Hi guys.
Can anyone give me an idea of the limitations of FreeCAD V20?
I know both V19 and V20 are still in development stage but V19 has several issues I am finding ( or not ).
I.E. cannot get to macros with addon manager, is this likely to be included in either a later V19 version or is it available V20?
Are the spec's for the later versions documented with the short comings as well as the new options, if so where is the place to find them.
I am considering uninstalling V19 and re installing V18 if it is still available as I could even go back to my V16 designs and there would be no deformation in V18.
I still think that FreeCAD is terrific piece of software and its hat's off to the programmers and developers for all their hard work.

Technically 0.19 development has ceased except for some back ports.I know both V19 and V20 are still in development stage but V19 has several issues I am finding ( or not ).
This was a known issue in 0.19, I don't know if it was ever completely eliminated.I.E. cannot get to macros with addon manager, is this likely to be included in either a later V19 version or is it available V20?
It works fine in 0.20 here on Debian 10/11, Ubuntu, and Manjaro for me.
See the link above for whatever info is currently available.Are the spec's for the later versions documented with the short comings as well as the new options, if so where is the place to find them.
IMO, this is never an option. So much has been improved and fixed, for me, it would feel like giving up my phaser for stone knives and bear skins.I am considering uninstalling V19 and re installing V18 if it is still available as I could even go back to my V16 designs and there would be no deformation in V18.
And, any FreeCAD file you saved n recent versions of 0.19 are probably no longer viable in 0.18 or older.
I have been using 0.20 almost exclusively since it was introduced early in 2021.
Agreed.I still think that FreeCAD is terrific piece of software and its hat's off to the programmers and developers for all their hard work.

For seeing all addons you may have to install gitpython.

Re: Limitation of FC V20
The missing macros thing is a certificate issue, rolling back to an earlier version won't help you there: but remember that you can always install macros by hand, by downloading them directly off the wiki. The 0.19.3 release should be out in a few days' time, packagers are working on it now. So I'd wait to see if that ends up working well for you.
Re: Limitation of FC V20
Thank you all for your inputs.
I tried access the macros via Wiki but kept getting a message saying Wiki was having problems.
I will wait a while longer before updating again.
I cannot begin to imagine the amount of work that goes into creating and updating FreeCAD and its successive versions.
I have the greatest respect and admiration for the programmers and the brains behind it all.

Maybe reading:

Will help, you are asking for some generic informations, that are even "platform related".
Some cosmetics about title "Limitation of FreeCAD" may seem more a "bug report" than a "question".
"Accessing Macro with Wiki", sound somewhat strange, what are you trying to achieve?
Maybe download some macro, as alternative to the "addon Manager"?
