Development version CD-548

Thanks a lot for your interest in helping the development of Fritzing!

This is a development version of Fritzing. Please create backups, use on a virtual machine, whatever you think secures your data. Do not use for production. That said, we trust our code enough to run it on our development machines.

To report problems

Please look if there is already an issue on github. Adding information to existing issues makes
them much more likely to be fixed.
Don't expect individual support, the idea of the development version is to enable collaboration by using a common known build. We have >800 issues on the backlog. If you can provide useful information, this might help in raising the issue to the top of the backlog.

Why do we publish this?
Detecting errors as early as possible usually makes them much easier to fix. Therefore we want to allow more people to try and work with the development version. We publish this development version because we hope to get error reports.

Development version CD-506

Thanks a lot for your interest in helping the development of Fritzing!

This is a development version of Fritzing. It is not even a beta. It was not tested for any platform. It may just crash.
It may turn your computer into a useless piece of metal. Create backups, use on a virtual machine, put it in quarantine, whatever you think secures your data. Do not use for production. That said, we trust our code enough to run it on our development machines.

To report problems

Please look if there is already an issue on github. Adding information to existing issues makes
them much more likely to be fixed.
Don't expect individual support, the idea of the development version is that you help us. We have >800 issues on the backlog. If you can provide useful information, this might help in raising the issue to the top of the backlog.

Why do we publish this?
Detecting errors as early as possible usually makes them much easier to fix. Therefore we want to allow more people to try and work with the development version. We publish this development version because we hope to get error reports.
Why is there no Windows version?
In the future we might create a beta program. If you have read until here, you might already qualify. Write me if you are interested.
Are there known issues with this build?
Yes, at the time of this writing, 862 open issues, some of them known.

0.9.4 prerelease 2

2019-09-30T11:59:09Z

Prerelease

We are making progress, but this is still a prerelease.

This is a summary of changes since 0.9.3beta. Bear with me if there is something missing,
as I joined the project in 2019, more than two years after the beta of 0.9.3.

Q: What are you waiting for?

A: For 0.9.3 the parts library has been changed so it could be updated much more frequently than the application.
This works fine for new parts. But some parts had to be fixed, and we want to take some extra
steps to guarantee that when rolling this out, no current projects are broken.

CI/CD and automated builds

A continuous delivery has been set up for the following targets:

Fedora 30
Ubuntu Bionic (18.04)
MacOS 14
MacOS 13
Windows 10
Ubuntu Xenial (16.04)

Some new feature where added to the build system

MD5 sums for release binaries
Enable headless builds using fvwm
Docker builds

Thanks to Ovidiu-Florin Bogdan for you help
and Travis-CI for the great service.
