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 Oxygen?

Oxygen 6.2 is final: AI agents can now build and manage Oxygen sites over MCP.

Oxygen is a WordPress site builder from the same team as Breakdance. Version 6.2 left beta on October 26 with an MCP server, so AI agents can build and manage sites through prompts. 6.2.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. Before the final release came Beta 9 and RC 1 in September, alongside fixes for WordPress 7.1 in the Gutenberg add-on and WooCommerce 11 in Oxygen Classic.

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.

6.3

Oxygen 6.2 is final: AI agents can now build and manage Oxygen sites over MCP.

◆ Current state

Oxygen is a WordPress site builder from the same team as Breakdance. Version 6.2 left beta on October 26 with an MCP server, so AI agents can build and manage sites through prompts. 6.2.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. Before the final release came Beta 9 and RC 1 in September, alongside fixes for WordPress 7.1 in the Gutenberg add-on and WooCommerce 11 in Oxygen Classic.

◆ Where it's heading

Oxygen and Breakdance shipped the same agent capability on the same day, so the vendor is betting both builders on agents. The legacy Classic and Gutenberg products still get compatibility releases.

◆ Prediction

Expect 6.2.x patches for the MCP server and WooCommerce edge cases; what comes after agent control is unclear from the entries.
