@yorik Thank you for that excellent article, Yorik. I think, at least this year, you will feel like you've had two birthdays.
And thank you for your continued efforts and enthusiasm for FreeCAD. I started using it at version 0.13 so I know how much it has changed over the years.
Version 1.0 will be epic and silence that "FreeCAD is fundamentally broken!" claim from a certain corner. 😉
