    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.
