Compatibility

Prerelease builds of FreeCAD have been used to create the models. Therefore, incompatibilities with older or newer FreeCAD builds might occur. The following software builds haven been used and are known to be compatible:

Partial loading of linked files should be disabled. If not, some files need to be reloaded manually to fix some glitches.

Content created with the TechDraw workbench might seem broken (content shifted out of the drawing area) when first viewed after loading the file. If so, switch to 3D view and then back to the TechDraw content or right click the TechDraw document in tree view to fix the layout issues.

Before commiting to this repository, _setup.sh should be run to setup a git smudge filter, that decompresses FCStd files during commit: FCStd files are zip compressed archives of mostly xml formatted plaintext files. Git's delta compression works very well for xml files, but not if compressed. For security reasons, the filter needs to be configured explicitly. Therefore, it cannot be shared in a way that does need user interaction. Decompressing is done using compression level store which preserves full FreeCAD compatibility. A clean filter is not used, therefore files in working tree are slightly bigger after checkout compared with the initial file size.
