Description H. Peter Anvin 2023-06-26 01:47:02 UTC

OpenCascade 7.7.0 has been out since July 11, 2022.

It notably fixes bugs in mesh generation which makes FreeCAD unusable in a number of cases.

From the release notes:

Mesh
• BRepMesh works too long and produces many free nodes on a valid face
problems are resolved.
• Meshing the shape no longer takes too long and visualization problems are
corrected.
• Wrong shading display of thrusections is fixed.
• Rendering issue when using deviation coefficient of low value is resolved.
• Mesher no longer produce 'bad' result for extruded spline with given deviation
coefficient.
• Holes in triangulation with large linear deflection are removed.
• Broken triangulation on pipe shape is fixed.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Many uses of intersecting or sharply turning pipes end up generating bad rendering and/or bad data exchange output.

This severely impedes correct operation of FreeCAD.

OpenCascade 7.7.1 was not listed on opencascade.org, but was apparently released on March 21, 2023.

Fixes some pretty high severity bugs.

Unfortunately the version of TBB in Fedora is too old. Hopefully a path forward is figured out now.
