Official stable release 2.2.0

2022-12-17T08:22:44Z

Finally, here it is!

It took far too long to present this new stable LibreCAD version.
Already announced several times, new obstacles kept appearing. But the main cause, however, is the loss of manpower in recent years.
We no longer have the resources to maintain a stable and a development branch side by side.
In addition, there were many problems in our parallel project libdxfrw, which we also take care of.
And there are also many invisible tasks to be dealt with, such as moving to a new cloud server, a new homepage, looking for financing our expenses, to name just a few.

About 4800 commits have been made since the last stable version 2.1.3. Too much to go into detail.
So here are a few notable changes in the new version 2.2.0:
* many causes of crashes have been eliminated
* eliminated DWG issues in libdxfrw, which caused several crashes
* the performance of panning and zooming in large files has been significantly improved
* the undo/redo engine has been completely revised due to several problems
* adjustments for new compiler and Qt versions were required
* extension of the command line, multi-line commands, paste and open command files
* improvement of the print preview, with tiled printing and line widths adjustment
* multiple selection and bulk actions in block and layer lists

By expanding our CI, we can now easily provide up-to-date binary packages that allow many users to easily test and bug hunt on Windows, MacOS and Linux.

The new release also has an online manual which is hosted at Read the Docs.

This new stable version 2.2.0 finally replaces the previous stable 2.1.3.

Unfortunately, we have to disappoint people who are hoping for a soon release of LibreCAD 3. It is still a long way from productive use.
Also there are still many contributions available for version 2.2 we wont waste. These can now be integrated into an unstable development branch. That means there will probably be one or two more feature release 2.2.x.
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.

At last, let me mention, that we recently resumed to accept financial contributions again. These are basically used to pay our expenses for hosting and domain services.
This has become possible through OpenCollective and by GitHub Sponsors.

Please, find the new release on Github:
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases/tag/2.2.0
or SourceForge:

2.2.0 Release Candidate 2 published

2020-12-31T09:02:19Z

We have a new Release Candidate for LibreCAD 2.2.0.
https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases/tag/2.2.0-rc2

Binary packages can be found on the GitHub release page linked above and also on our SourceForge site, which is linked from the GitHub site too.

There were recently 2 serious bugs fixed with reading DWG files, so this version hopefully solves some issues and crashes with DWG files.

We still need a way to deploy a binary Linux package, preferred as AppImage.
If someone is experienced in this, any help is welcome.

LibreCAD - A Dead App

2020-03-20T03:27:14Z

"Externally LibreCAD looks kinda like a dead app (stable release is over 3 years old, last unstable release is over 2 years old on an abandoned development branch)".

I totally disagree but it's clear why people form this view. The LibreCAD Mushroom Management system doesn't present the fantastic work done by the community for people to make an informed view. It is important because the whole community misses out on valuable contributions from people that don't join the community. Image what could be achieved with double the resources.

How to make the LibreCAD community more vibrant:

1. Make a plan so community contributions to develop LibreCAD are used efficiently and effectively.
2. Communicate with the community. Celebrate our successes by committing to regular updates on what is happening in the community, how planned goals are progressing.
3. Releases. Forget the concept of Draft - release every project regularly (say quarterly) so the community can test the work and contribute to development taking the best direction and improving every version. (There's no benefit developing the perfect Netscape.) The Pareto Principle says most of the benefit occurs from the first work anyway.
4. Keep Development (Master) branches separate from Release (Stable) branches for all projects.

Many open source communities manage these things more effectively than LibreCAD. What do you think?

Google Summer of Code 2019

2019-02-28T01:45:54Z

A new round of Google Summer of Code is gather speed.

We are happy to announce, that once again, LibreCAD is part of GSoC in 2019!

Again, under the umbrella of BRL-CAD, a couple of CAD/CAM/CAE or short CAx organizations going to mentor students for a 3 month full time coding challenge during their summer break.
The students, when they participate successfully, will gain experience, reputation and also a certificate and a stipend from Google.
Our value will be the progress, bringing LibreCAD 3 to a new level and hopefully attract the participants to stay longer with us and become a regular contributor.

This year we try a new approach and created a common platform under the name OpenCAx for cross-cutting concerns. We use the OpenCAx term for quite some time, but now it becomes more clearer.
Beside the information from Google at https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ we have additional content for students at https://opencax.github.io/.
Project ideas are listed under https://github.com/opencax/GSoC/issues and especially for LibreCAD one can filter by project.

If you are a student who is eligible for the program, have some C++ skills and prefer coding over selling burgers, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
Or you know one who might be interested, let him know about this great chance.
Look out for Armin (LordOfBikes) or Florian (Feragon) on our community chat channels IRC #librecad or Zulip or reply to any project idea.

GUI update

2015-09-15T18:23:39Z

These changes are only available in the Nightly builds from the master branch.

There is more work to be done but this update has several advantages:

- avoids going in and out of categories constantly
- users can decide what tools are exposed and where
- allows for user defined custom icon sizes
- easier for developers to understand / modify

The old CAD toolbar was a remnant of QCad, and it was limiting development.

There is a lot of redundancy with all the new toolbars and dockwidgets;
but the idea is to let people try and see what works for them,
and to allow for an understanding of the basic Qt widgets.
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/mainwindow.html
Tell us what you will use and if you have ideas for improvement.

Clearing old settings

Some of your old settings might be in conflict with the new user interface.
There is a new option to clear the layout settings:
Options -> Application Preferences
and under the "Defaults" tab press the "Layout" button
and then restart LibreCAD.
This will allow you to see the new default layout of the GUI.
It's a work in progress... so submit screen shots of your custom layout:
http://forum.librecad.org/requesting-screenshots-td5712432.html

Custom Toolbars and Menus

https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/wiki/Widgets

The new sidebar

The sidebar is made of dockwidgets.
Checkout the following video to understand how they can be arranged.
https://youtu.be/-wnRZCFr2ds
I might add an option for the number of columns.

Toolbars

If the sidebar dockwidgets take up too much space for you,
then you can use the "Categories" toolbar instead.

There is also individual toolbars for each category.

Custom icon size

You can now select a custom icon size in application preferences.
The toolbar icons will update after you press "Ok";
however, you will need to restart LibreCAD for the sidebar icons to update.

2.0.9 released

2016-01-09T09:11:11Z

Happy new year! LibreCAD 2.0.9 released

This is mostly a bug fixing release.

Fixed a few crashes due to undo and deleted entities;

Rallaz fixed quite many issues in dxf and DWG support.

If you are using spline/splinepoints, you may find some improvement in 2.0.9, as spline mirroring is fixed, and there is some cleanup for spline property editors, thanks to jaise for identifying this bug.

If you use the feature "Draw -> Line -> Rectangle", please note a polyline is drawn instead of 4 separate lines.

There are lots of fixes on hatching issues as well: most notably, hatch preview works again!

Various polyline issues are also fixed: bevel/fillet, equidistant, and some minor cleanup.

Jerry worked on several issues with command auto-completion and supported commands.

There are lots of language support improvements: fonts and translation. Thanks a lot to our friends!

GSoC 2016!

2016-03-01T09:08:01Z

We are participating again under the umbrella of BRL-CAD. Big thanks to Sean for handling the organization application part.

For our LibreCAD side, there are many great ideas accumulated over the years, and we do expect still better ideas from perspective students.

For students interested in working at areas immediately beneficial to lots of end users, especially for those interested in doing geometry and algebra on computers, it's the time for introducing yourself and working hard towards your proposal.

2.0.8 released!

2015-08-24T17:56:12Z

It has been 8 months since 2.0.7, and LibreCAD v2 has become better.

Exciting New Features:

1. DWG read support! Big thanks to our CAD expert Rallaz ;
2. SVG export support! Salute to dinkel ;
3. Arabic Language GUI support. More work is needed for:
* Right-to-left support for Text entities;
* Arabic fonts for Text.
4. More user configurable settings in App Preferences.

Under the hood, there's lots of cleanup and coding style tweaking towards C++11, and the code base should be cleaner for new developers.

There is also lots of GUI and user experience tweaking, mostly following user requests. Clearly, LibreCAD needs help from more developers with the large volume of feature requests and bug reports from our user community.

2.0.7 released

2015-01-07T09:25:02Z

LibreCAD 2.0.7 missed the Christmas party and new year eve, but only by days.

First, major fixes: a serious command line regression since 2.0.6: keyboard Enter/Esc support, command line widget in a second screen, etc. Also fixed are some crashes for tangential circle drawing and polyline addition.

LibreCAD 2.0.7 got a boost on LFF font support with kindly help from:

Petr on Czech fonts in unicode.lff
stranger573 on OpenGost
AZO on Japanese fonts kst32b.lff

As a new command line feature introduced in 2.0.7, the command line can be used as a calculator by typing math expression after command "cal". For example command "cal 1+1" to get output "2"

There are many fixes and enhancement, and please refer the git logs for more details.

2.0.0rc3 released

2013-11-24T17:34:07Z

In the last release candidate of our next major stable release 2.0.0, we fixed several critical CAD engine bugs related to arc and ellipse classes, and we also improved packaging for both OS/X and Windows.

While the current OS/X installers are more stable compared with our previous releases, we encourage OS/X users/developers to help the stabilization process by testing and reporting issues/patches to our bug trackars or user forums.

Thanks to contributions from our large user community, LibreCAD-2.0.0rc3 supports 46 localizations in 25 languages.

We will start 2.1 forking soon with the formal release of 2.0.0. and interested developers may start sharing their ideas and pull requests by then. Please join us to make LibreCAD better!

The 2.0.0rc3 installers for Windows and OS/X can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/librecad/files/
