1.0.0 - Highlights
Below are the major highlights in JupyterCAD 1.0.0
New packaging system
From 1.0.0, JupyterCAD is split into multiple python and javascript packages, this makes deploying and extending JupyterCAD easier.
- New python packages:
jupytercad-core: package contains core plugins for worker registry, jcad file support, document tracker, and annotationjupytercad-lab: package contains plugins for lab interface and notebook supportjupytercad-app: the standaloneJupyterCADapplication
- New js packages:
@jupytercad/schema: package contains the schema of the JCAD file and related models/interfaces@jupytercad/opencascade: the custom opencascade.js build forJupyterCAD@jupytercad/occ-worker: the opencascade worker ofJupyterCAD.@jupytercad/base: package contains the UI components.
The current jupytercad PYPI package is still available, but it has become a meta-package to facilitate the installation of the application. Users can continue to install JupyterCAD with
pip install jupytercadNew extension system
JupyterCAD now provides multiple tokens to allow extending its features by using the JupyterLab extension system. Users can register new file formats, register new operators, or add more post-processing capabilities to the application.
By using the new system, FreeCAD file format is supported through an extension of JupyterCAD, users can install it with
pip install jupytercad-freecadNew supported file format
JupyterCAD now can render the geometries of a STEP file. More improvement in the interoperability of the STEP file will be added in future versions.
