Let's take her out for a spin...

EDIT: annnnnd two crashes on the x86_64 AppImage in twenty minutes, both when attempting to start a sketch on a face. Could easily be my Kubuntu install, but... sigh.

EDIT2: Seeing that some issues might be related to changes to the Appimage framework. I'll need to see if I need some system updates. Windows version is running smoother, though my middle mouse button stopped working for some reason until restarting the app. If you haven't tried FreeCAD in a while, give it a shot; you may be pleasantly surprised. If you have, it's not a vastly different experience than recent daily builds or Ondsel (RIP).

Oh, did they finally make it usable?

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

LOL, that question may be rather dependent on when you last tried it. It's definitely better than, say, version 0.21.

i think v1.0 is there because "Ondsel" is stopping and donated things to FreeCad
