Computer Aided Design tools are notorious for not only being quite expensive, but also being complicated to use. This entry was posted in Announcement, Development and tagged official release 2.2.0 by LordOfBikes. This has become possible through OpenCollective and by GitHub Sponsors. These are basically used to pay our expenses for hosting and domain services. There may be LibreCAD 3 releases in parallel in future, but for the time being, not with the features that LibreCAD 2.2 currently offers.Īt last, let me mention, that we recently resumed to accept financial contributions again. That means there will probably be one or two more feature release 2.2.x. These can now be integrated into an unstable development branch. It is still a long way from productive use.Īlso there are still many contributions available for version 2.2 we wont waste. Unfortunately, we have to disappoint people who are hoping for a soon release of LibreCAD 3. This new stable version 2.2.0 finally replaces the previous stable 2.1.3. The new release also has an online manual which is hosted at Read the Docs.

We no longer have the resources to maintain a stable and a development branch side by side. But the main cause, however, is the loss of manpower in recent years.

It took far too long to present this new stable LibreCAD version.Īlready announced several times, new obstacles kept appearing.
