> Hey thanks @Moult. I hadn’t built PythonOCC master for a while, seems that version is not officially released yet [https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc-core/releases](https://github.com/tpaviot/pythonocc-core/releases) Do you have any intention on updating it to the latest PythonOCC version? Sure. Backwards compatibility of these changes seems like it’s going to be a bit painful, but I’ll need that for a while. Pull Request very welcome!

I have documented all the options there.
