    Absolute­ly incred­i­ble work. A huge thank you to the entire devel­op­ment team! I just made a dona­tion, which is the only way I can think of to help.
    Now, a request for ver­sion 1.2: please resume devel­op­ment of the GD&T work­bench (https://github.com/juanvanyo/FreeCAD-GDT), which was a tool with incred­i­ble poten­tial, as it allowed you to spec­i­fy man­u­fac­tur­ing require­ments with­out hav­ing to gen­er­ate a 2D drawing…

    This feels like ter­ri­ble news … for Autodesk, Das­sault, PTC, and so on. Been using the 1.1RC3 and the improve­ments are phe­nom­e­nal. I’ve been using FreeCad for maybe 3 years now, start­ing I think with 0.18. More than 20 years of devel­op­ment had pro­duced some­thing func­tion­al-ish, very dif­fi­cult and frus­trat­ing to use. 1.0 was a huge improve­ment, as the num­ber sug­gest­ed was real­ly gen­er­al-use-ready, ready to actu­al­ly start dis­plac­ing com­mer­cial CAD. I expect­ed after that big years-in-the-mak­ing release, 1.1 would be some minor tweaks (huge improve­ments wait­ing for an even­tu­al 2.0). But no, this is a major step up. Progress on FreeCad isn’t just mov­ing; it’s accel­er­at­ing. Has reached the crit­i­cal point where it’s pop­u­lar­i­ty, and hence invest­ment in fur­ther devel­op­ment, is grow­ing. Excit­ed to see what is still to come!

    Excel­lent work by all vol­un­teers. Thank you for all the hard, this has been long await­ed release that puts FreeCAD anoth­er step clos­er to being an indus­try stan­dard tool.

    As some­one who’s hap­pi­ly and use­ful­ly dab­bled in FreeCAD for more than a decade, and who’s just local-built origin/backport-28796-to-releases/FreeCAD‑1–1 from GitHub (About says Ver­sion: 1.1.0.44822 (Git), Debian GNU/Linux 12 (book­worm) (KDE/plasma/xcb), Python 3.11.2, Qt 5.15.8, Coin 4.0.0, Vtk 9.1.0, boost 1_74, Eigen3 3.4.0, PySide 5.15.8, shi­bo­ken 5.15.8, SMESH 7.7.1.0, xerces‑c 3.2.4, OCC 7.6.3)…

    …it’s with sad­ness that I have to report prob­lems dur­ing my auditioning. 

    Attempt­ed to cus­tomise tool­bar icons. Nope. RHS pan­el absent. 

    Attempt­ed to con­struct nec­es­sary sketch with­in Part-Design’s edi­tor. Nope. Bug­gy weird­ness. For exam­ple, but not lim­it­ed to… con­struc­tion-line end-points show­ing incon­sis­tent­ly, not rou­tine­ly, only appear­ing when explic­it­ly sub-select­ing from the Task/S­ketch-Edit/Ele­ments pan­el, uns­e­lec­table in the main view… constraints/solver bug­gi­ness too (default Dog­Leg, FWIW). 

    Don’t sug­gest fil­ing bug-reports — I will not be sign­ing up with Amer­i­can cor­po­ra­tions like GitHub. And as for closed/proprietary trendy Dis­cord, well, you go f… igure. 

    FWIW, I remem­ber the FreeCAD forums as a vibrant place teem­ing with extreme­ly tal­ent­ed, respect­ed and friend­ly old engi­neers. Of course that was in the “Before Times.” Sure, all com­mu­ni­ties change over time, that’s life. As a bystander lurk­ing on the periph­ery, the unfor­giv­able tragedy was see­ing the need­less ugly frac­ture of an erst­while jew­el, such that the tal­ent­ed pas­sion­ate exper­tise was dri­ven away. 

    The believ­ers-in-dol­lars may pro­nounce the oper­a­tion a suc­cess, but I sus­pect the patien­t’s soul passed on. 

    So yeah, bugs mean my Sketch­er and oth­er bits aren’t work­ing as they should. 

    Ver­sion 1.1 release? Umm, yeah. Thanks, but… 

    (FWIW, it’s no fun being the real­ist among these celebrations)
