This week in FreeCAD development: Sketcher PaddleStroke fixed document recomputes not honoring a configured default solver ( PR#32461 ). tritao fixed a bug where the solver would fail to converge when coincident constraints are used ( PR#30683 ). Part and PartDesign codeotaku fixed two issues where loft would break in certain scenarios ( PR#32303 ). pyro9 re-wrote the logic to better select viable profiles to build lofts ( PR#31488 ). andershol reduced recompute time ( PR#32409 ). tarman3 patched SubShapeBinder to avoid adding binders to single, not activated bodies ( PR#30931 ). Assembly oursland fixed several crashes, a solver recursion, and transient state leaking into saved files ( PR#32008 ). PaddleStroke removed the need to create a ground joint where it’s overkill ( PR#30998 ) and contributed array tools to Assembly in 19 PRs so far (at least one more is in review). Here is a video explainer from the developer: CAM Connor fixed a regression where peck drilling no longer had access to retract depth ( PR#32281 ). tarman3 added the ability to do chain-drilling as a strategy for profiling and pocketing to DressupPlungeMilling ( PR#30188 ) and patched Helix to set default cone angle where possible ( PR#30985 ). davidgilkaufman implemented z‑checks on arc paths for rest machining ( PR#32562 ) and replaced the process for Clipper curve discretization and fitting ( PR#30169 ), which is part of his Clipper 1 to Clipper 2 migration project. Dimitris75 and sliptonic added a planar surfacing operation ( PR#31924 ). FEM marioalexis84 fixed constraint symbol paths ( PR#32176 ) chennes addressed the ZipSlip vulnerability ( PR#31878 ). maxwxyz fixed a crash when you select “von Mieses” in the pipeline field ( PR#32676 ). BIM furgo16 replaced the default 10×10cm grid with a 10×10m one to make it work for AEC projects ( PR#32597 ). Roy-043 contributed several patches, including one where the “No supported edges” warning is no longer displayed for wall bases with faces ( PR#32056 ). Measurement Krrish777 fixed measurements taken on geometry that sits inside a link or a compound with its own internal location ( PR#31904 ). MortenVajhoj patched the Mass Properties tool to avoid measuring invisible items ( PR#32594 ). Lokestrom added delta measurements to the task panel ( PR#30641 ). Other changes Roy-043 fixed several issues in Draft and BIM ( PR#32168 , PR#32481 , PR#31845 ). xtemp09 added dithering to suppress color banding in gradinets in the 3D view ( PR#32661 ). maxwxyz fixed LCS attachment across several workbenches ( PR#32401 ). tritao fixed a bug where the decimal point was handled incorrectly in the numeric input in some locales ( PR#30139 ). paragforwork improved visual feedback in the alias dialog in Spreadsheet ( PR#27584 ). kadet1090 made project thumbnails transparent and uniform to improve their legibility ( PR#32489 ). Additional improvements and fixes were contributed by 007stevendigar-lgtm, 3x380V, andershol, awgrover, bcherrington, chennes, faecorrigan, greg19, ipatch, j‑hewett, kadet1090, Lgt2x, maxwxyz, PaddleStroke, pyro9, robertmassaioli, TheBhowmik, and YashSuthar983.
