FreeCAD 1.1.3

Choose a tag to compare

@chennes chennes released this 25 Jul 04:53
145529f

FreeCAD 1.1.3 is a maintenance release in the 1.1.x series. It includes several security fixes addressing code-execution and other file-handling vulnerabilities that can be triggered by opening a maliciously crafted FCStd file. All previously-released versions are affected by one or more of these issues, so we strongly recommend that all users upgrade, especially anyone who opens FreeCAD files from untrusted or unknown sources.

What happened to 1.1.2?

Shortly after the release of 1.1.2 we discovered that a bugfix that had been intended for inclusion in the next release had been inadvertently omitted. It is not a security bug, so if you've already installed 1.1.2 there is no urgent need to update to 1.1.3, though the bug is an annoyance (repeated warnings of a version update when saving a file) so you will likely want to upgrade sooner rather than later.

How to download

The assets section below is automatically populated as the builds complete: if you don't see a download for your system, please be patient, the builds can take several hours to complete. Windows and macOS builds are signed by The FreeCAD project association AISBL.
