It took more than 20 years, but the FreeCAD computer-aided design project
has just made
its 1.0 release.

Since the very beginnings, the FreeCAD community had a clear view
of what 1.0 represented for us. What we wanted in it. FreeCAD
matured over the years, and that list narrowed down to just two
major remaining pieces: fixing the toponaming problem, and having a
built-in assembly module.

Well, I’m very proud to say those two issues are now solved.
