I'm not against the revision numbers. It's always been like that and it is immediately clear where to sort them, and they did no harm.
"I use 0.17.xxxx, how many commits is the stable 0.18 away?" or vice versa "I have a stable version, how far has the new version proceeded?"

Since we're not backporting many commits, we should at lease add a changelog explaining why these minor releases are happening?
We're pointing people to the Known Issues thread but that is pretty static. I think adding bullet point or each commit makes sense.

Sounds OK to me. I took a quick look and it doesn't' look like any Qt Assistant related patches made in. Something for the future then.

Good to hear that.

P.S. And i guess deploying to latest is working! ;)

Awesome. 1 suggestion, can we have the changelog precede the download information ?

## Known Issues
There are several known issues for different platforms. Please read the [current up to date list in the FreeCAD forum](https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=30573).

## Linux
[AppImages](https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Appimage) (no compiling necessary) are available (a kind of binary that can run on many Linux distros). Download the highest revision of the .AppImage

### AppImage (delta) updates
For more streamlined downloading of AppImages [download](https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageUpdate/releases) AppImageUpdate (GUI or the command line version). To perform an update:

```bash
# Using GUI
chmod +x ./AppImageUpdate.AppImage
./AppImageUpdate.AppImage ./FreeCAD.AppImage
# Command line
chmod +x ./appimageupdatetool.AppImage
./appimageupdatetool.AppImage ./FreeCAD.AppImage
```

## MacOSX
Binary builds (no compiling necessary) coming soon. Download the highest revision of the .dmg
NOTE: For OSX it is recommended to use the 0.19_dev builds. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.19_pre
FreeCAD 0.19.x has been ported to QT5.9 and QTWebEngine which solves some OSX specific issues.

## Windows 
Installers Coming Soon.
The Win x64 installer uses Conda as a package manager, The binaries use PY3.6, QT5, and VS2015+
The Win x32 installer uses Libpack 11.11. The binaries use PY2.7, QT4, and VS2013

The portable build does not require an installation. Extract the file using [7zip](https://www.7-zip.org/) and start the application by double clicking on FreeCAD.exe in the bin sub-directory of the extracted package.

I don't think I can give access, but if you edit the markdown I posted above I can do it.

I'd need to fiddle with it to make sure.
