  • Planned 0 on the plan for the release it is filed under
  • Built 297 built and working in /lab (the dev builds). Whether the public has it is its reach: "in the lab", "Live" (the last gate) or "switched off"; see docs/REACH-LIVE.md
  • Partly built 0 part of it is built in /lab; the rest waits (see "Waits on")
  • Promised 0 the live site already says it is coming
  • Moved 0 moved here from an earlier release or wishlist
  • Found 0 bug found after a release shipped; fixed in a point release or the next one
  • Candidate 0 recommended in a spike or session log; owner to choose
  • Community please test 0 built and in /use; a Discord post gives the steps and the expected result and asks people to try it on their own devices, files or know-how
  • Decision Time 0 a decision, check, file, key, flag or go only you can give; folds into the list once answered

Built means built and working in the lab. Live means the public can use it, and is the last gate: 293 Built · Live, 4 Built · in the lab.

Every fix and feature

Grouped by track. App chips carry each app’s layer colour; Studio is in ink. "Waits on" names what has to happen first; the small lines under it say who asked and where the item is written up.

Regional standards 1
FeatureREG.1 Link to REG.1 Building regulations by jurisdiction (country, later state, county, city) as library packs

Building regulations by jurisdiction, kept in the library so they stay current outside the apps: a corrected limit or new edition is a new library version, not an app release. Full note: docs/0.8-ZA-STANDARDS.md section 1a. Granularity: country first (ISO 3166-1), later state (ISO 3166-2), county or district, city. Each level inherits the one above and can add, change or remove single rules; the report says where each rule came from. A pack is data only, never code: rules (applies to, comparison, value with unit, clause number, our own label), defaults, edition and dates. An ADD-ON, not part of the apps (owner: not in every app): the bundled BimCraft add-on 'Building regulations', off until switched on. Packs will be a Library item kind so people can submit their own; the doc lists the decisions (trust, who may publish a reference pack, copyright, pinned versions). BUILT in /lab (2026-10-25), first slice: the add-on (add-on API 1.2 hook), the pack format, a US (IRC 2021) pack and a South African sample, a Settings section, stairs that follow the pack, a Building regulations schedule. Packs are files beside the add-on for now. LEFT: the Library kind and submissions, pinned versions per project, state/county/city packs, other apps, a check report with sources. The South African numbers are UNCHECKED.

Field packs (Track FL) 75
FeatureFL.0 Link to FL.0 Field packs: one add-on kind that sets up every app for an engineering field

A data-only add-on kind `field` (cadcraft-field-pack v1): a manifest that lists, per host, the pieces a field needs — symbols, families, standard parts, templates, standards packs (REG.1 format), calc sheets (EG.18), Problems rules, lessons (EG.23), a skill pack (AC.5), a layout (WS.17), generators (CE), a sample file — and installs them in one step in every app and SuperCad Studio; a Fields page in the add-on directory with honest coverage cards; a build tool that assembles a pack from its sources; tests. Plan docs/0.8-PART6.md (Track FL).
