Release of 0.18

Edit: that's why I was wondering about tag as immutable "point"

Yes, you should consider them as such. BTW, there's now a 0.18.1 tag which contains several bugfixes.

Maybe we should have a new thread about this?

I just noticed new Win installers in the 0.18.1 release tag. Are those considered final? They don't have the correct hash, they're named FreeCAD-0.18.16110.7dccfa-WIN-x64-installer.exe but the commit is f7dccfa.

Thanks for the heads up. I will fix this shortly.

Not sure if it's been pointed out yet but exporting to OBJ (Wavefront) seems to be broken as of version 0.18.16110, whereas it worked in 0.18.15938.

Please post a link to the topic discussing it, if one exists, if not please create one in the Help forum and link it here and in that post include exact instructions, a demo file and most importantly your Help About FreeCAD in the manner shown in the forum rules link above the help forum.

I updated the installers and the SHA files. Should I update the wiki links or wait for the home page?
Is it better to continue the discussion here or at NormandC's link?

Awesome!! I think we're ready to announce officially, right?
Yeah, please update the wiki, I'll do the homepage next

The osx-bundle is still not very useable. Most likely we would need to update qt to 5.6.3 or newer. Maybe this should be added to the release notes.
