Should we create a 2.2.1 branch?

Since we have added lots of features since 2.2.0.x:

1. create a freature freeze branch towards a stable 2.2.1 release;
2. Make the master branch Qt6 and drop 32bit windows support.

Good morning dxli

I can agree with both points.
But I have found one more thing:

Clicking on the following button crashes version 2.2.1_alpha-424-g806e61d0:


Furthermore, the round line ends of individual lines do not yet work:


This also applies to polylines, polygons an text, where the line ends are also angular.

I work under Windows 11 23H2.

Select a text in a drawing.
Right-click on the text -> Edit Block ...
The block is opened.
Click on Current Drawing Options -> LibreCAD crashes.

As 2.2.0 is two year old (dec 2022) and that a lot of development occurred since then, I can't agree more that a release would be welcome ! :-)

As the link dxli gave from QT documentation shows settings for line ends and for joins are separate. So obviously in alpha 424 only joins have been set to round. If you draw a couple of lines as a polyline (like rectangle) you actually get rounded joins, if you draw these as normal single lines, you get squared off joins. In both cases open line ends are always square.
Probably something dxli just has missed, easy fix.

Added a quick fix in master, will do some refactoring later on.

The pen widgets are currently work-in-progress with two large PRs from sand1024.

Both Cap-style and Join-style are now fixed to "Round" in master.

Great!

I will fork a 2.2.1 after the PRs from sand1024.

The PRs are quite solid in quality, so they should go to 2.2.1

A big compliment!
I almost can't wait ;-).

In the next release I'd like to see:

* snap point Start/Middle/End fixed on Line commands for Orthogonal and Relative Angle

* fix the relative angle display rounding issue that often displays a 30° angle as 29.99999999999999999999999996°



Version: 2.2.1_alpha-412-g9ccea6fb
Compiler: GNU GCC 13.2.0
Compiled on: Apr 17 2024
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Boost Version: 1.75.0
System: Windows 10 Version 2009

The angle display issue is easy.

Could you explain more on the snap point part?

It's useful to have an orthogonal line at intersection points, for example.

Found a little Bug:

If the diameter symbol is activated when dimensioning a circle, it is also active in the aligned dimensioning, angular dimension, Arc measure  and cannot be deactivated there.

Deactivation is only possible if you go back to the diameter dimensioning and deactivate the diameter button there.

Best regards,
André

Please draw a line then try the line types and you will notice the options are inconsistent: https://docs.librecad.org/en/latest/ref/tools.html#line

2. Angle: Angle, Length, Snap Point (Start,Middle,End) options work as expected
3. Horizontal: Length, Snap Point (Start,Middle,End) options work as expected
4. Vertical: No options displayed (bug) - should have Length, Snap Point (Start,Middle,End)
12. Orthogonal: Length - should have Snap Point (Start,Middle,End) option too
13. Relative Angle: Angle, Length - should have Snap Point (Start,Middle,End) option too

The snap point is a feature implemented at individual action level.

Our current action design makes it difficult to share features across drawing actions.

To copy the implementation is an obvious solution here, but we will see whether a better design can help

I can confirm that it works on Windows 11.

Thank you very much!

That would be good. Many of those features are the same command but the angle is know so not required from the interface.

Done:

1, created a 2.2.1 branch (fixed macOS building), tagged 2.2.1_rc1;
2, moved the master branch to qt6, dropped 32bit win32 support, with 3 architectures left: Linux, macOS, win64.
