What is 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.

What is Carrd?

Carrd Analytics adds a 90-day view; the changelog stays small and steady.

Carrd's visible record is short, terse entries. Deleted sites land in a Trash folder for three days, or fourteen on Pro, signup forms post directly to Resend, and Prefill Reply-To now fills the sender's name. November added a Leaves background pattern and a Last 90 days period in Carrd Analytics.

LibreCAD vs Carrd: editorial side-by-side

L
LibreCAD
DESIGN
2.5

LibreCAD's October 2.2.1.6 patch is its first real release since May.

◆ Current state

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.

◆ Where it's heading

The stable 2.2.1 series is in maintenance, with backports from master arriving every few months. Development on master continues without a dated next minor in the feed.

◆ Prediction

Further 2.2.1.x patches are the likeliest releases; a new minor is not signalled in the feed.

5.0

Carrd Analytics adds a 90-day view; the changelog stays small and steady.

◆ Current state

Carrd's visible record is short, terse entries. Deleted sites land in a Trash folder for three days, or fourteen on Pro, signup forms post directly to Resend, and Prefill Reply-To now fills the sender's name. November added a Leaves background pattern and a Last 90 days period in Carrd Analytics.

◆ Where it's heading

The cadence is small polish on a mature builder: forms, dashboard conveniences and design assets. Nothing in the entries points to a structural change.

◆ Prediction

More small additions to forms and design patterns are the likely next entries; the changelog is too sparse to predict anything larger.
