Open-source licence compliance. The installer no longer carries build tools it
never runs (PyArmor, Nuitka) nor the FEM and graph programs the application
never calls (CalculiX, Gmsh, Graphviz): the download is 214 MB smaller, and the
build now stops if an unexpected package turns up in the bundled runtime.
New "Third-party licences" window under Help - Version, listing every
open-source component with its version, its licence and the full licence text.
It works in the Demo too. FreeCAD and Blender are credited there and on the
website.
The source code of the open-source components is now published alongside the
installer, as the GPL and the LGPL require.
You can now run the application against your own build of FreeCAD, through the
CABINET_FREECAD_DIR environment variable.
Photorealistic rendering: fixed the floor going transparent in the foreground
and showing the backdrop through it, and the camera no longer leaves the room
when you zoom out.
Licence agreement updated to version 1.3: a new section on third-party and
open-source components, and the reverse-engineering restriction no longer
overrides rights granted by an open-source licence (acceptance is requested
again).
New front, side, rear extension possibilities for top and base
Semi-automatic redistribution of hinges based on dividers/shelves
Fix — new opening.door_split_line(door, solved):
the leaves meet on the centre of the region rect (the vano). interior.build_door_panels uses it for both xm and zm.
Fix: the snap is now the gesture, not the position.
Fix of inclined blade cuts for slanted cabinets
Contouring direction (clockwise / counter-clockwise) is now a setting in Technology Configuration.
Separate extra depth for blade cuts, next to the 5-axis blade tool.
The machine now stops after contouring an oblique profile so the operator can remove the loose offcuts; parking position is configurable.
Deep horizontal drilling on out-of-square corner units: the program shifts the workplane onto the wood instead of drilling through the air.
Machining warnings no longer mention a missing tool when no tool is missing.
Fixed the bevel direction of tilted blade cuts: mirrored corners of an out-of-square room were machined identical instead of opposite.
CNC export no longer fails when a panel, instance or tool name contains accented characters.
Added edge visibility in Render
Added the ability to open a single door/drawer (double click on element)
Exposing Offset BX and BY parameters.
Removed Generic CSV Machine Profile
Improved CNC and Logical controls.
Modified the material definition dialog
Redefining the Technology Configuration interface
Cleaning up some obsolete menus.
Adding isolated element view.
Correction on F6 CNC Output.
Correction on element thickness based on material change.
Faster updates: the render engine is no longer reinstalled, and the installer warns if the application is open.
Render no longer stalls at 0% after an update.
Expansion of the tutorials and manual in all languages.
Insertion of explanations icons for each parameter present in the program
Management of out-of-square corner unit
Rendering exposure and color improvement

fix of the front setback for intermediate door/drawer dividers.

Materials and thicknesses per element
Fixed the logic of the generated code for housing milling
Keep-out bands from milling + offset in the direction with more space
Color correction
PBR materials with transparent background textures
Different thicknesses per role (also on the corner unit)
Check that the hardware fits the chosen thickness
Handling automatic updates from the Composer menu
Post processor fix on F6 in-face code generation
PGMX generation - native Maestro export also to PGMX (via XConverter), in addition to XCS
Smart PGMX gate - the PGMX format is chosen only with both paths set (XConverter.exe + .tlgx); otherwise it reverts to XCS. Fields with clear indications, translated into 8 languages
Open folder after CSV export - the cutting list automatically opens the folder (Cabinet Designer + Multi-Module)
