Binaries for FreeCAD 0.18.2 for Windows.

[RogerioChG]

I'm Rogerio, user of the freecad. Develop 3D drawings for mechanical designs for hydraulic equipment. I'm not a programmer. I also do not know where to ask this favor, so I'll post here and correct me if I'm wrong. Used the operating system windows 10 pro version 18.09 and for some unknown reason FreeCAD works much better on my computer when compiled with Libpack 11.11 Python 2.7 and Qt4. I use the portable version. Is it possible to get this message to a programmer to compile version 0.18.2 with this version of libraries, python and qt? I'm waiting for some help there. I have a little programming notion, very basic indeed, but if someone is willing to help me compile my own FreeCAD in these features as another alternative is also valid.

Hey @RogerioChG
Welcome to the FreeCAD forum. Please in the future always post your Help About FreeCAD "Copy to clipboard..."

We've been seeing reports of users complaining about speed issues between Qt4 and Qt5. I can't find the forum threads ATM but this is becoming a 'Known Issue'.

Hello RogerioChG! Welcome to FreeCAD and the forum
In the short term you can use 0.19_pre https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele ... g/0.19_pre
I think we are close to a 0.18.3 backport release, so I will try to provide a QT4/PY2/VS2013 portable build. Be aware that PY2 and QT4 are reaching EOL so I don't know how long these builds will continue.

I haven't experienced PY3/QT5/VS2015+ run time performance issues, but I've seen it at build time.

Sgrogan, thanks for the feedback and help.

Okay, thanks for the feedback.

It wouldn't have helped here, because Rogerio asked for a FreeCAD version he actually doesn't have ...
