Back port commits to 0.18 branch

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.18.4
I hope to fill it out by next weekend.

Heads up, the 0.18.4 revision number should be 16145 not 16131

We need to disable the auto deploy for conda based builds based on looo's post above.

I didn't mean to not create 0.18.4 builds which are hopefully uploaded soon.

It's good that we're ironing out all these details and getting better at releases.
where's our checklist for such things?

For example on my end:
manuall update the script that updates(*) the AppImage page which is actually updating 2 wiki templates:

• https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Templat ... or-Version
• https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Template:Stable-Version

And also submitting a PR to FreeCAD-Homepage
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Home ... b701266046

* The script only tracks the development version not stable.

My attempt to build 0.18.4 didn't succeed because of conda-build 3.18 introduced a slow-down during a library checking process and circle-ci stops the build because of "Too long with no output (exceeded 10m0s)".

I will trigger the builds again once a new conda-build version is available.

edit.: After doing some modification to the build-scripts I was able to force conda using a conda-build-version other than 3.18.10. So 0.18.4 builds are uploaded and should be used for the next appimage/dmg.

0.18.16146?

As much as I love juggling these 5-digit numbers I can't wait until we get them out of our release version numbers and back to referring to development builds only.

Struggling with the weekly builds nearly every week, I didn't expect the old recipe to work out of the box...

Anyway osx is seeing brew-issues again. So this might need some time to be solved. (Last time we saw such errors it somehow got sorted by itself.)

Hmm, I think it shouldn't be too difficult to change this. But I do not really feel responsible for this part and changing this might break other stuff too. So I guess it's best to ask @triplus or @kunda to make this change.

The stable builds shouldn't have revision numbers, IMO.
So I'm for removing them. Downstream package managers will adapt as well.
