BenchUp 0.6.8 — Angular dimensions, selection, and responsive exports

2026-11-11

Language support

• Choose Simplified Chinese in Settings, with bundled Chinese fonts and translated controls, navigation, and modeling messages.
• Use the supported browser or operating-system language automatically on first launch.

Reports and screenshots

• Generate time and cost estimates, cutting reports, cutting plans, and workshop-label PDFs in the background on desktop and in the browser, with immediate progress feedback.
• Prepare screenshot previews and exports more efficiently by reusing viewport scene data and avoiding copies of project history.

Project menus

• Keep the Recent Projects menu exclusive to desktop, where saved project paths can be reopened, and improve the layout of recent-project entries.

Modeling and selection

• Create angular dimensions to annotate angles in your model.
• Select faces and connected geometry with repeated clicks.
• Control snapping to directly hovered visible elements with a remembered setting.
• Use the clearer Focus on Edited Group display option.
• Improve Push/Pull face merging, drag origins, and snap-target selection.
• Improve Push/Pull preview occlusion, face hovering, and inward cuts.

Release reliability

• Improve Linux dependency installation with faster timeouts and an Ubuntu mirror fallback.
• Handle Linux CI runner mirror lists when falling back to Ubuntu package mirrors.

Desktop integration and previews

• Open .bup projects through desktop file associations and save portable viewport previews without enlarging small images.
• Install BenchUp on Intel Macs running macOS 11 or later using the dedicated Intel download.
• Use a theme-aware New Project icon.
