Maintainers have been backporting some of the fixes to the v1.1 branch where possible - 19 backports in the past 7 days. The list of changes in this recap applies to the main development branch (future v1.2).

This week in FreeCAD development:

Draft:

• YashSuthar983 added snapping to knots of BSplines (PR#26571).
• Roy-043 fixed the autogroup behavior when the active group is a layer (PR#27102).

Sketcher:

• PaddleStroke fixed the issue where dimensional constraints would visually match the lines when using on-view parameters (PR#25848). He also added a tooltip that displays the entire expression for constraints with an expression (PR#25954) and fixed disappearing construction lines during drawing (PR#27195).
• vcheckin fixed an intermittent crash on sketch exit (PR#27129).

Part and PartDesign:

• kadet1090 fixed two regressions in the MultiCommon boolean operation (PR#27012).
• theosib fixed mirror() regression with non-identity Placement (PR#26963).

Assembly: PaddleStroke contributed multiple fixes and improvements:

• Fixed the slider joint of the sub-assembly not working when inserted as a grounded part (PR#27206).
• Fixed isolate not working on sub-assembly components (PR#27173).
• Fixed assembly activation issues (PR#27194).
• Removed an extra solver message when the file is closed (PR#27210).
• Added support for single click to open exploded views in read-only mode, without entering the edit mode (PR#25456).

TechDraw:

• Lgt2x fixed Qt5 compatibility (PR#27253).
• WandererFan fixed the default circle centerline line style (PR#27134) and fixed a release blocker where the projection group jumps to the origin (PR#27094).

CAM:

• Daniel-Khodabakhsh fixed an error that would occur when Start depth equals to Final depth and Safe height (PR#27258).
• Luvtofish fixed and updated the Dyna_4060 postprocessor (PR#27202).

BIM/Arch:

• Roy-043 had eight of his pull requests merged, including these: fix for BuildingPart area calculation for indirect children (PR#24848), support for relative paths in hybrid IFC files (PR#24190), fix for subtractions not working with spaces (PR#27239), a test for horizontal area of tilted cylinders (PR#27108).
• Arusekk fixed a bug where an ArchBuildingPart would not move the child object base and only move the child itself (PR#27237).
• furgo16 added a task panel for wall options so that you can edit, e.g., alignment and width in one go (PR#26758). He also fixed a bug where a baseless wall with additions would have a different icon in the Tree View (PR#27277).

Other changes:

• pieterhijma contributed numerous improvements to the documentation of C++ API, expressions, and element mapping (PR#25194, PR#25195, PR#25196, PR#25197, PR#25198, PR#25199).
• kadet1090 added a TimeTracker utility that can be used to orchestrate code with time measurements in an easy way and detect performance issues (PR#26305).
• nishendra3 fixed angle measurement in the Measure tool (PR#27254).
