**Changes since last weekly:** https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/compare/weekly-2026.07.29...weekly-2026.08.05

Note that the "experimental" Windows builds use more recent versions of the dependencies than the normal builds: in particular, right now they build against OpenCASCADE 8.0.0p1. Not for the faint of heart!

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](https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/95519fed42c46953c6fc19691542358281bb297a) 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.
