The first release candidate of FreeCAD 1.0 is out

We've just published builds of the first release candidate for
FreeCAD 1.0. You can download them here.

So far, we've enjoyed the contributions of users who are happy to
be living on the edge with our weekly builds and reporting
whatever bugs they run into. That really helped us make the
proverbial edge less edgy.

The intention behind making release candidates is to give them
into the hands of a different demographic -- users who usually
stay away from unstable software yet are happy enough to try very
nearly complete software and report issues they come across.

We are currently down to just 7 release blockers, but we expect
that the release candidates will bump that number up a tad, and
that's a good thing. While we desperately want 1.0 out,
delivering a really stable release is a big deal for us.

So please download the RC1, try it on a real project if you can,
give it some really hard time if you must, and report any bugs you
see to our issue tracker.

If you are a developer who is interested in contributing to the
effort, come look at the list of reports, pick an issue that seems
trivial to resolve, write a fix, and submit a pull request. We have
weekly merge meetings on Mondays to go through the queue of
currently open pull requests. You are welcome to join!

    I've not been this excited about a software release since
    Windows 98.

    I have already started using the RC1 version, and thank you all
    very much for your efforts in developing such a great solution
    for 3D parametric models.
