New SH3D 7.6 (Windows/SourceForge)

Post by snmavronis »

Just noticed on SourceForge a new SweetHome3D-7.6.1-windows.exe

Before I install can someone tell me what has changed from version 7.5?

There's a source zip file, but no changelog. Licence is still GPL 2+. At a guess, this may be the changes that have been available in the Mac and Windows stores. Weren't they on a 7.6.1 release number?

As a Linux user this application is pretty much dead for me now. Not even sure why I still keep an eye on the forum. It's turned into a morgue round here, and a good chunk of the new messages are just bloody spam.

Dunno where I got the idea there was a source zip file... not there now. Have they removed it, or did I imagine it?

Thanks for that. I couldn't see the forest for the trees. I cautiously checked, and it is still GPL'd, so I took a look. So here's a sure fire way to be bloody annoying. Trying to diff 7.5 to this "7.6.1" is made oh-so-fun because they touched every single bloody file updating the copyright year. No other changes... just that...

There is zero need to update the copyright year on an unmodified file. Amateur hour.

So after I played around a bit and eliminated that noise, plus all the non code files, the grand sum of actual code changes are:
  • update all the copyrights
  • add something that appears to connect/retrieve some stuff from sourceforge, demo houses I think
  • add a sourceforge button to the toolbar that opens a URL to sourceforge in a browser
  • a new "onboarding" dialog
  • replace a bunch of explicit imports in a test with wildcard imports
Hardly ground breaking stuff.
