 patched the BOM tool to support autopopulating column

WIP Wednesday, 23 April 2025
This week in FreeCAD development:

Draft:

Roy_043 added some initial code to track documents so that the task panel could be closed when a document is closed. Expect further work to get this to work in BIM as well.

tetektoza renamed the Continue mode to Chained, but retained the original mode for the Dimension command.

Sketcher:

AjinkyaDahale fixed more trim
