2.7 release?

[adam-urbanczyk]

Let's try to finalize and merge the following PRs:

• Replacing typish with runtype #1967
• Propagation of subshape names to geometric STEP entities #1965
• Add GUI elements to fig.Figure #1943
• Update sphinx multimethod customization to handle toplevel functions #1932
• Fix close for mixed mode edges #1477
• Multimethod changes and type checking #1969

What do you think?

---

• Replace deprecated pyparsing names and arguments #1974
• Remove deprecated functions #1972

---

• Update cqgi for py3.14 #1986

[lorenzncode]

Is it a good opportunity to remove previously deprecated functions?

[adam-urbanczyk]

Yeah, good idea.

[greyltc]

How about #1946 ?

[adam-urbanczyk]

We could add the cqgi fix, but not OCP 7.9.

[Oblynx]

OCP 7.9 needs more quality assurance?

[greyltc]

We could add the cqgi fix, but not OCP 7.9.

you mean you think a 2.7 cadquery release could have updates to support python 3.14, but not updates to support https://github.com/CadQuery/OCP/releases/tag/7.9.3.0?

[adam-urbanczyk]

Precisely.

[greyltc]

Gotcha.

FYI, my testing shows that the only thing in the test suite that fails today using python 3.14 and the OCP 7.9.3.0 release, if I take fe53ca0 and apply 7cf644e, is the cqgi/ast stuff.

[Oblynx]

OCP 7.9 also brought ARM wheels. Do you think we can build ARM wheels before OCP 7.9?

I think the main problem is the old VTK version. Is it possible to not require VTK before upgrading to OCP 7.9?

Open to help ;)

@Oblynx For wheels, please open an issue here.

[Oblynx]

The ocp-build-system repo builds the cadquery-ocp wheels and it already provides an ARM64 wheel for ocp 7.9.
The cadquery wheel depends on the ocp wheel, so we can't use cadquery-ocp 7.9 with cadquery 2.6, which depends on cadquery-ocp == 7.8.

Did you mean something different @jmwright ?

[jmwright]

@Oblynx I thought you were asking for a 7.9.3 wheel. There is only up to a 7.9.2 wheel in that repo currently. It may not be practical for your use case, but you can try a local pip install of CadQuery and use the ocp79 branch from this PR.

OCP 7.9 needs more quality assurance?

Yes, I believe the concensus is that trying to fit 7.9 compatibility into this release is too much. It needs more time and quality assurance.

[Oblynx]

OK, now we understand each other :) That makes sense. Thanks!

I added #1986 to the list.
