  • 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.

FeatureD8.14 Link to D8.14 Full-screen crosshair, edge to edge, in every app (CURSORSIZE 100)

Settings › General › Full-screen crosshair: one switch for all eight apps. Two thin lines through the pointer run edge to edge across the drawing or view under it, so you can check by eye that two things line up; toolbars, cards and hints over the view stay on top, and nothing changes with a finger. CadCraft draws it itself (in the active pane of a split view, following the UCS) and also has it as a fourth cursor size, Full screen, set by CURSORSIZE as in AutoCAD: 100 is full screen, a smaller number picks the nearest size (under 5 Small, 5–9 Medium, 10–99 Large). Discord 2026-10-30 (a Discord member, from the other CadCraft channel), owner: "need another feature added to 0.8 now", then "allow the fullscreen crosshairs on all apps".
