I will now fill the Wiki, website etc. bit by bit.

Sorry in advance for my inconvenience and my lack of understanding, I saw (from the released links) that to update on Linux is using AppImage. However in my case, which I use Ubuntu Budgie, I installed it using the command:

Code: Select all

$ sudo snap install freecad

With that, what guidance is given to those who made the update?

I have built Debian 11 packages for my own convenience and also to be ready for Topological Naming merge (which is the main reason I appreciate 0.20 release as a starting point ). I'll upload them somewhere eventually, but: what is preferred OCCT version to build with? For now 7.5.1 is used as it is a part of bullseye, but I noticed a few bugs being fixed meantime. Shall 7.6.2 be build preferrably?

As soon there is a snap package available, the release notes will be updated.

For the commands, you can take the instructions from the beta1 release:

This is first be done when we have builds for all OSes available. Then I will also make a full announcement.

7.6.2 is the preferred version

As soon there is a snap package available, the release notes will be updated.

0.20 stable snap is now available, usually snaps update automatically so nothing to do really but if not, snap refresh should do the job
