linking a specific past dev version

Post by emills2 »

Is it possible to link a specific a specific version that has appeared on https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases?

The page says
@sgrogan sgrogan released this on Apr 9, 2016 · 3433 commits to master since this release
but the file links give builds for 0.17.10101 from feb 15, 2017

I have a set of tools that work on 0.17.9528, so i was wondering if there is a way to link to that directly. that way i could put a link in my tutorials and it will be possible for someone to get a functional setup.

there is nothing special about 0.17.9528 i just wish to have a setup where people can download a FreeCAD binary, download my workbench, and have the two be at the same version.

Ideally, i would just use the stable release, but i need some functionality from 0.17

Thanks!

I don't archive the developer builds, but it's easy enough to build a specific version. If you know the git hash (from About FreeCAD info) it will save me some leg work. Do you need x86 and x64?

@sgrogan. thank you for offering, but i ended up fixing my tools. This is the better way, i just need to keep up with the dev branch :)

anyways, i still have my own copy for x64. I was asking in case they were archived some place i couldn't see them. I'll Start making it a habit to start my FreeCAD session by checking for new releases!

Thanks again.
