OpenSCAD 2019.05 released
Dear OpenSCAD users and developers,
OpenSCAD 2019.05 has just been released: http://www.openscad.org/news.html#20190518
This release adds a number of features which have been in development for the last 4 years. Some of the larger program features are Customizer, which was first started as a Google Summer of Code project, and 3D input device support. The OpenSCAD language itself and standard library has seen a number of iterative improvements
The source code, as well as binaries for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux are ready for download.
As usual, thanks go to everyone who has contributed to this release through development and community management, bug reports and fixes, documentation, translation, discussions, as well as testing the development snapshots!
A summary of changes since last release follows.
Take care,
-Marius
Language Features:
- New modules
- assert() - stop script evaluation on failed constraints
- let() - scoped assignment
- New functions
- ord() - convert from character to Unicode code point

- Support for using 3D-Mouse / Joystick / Gamepad input devices for controlling the 3D view
- 3D Printing support: Purchase from a print service partner or print to Octoprint
- New export file formats: SVG, 3MF, AMF
- Quick-edit and preview of values using Alt-Arrows (Shift-Alt-Arrows on macOS)
- Added --view cmd-line parameter
- Play sound notification on render complete
- Line numbers and filenames are now shown for many errors and warnings
- Hardwarning preference: Stop on first warning
- Hardwarning and assert now shows a stack trace
- New warnings
- Module call parameterns don't match module declaration

Sounds great, Are there any changes to the dependencies required to
build from source?

Yup, quite a few since 2015, but if you follow the README you should be in good shape.
-Marius
Great news. Thanks to all the contributors. Hopefully new releases can be
much smaller increments from now on and so more frequent.

Possibly. We're using a small Javascript snippet to suggest a download. What does your navigator object say?
You can use e.g. this to test that: https://www.javatpoint.com/oprweb/test.jsp?filename=jsnavigator

I see the same as Nophead, this is from Firefox, Pale Moon is almost
identical.
