FreeCAD Link Branch Release Has Been Relocated to Here.

Difference between Daily and Stable releases

Note that I will start releasing both Stable (i.e. LinkStage3) and Daily (LinkDaily) branch from now on. Here is a few things you need to know

  • The Stable branch does not mean the program is now considered as stable. But I do aim for a stable release here, which will include mostly fixes in each new release.
  • The Stable branch is in sync with upstream FreeCAD 0.19.1. But upstream 0.19.1 has not been merged with LinkStage3 yet. We are working on it.
  • New features will be added to daily branch first for testing.
  • The Daily branch has an important update on Topo Naming internals for much improved speed, memory, and storage efficiency. I plan to merge this version of topo naming into upstream, so please download and try this, and report any problem you have. Make sure to backup your projects first.
  • The Daily branch introduces an experimental renderer that bypasses Coin3D and do its own rendering. It renders much faster than Coin3D for complex and deep assembly hierarchies (works for assembly STEP imports). You can enabled it in Preference -> Display -> Render cache -> Experimental. The renderer does not yet work with nodes that uses texture, e.g. text labels in Draft.

SolveSpace solver no longer bundled with the release image

For better compliance with licensing restrictions, the SolveSpalce Python binding py-slvs is no longer bundled with the release images.

When launching Assembly3 workbench, or opening some file containing Assembly3 assemblies, you will be prompt to install py-slvs. The package is to be installed via pip as a user package, so it only need to be done once. If you it reports install failed, try restart FreeCAD

IMPORTANT! If you have manually installed Assembly3 workbench in your FreeCAD user directory, you may need to manually sync the repository to the latest in order to get the installation prompt.

For Linux user, in case you don't know yet, there is now snap build image available for testing. Since it's built automatically by github workflow, it will be updated more frequently for hot fixes

For Windows user, a new build of Daily branch using Conda is available. It was made in response to a request from a developer for experiementing using FreeCAD inside Blender, as Conda build (in all platforms) uses Python 3.9

MacOS BigSur build is now using OCC 7.6, as a result only Daily branch is available. Stable release is available in MacOS Conda build.
