As mentioned earlier, OpenSCAD participated in Google Summer of Code 2014 as part of the BRL-CAD umbrella. We accepted one student, Shaina Sabarwal, this summer to work on a user interface brushup project. Please head over to her blog post summarizing her work.
We’re also happy to announce that as of today, we’ve merged all her contributions to our github master branch. The latest binary snapshot containing the new features is available for download.
Thanks to Shaina and Google, as well as Torsten for mentoring, for making this project possible!
