About LibreCAD
LibreCAD's October 2.2.1.6 patch is its first real release since May.
Most LibreCAD entries are automated master-build markers, release-candidate re-cuts and a pinned download post. Real releases are 2.2.1.x patches every few months: 2.2.1.4 in March, 2.2.1.5 in May with a translation overhaul, and 2.2.1.6 on October 17 with backported features and fixes for drawing integrity.
