Can't download Mac version

Post by BenW »

When I click on the Official Installer for Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks 64-bit, I get a 404 missing page error. Is the link corrupted?

Yup, there was a back-ported bug fix so the link got broken. Thanks for reporting!

Thanks. That link works.
Just so you know, the link on the official download page is still broken.

The broken link is on this page:
http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/?title=Download
The Mac OS X link in the Stable Installers section.

No bookmark needed. The page needed to edit is a template used in the page. When editing the Install on Mac page, there's a header titled "Templates used on this page:", it's collapsible.

You just have to click on the (edit) link besides Template:DownloadMacStable.
