Librecad 1.0.07/13/2023 Unfortunately, we don’t have new documentation but we are working on to organize this as a new project within LibreCAD. LibreCAD is still backwards compatible with QCad’s original CXF fonts, so in case you created your own CXF fonts you can still use them, from now on all LibreCAD fonts are releases as GPLv2 or higher. So with 1.0.0-rc4 we have removed all fonts and docs from qCAD and have created our own font format called LFF, this was done by one of the developers, Rallaz, who did an awesome job here. I personally strongly believe I was in my right to use the qCAD docs and fonts because no exception was made in the open source CE download section of the Ribbonsoft site and no exception was made in any of the license files and readme within the tarball, therefore, I just included it, I am not a lawyer so, there we go… We included the qCAD fonts and docs previously, because Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, openSuse and many other distributions and QCad forms have (had?) that included. Apparently the fonts and documentation were not released as GPLv2 and we were asked to remove that from our distribution. Remember, LibreCAD is a free and very complete 2D Computer aided design software, and it is written LibreCAD, not Libre CAD.Today we have released 1.0.0-rc4 of LibeCAD, no we didn’t skip rc3 but at that moment we got a message from Ribbonsoft that we are not allowed to include the fonts and documentation into LibreCAD.

The Qt4 porting was completed eventually during the development of 2.0.0 series, thanks to our master developer Rallaz, and LibreCAD has become Qt3 free except in the 1.0.0 series. Porting the rendering engine to Qt4 proved to be a large task, so LibreCAD initially still depended on the Qt3 support library. After some discussion within the community and research on existing names, CADuntu was renamed to LibreCAD. The project was known as CADuntu only for a couple of months before the community decided that the name was inappropriate. Since QCad CE was built around the outdated Qt3 library, it had to be ported to Qt4 before additional enhancements. LibreCAD started as a project to build CAM capabilities into the community version of QCad for use with a Mechmate CNC router. It's available in over 30 languages with cross-platform support for macOS, Windows, and Linux. No worries about trials, subscriptions, license costs or annual fees.ĭeveloped by an experienced team and supported by an awesome community, LibreCAD is also free to hack and copy. LibreCAD is a feature-packed and mature 2D-CAD application with some really great advantages: There is a large base of satisfied LibreCAD users worldwide, and it is available in more than 20 languages and for all major operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. LibreCAD is a fully comprehensive 2D CAD application that you can download and install for free.
