Hey guys,
I just realized we surpassed last week (on July 9th) the most users ever online at the same time: 71! Previous record of 55 users was still holding since 2012 when the forum was on Sourceforge!
I don't think I'm stretching the facts too much in assuming this means FreeCAD is gaining in popularity!
V0.14 brought the forum more trafic!

Re: V0.14 brought the forum more trafic!
Used to be a time when the number of Windows downloads per day was always around 1,000.
Over the last three days the downloads for 0.14 have been over 3,000, 2,500 and 2,000 so obviously a peak but will be interesting to see where it settles down.

A few days ago I saw on the evening news TV broadcast that a handful of Home Depot stores will sell Makerbot 3D printers.normandc wrote:I don't think I'm stretching the facts too much in assuming this means FreeCAD is gaining in popularity!
(For those people outside the United States, I'll mention that Home Depot is a huge national home improvement chain of stores; each store is as big as a warehouse.) As 3D printing becomes more easily available to the masses more and more people will be looking for ways to create models of the things they want to print. As the 3D printing community grows more people will realize that FreeCAD is a great way to create those models.

Its nice to have an official release 0.14
So now EVERYBODY can use all the new nice features since 0.13.
Still one question to the maintainers
will there be precompiled bug fix releases on top of 0.14.3700 for windows 32 and 64 bit?
(So I would bury my compiler in the garden)

I wouldn't count too much on that. But if we manage to do releases more frequently (ideally each 3 months) this might not be such a big problem anymore.microelly2 wrote:will there be precompiled bug fix releases on top of 0.14.3700 for windows 32 and 64 bit?

Food for thought post here.

I posted about it today at lunch too here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 40#p161025
As rockn reported, the previous record was from June 6th, 2016 which had seen 111 people online at the same time.
The jump from 111 to 232 (more than twice!) in 7 months is very impressive and makes me believe FreeCAD is becoming more and more popular.
