FreeCAD 1.1 finally came out. I've been toying with it this afternoon and save some minor theme issues on Linux, it appears to run nice and it has a lot of nice quality of life improvements.

@apzpins I used to have a client that was a civil engineer. He loved Linux but couldn't go to it because he required AutoCAD. He looked into FreeCAD a number of times (this was decades ago) and said it was nice but just didn't have everything he needed. It's nice to know they're still developing and making it better!
@jordan It still has its quirks, but for someone who designs basic parts for 3D printing and cnc'ing, it does its job fine and it has been getting noticeably better in the 5 years I've used it.
