When starting FreeCAD for the first time, it load the HTML content of
src/Mod/Start/StartPage/StartPage.html and show it as a friendly startup page.
Unfortunately, one of the tabs in the startup page is an iframe loading the content of
https://blog.freecadorg/. The effect is that every time one start FreeCAD, it dial
home over the Internet with a HTTP request to the mentioned URL. This is a privacy
problem. At the moment the blog page in turn will connect to https//i0.wp.com/ and
https//s0.wp.com/, in effect also reporting the startup to Wordpress. Please do not
dial out without the expressed approval and on request of the user of the program.
This patch change the startup page to instead of putting the blog posts in a tab, it
will link to the blog and the connection is only established when the user click on
'BLOG' in the start page. It include a link tooltop to make it easier to understand
that this will bring the user to a new page.
By setting a DefaultImportXXX preferences parameter under Mod/Start,
one can specify a default import module to use when clicking a .XXX
file on the Start page. This is specially useful for filetypes that
have several importers, and the Start page would not let users
choose which importer to use.
Later on if this proves useful we can set up an UI to let the user
set their preferences better.
This shifts to use the model-view-controller pattern for the list of addons,
and moves to using a full model class rather than an indexed array for the
data storage and management. This enables much more information to be stored
as part of the new AddonManagerRepo data type. It now wraps the Macro class
for macros, supports Preference Packs, and provides access to the Metadata
object.
