I am a new user (dabbled in it from 018.4), I began using it in earnest for commercial work at the beginning of 2022. (I'm a retired engineer ex SolidWorks, ex Inventor, ex Micro CADAM, ex CADAM and more, but now I do limited mechanical design work for a few customers who have no CAD capability of their own)

0.20 is welcome, and I have been using it since it was released.

I'd like to take the opportunity to thank those who develop FreeCAD. My only contribution so far has been monetary (and I will continue that!), but I am hoping that I'll be able to contribute directly to the product at some point.

Again, my thanks to the devs for 0.20 and a product that works. Some of us can't justify a "big-boy" product, FreeCad fills the void. Speaking as a longtime CAD user, FreeCAD has an incredible amount of potential. Solve the TNP, settle on a single assembly workbench, upgrade the TechDraw capabilities a little and (as the saying goes) you've got a dog that hunts.

I'm grateful for what we've got, optimistic about it's future, and hoping that eventually I'll be able to contribute more.

Thanks
Kevin

Brilliantly and concisely put: TNP and single assembly will draw in absolutely massive crowds.

Hate to be the person that asks this, but any vague idea on when 1.0 will come out?

Thanks for all the hard work!

The answer to questions like this are typically "it's done when it's done"

That being said, I think FreeCAD generally averages 18 months or so between releases. TNP being a major implementation, I'd expect at least that long or more.

Okay, so about 2024 for TNP.

I talked to realthunder recently and he's getting ready to send patches for review very soon. Because Toponaming is such a beast of complexity, hopefully by the end of 2022 or beginning of 2023.

Nice one, that's great news. Fingers crossed as ever! :-)
