1.1.3Latest

FreeCAD 1.1.3

Changed 1
  • Use __ModDirs__ as the authoritative list of mods to load from
Fixed 18
  • Fix projection direction of hidden geometry in TechDraw_ArchView
  • Fix double-click visibility behavior of views in Views Manager
  • Let setupTitleBar replace existing title bar to avoid need to first remove any existing
  • Fix HiDPI support and font scaling in CAM tool widgets
  • Preserve local overlay depth for dimensions and grid in Sketcher
  • Fix highlight selection for compsolid pop-up tool in FEM
Security 1
  • Fix code-execution and file-handling vulnerabilities triggered by opening maliciously crafted FCStd files

From FreeCAD

FreeCAD 1.1.3 is a maintenance release in the 1.1.x series. It includes several security fixes addressing code-execution and other file-handling vulnerabilities that can be triggered by opening a maliciously crafted FCStd file. All previously-released versions are affected by one or more of these issues, so we strongly recommend that all users upgrade, especially anyone who opens FreeCAD files from untrusted or unknown sources.

What happened to 1.1.2?

Shortly after the release of 1.1.2 we discovered that a bugfix that had been intended for inclusion in the next release had been inadvertently omitted. It is not a security bug, so if you've already installed 1.1.2 there is no urgent need to update to 1.1.3, though the bug is an annoyance (repeated warnings of a version update when saving a file) so you will likely want to upgrade sooner rather than later.

How to download

The assets section below is automatically populated as the builds complete: if you don't see a download for your system, please be patient, the builds can take several hours to complete. Windows and macOS builds are signed by The FreeCAD project association AISBL.
