Is Silk ready for FreeCAD 1.0 Release ?

• Preparations for FreeCAD v1.0 Release FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons#305

Not yet.

Three phases needed:
-a sizable update to complete under 0.2x
-1.0RC testing (not started yet - i can't afford to lose my config files right now...so i must finish the the 0.2x update first)
-light and dark mode issues

If a Silk user could test under RC1.0, that'd be great...but i'll still have to follow the workflow above.

Any Silk users come to mind that you can ping ?

Eventually i might, but i struggle to find any time to work on Silk these days...i really need to focus on the update itself.

Honestly....if you could just load the WB and confirm it doesn't make FreeCAD hang that would be a great first step :)

The workbench loads and FreeCAD still works. Not sure on how to use this WB yet, just starting on CAD/CAM.

Thanks luzpaz. I'm just stuck on work these days. If the WB doesn't hang FreecAD 1.0, i see no reason not to keep it in the addon manager.

I do have work in progress on Silk, but I want to wrap up the changes before moving on to 1.0 myself. Might not happen until winter, when I can finally take some time off.

Totally understand. Silk is an awesome workbench and it would be a shame for it to fall to the wayside.
