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.

Release notes for 7.7.1:

Fixes some pretty high severity bugs.

Comment 3 Richard Shaw 2023-06-26 22:17:28 UTC
Unfortunately the version of TBB in Fedora is too old. Hopefully a path forward is figured out now.
