Big #FreeCAD news!
[Feature freeze for FreeCAD 1.0 is now on](https://blog.freecad.org/2024/06/04/feature-freeze-for-freecad-1-0-is-now-on/ ). If you have held back from trying development builds, please consider running weekly development builds starting this week and filing clear bug reports. [The **draft** release notes for the upcoming 1.0 release](https://wiki.freecad.org/Release_notes_1.0 ) may give you ideas what to expect and look for, but also lots of testing has been focused on explicitly new behavior, so just using the new version for general use (of course saving early and often!) is likely to uncover a few stray problems here and there that would be great to fix before the big 1.0. 😁
I'm not one of the FreeCAD developers (my sole code contribution so far has been fixing a tooltip typo, and I've contributed to a couple Workbench extensions), but if you, like me, were previously scared off by the "no bug reports not first discussed in the forum" rule, that rule is **gone.** FreeCAD now take normal GitHub bug reports and even have someone dedicated to triage. Bug reporting for FreeCAD is now a good experience!
