The link is fixed. The problem is that the packagers are making changes, updating installers and moving them, and they are not reporting here.

Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
I've just updated the PPA for the 0.18 stable builds.
Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
I understand that this release supports both Python2 and Python3, but I am having trouble getting it to work with Python 3. Could someone please clarify whether the same package should work with both 2 and 3 (surprise me) or should I be looking for a separate package on the PPA. If there is a separate package then a pointer to find it would be nice (Ubuntu). If it's not there yet just tell me to be patient.
Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
It depends on your Ubuntu version. Please refer to this thread for a better clarification on this.PaulG wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 8:02 pm I understand that this release supports both Python2 and Python3, but I am having trouble getting it to work with Python 3.

The software is split into common packages, and packages specific to your Python version. Remove everything, then install only these packagesPaulG wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 8:02 pm I understand that this release supports both Python2 and Python3, but I am having trouble getting it to work with Python 3.

Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
There is no need to remove existing packages, unless the update failed somehow. freecad-python2 and libfreecad-python2-0.18 can cohabit with their Py3 counterpart. I think it's still useful to keep both.

Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
The link seems to be broken again for me.
Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
Mac OS download link is still broken.
There is also no file located here:
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases
I'm eager to give it a try. Anyone know where I can get the Mac file?

Re: Status of FreeCAD 0.18 Release
Hi TimCC, welcome to the forum. You should try the latest 0.19.16540 or newer. Up to that version we had rather frequent crashes.
