If you are not involved with the development discussed here:
!!! PLEASE DO NOT EDIT OR TRANSLATE !!!

Important: many of these roadmaps are not up to date or perhaps abandoned. This page and the pages it links to most likely contain obsolete info. A 'soft' roadmap can be found on the bugtracker but for now there isn't a 'hard' roadmap. There are many efforts going on simultaneously.

FreeCAD - though usable in many applications - is at the beginning of a long journey into CAD mainstream. There is still a lot to do to reach a state where we can compete with commercial software.

This section gives an overview of what is planned and gives you the opportunity to participate or give your opinion. As we are volunteers to FreeCAD we have only a certain amount of time. So if you interested in one of the topics and willing to help, just let us know! We use the Getting Things Done (GTD) style for the project document. Here is the Project template.

Projects

Artwork project A project to update logo and icons GUI Current

Release schedule

Like in the most FLOSS projects a release schedule is very rough. There will be no fixed dates and "It's done, when it's done!"

  • The Release process page gather ideas for a more efficient release workflow
