This is the second release candidate for FreeCAD 26.3.
It carries the fixes made since RC1, including the blockers reported by people who tested it. Thank you to everyone who filed a report in the past week: that is exactly what the release candidates are for, and it worked.
Changes since RC1: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/compare/26.3rc1...26.3rc2
Testing is still wanted. If you tested RC1, please check that what you reported is actually fixed here, and that nothing near it broke. If you have not tested yet, this is the better build to start with.
- Report anything new and not yet reported (please search first): https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues
- Regressions against 1.1 remain the most valuable reports. If something worked in 1.1 and does not work here, say so explicitly.
- Translators: the user interface is frozen, so the strings in Crowdin are the ones that will ship.
Still open blockers for 26.3: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Blocker%22
If you are a developer and want to help, pick an issue from that list or any other bug report, write a fix, and open a pull request against main, or build and test open PRs carrying the 26.3 milestone. Patches are discussed at the weekly merge meetings on Mondays: https://www.freecad.org/events.php
If you want to help review PRs, follow the order in https://github.com/orgs/FreeCAD/projects/40/views/11
📋 What is new in 26.3: https://wiki.freecad.org/Release_notes_26.3
Some defaults and behaviours changed, so it is worth reading the release notes before opening older documents with this build. Please do not use a release candidate for production work, and keep backups of anything you open with it.
🦾 If you want to help the community make data-driven decisions about FreeCAD changes, install the optional Telemetry addon from the Addon Manager.
Weekly development builds are published alongside these and appear above this release in the list as 27.1.0-dev, so make sure you are testing this tag and not a weekly.
