Release notes 0.19
Did we miss something? |
Let us know in the 0.19 Relase Notes fourm thread!. |
Older FreeCAD release notes can be found in Feature list.
General
Python3 / Qt5
The effort to migrate from Python2 and Qt4 to Python3 and Qt5 is essentially complete and most developers have moved or are moving to the Python3 / Qt5 toolchains. Undoubtedly there are unforeseen bugs and unannticipated breakages that will present themselves during the next development cycle or two, but any existing dependence on Python2 or Qt4 will not be supported moving forward. Note that some developers of certain workbenches have not yet ported to Python3 / Qt5. This may be caused by many things, including a lack of support, time, resources, or broken dependencies that may or may not be easily fixed. |
