- Rebase App::Origin on App::DocumentObject - Keep all control over the Origin structure inside the Origin and it's ViewProvider - Add OriginFeature class as common base for App::Plane and App::Line - Rebase App::Plane and App::Line on top of newly created class and move to the file. - Change Origin's ViewProvider API associated with temporary display - Lots of associated changes to files - Several minor fixes - Lots of new bugs
FreeCAD
FreeCAD is a general purpose feature-based, parametric 3D modeler for CAD, MCAD, CAx, CAE and PLM, aimed directly at mechanical engineering and product design but also fits a wider range of uses in engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties. It is 100% Open Source (LGPL2+ license) and extremely modular, allowing for very advanced extension and customization.
FreeCAD is based on OpenCasCade, a powerful geometry kernel, features an Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model provided by the Coin 3D library, and a broad Python API. The interface is built with Qt. FreeCAD runs exactly the same way on Windows, Mac OSX, BSD and Linux platforms.

Compiling
Compiling FreeCAD requires installation of several libraries and their development files such as OpenCasCADe, Coin and Qt, listed in the pages below. Once this is done, FreeCAD can be simply compiled with cMake. On Windows, these libraries are bundled and offered by the FreeCAD team in a convenience package, on Linux they are usually found in your distribution's repositories and on Mac OSX and other platforms you will usually need to compile them yourself.
The pages below contain up-to-date build instructions:
