After more than 20 years of development, the 1.0 release marks a major milestone for the FreeCAD project.

With a strong focus on stability, usability, and long-requested core features, FreeCAD is now more powerful, flexible, extensible, and robust than ever before.

Robust Solid Modeling

Nota

FreeCAD now tracks how individual sub-elements (faces, edges, vertices) evolve through modeling operations by building a history map that records whether elements were modified, generated, or deleted. This allows stable references to be maintained even as the underlying topology changes.

  • The mitigation algorithm to the long-standing topological naming problem has finally been merged
  • Models now better survive edits without randomly breaking dependencies
  • Parametric workflows and complex design iterations are far more predictable, resilient, and effective

            found = true;
            for (int j = 1; j <= newM.Extent();
                 j++) {  // one old object might create several new ones!
                if (newM(j).IsPartner(it.Value())) {
                    shapeMap[i - 1].push_back(j - 1);
                    break;

// Find all new objects generated from old object (e.g. face generated from edge)
        for (it.Initialize(mkShape.Generated(oldM(i))); it.More(); it.Next()) {
            found = true;

                    break;

// Find all old objects that don't exist anymore (e.g. face completely cut away)
        if (!found) {
            if (mkShape.IsDeleted(oldM(i))) {
                shapeMap[i - 1] = std::vector<int>();
