LibreCAD 2.0.7 missed the Christmas party and new year eve, but only by days.
First, major fixes: a serious command line regression since 2.0.6: keyboard Enter/Esc support, command line widget in a second screen, etc. Also fixed are some crashes for tangential circle drawing and polyline addition.

OSX user’s unfortunately need to use macports to install LibreCAD. We are still short on OSX developers and we cannot seem to get the installed and it’s functionalities stable. We are terribly sorry about that. However, once you installed macports you can installed LibreCAD using
sudo port install librecad
Any brew user’s/dev’s reading this? We would love to also support brew and would highly appreciate if somebody can help us out with brew.
LibreCAD 2.0.7 got a boost on LFF font support with kindly help from:
- Petr on Czech fonts in unicode.lff
- stranger573 on OpenGost
- AZO on Japanese fonts kst32b.lff
As a new command line feature introduced in 2.0.7, the command line can be used as a calculator by typing math expression after command “cal”. For example command “cal 1+1” to get output “2”
There are many fixes and enhancement, and please refer the git logs for more details.

Good news,
It would be nice to have direct link to tarball with sources for 2.0.7.
I downloaded sources from git yesterday, but they doesn’t compile.
the error is:
/TMP/SBo/LibreCAD-20150112/librecad/src/lib/math/rs_math.cpp:302: undefined reference to `mu::ParserBase::DefineConst(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits, std::allocator > const&, double)’
/TMP/SBo/LibreCAD-20150112/librecad/src/lib/math/rs_math.cpp:303: undefined reference to `mu::ParserBase::SetExpr(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits, std::allocator > const&)’
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Do I miss something?
May be I have seen the answer somewhere else, but this was a muparser update/install isn’t it?
Ries
I found the solution – I installed newer version of muParser and now LibreCAD compiled with success.
Hi guys!
How to install or just download the new version of LibreCAD? All I can get for my Ubuntu is 2.0.4. There is no 2.0.7 version neither in Ubuntu repos nor in the librecad ppa stable. The newest version there is still 2.0.4.
So, how can I get the latest release, please?
For Ubuntu we need to wait until it’s in PPA, usually that goes relative fast be we don’t fully control this process.
Fortunately, building on Ubuntu is relative painless.
Where are the linux builds?
Historically we don’t provide Linux build and we leave that up to the distro’s to take care of building this.
If you want latest on Linux and you cannot wait for your disto to provide you a version then you need to compile this yourself.
We have this page : http://librecad.org/cms/home/from-source/linux.html which isn’t always up to date, but also take a look at the supplied readme.
We also hangout on the #LibreCAD IRC channel on freenode.
Congratulations, the next version will have dwg support?
Thanks.
No,
unfortunately we cannot support DWG directly with this version of LibreCAD. You have to use a converter, for example http://www.opendesign.com/guestfiles/teighafileconverter
Hi,
where can I find complete list of commands?
Do you plan to add help pages to librecad?

Hi,
What I should say after installing LibreCAD 2.0.2 from Ubuntu app store is that ‘I am loving it!’. I am an electrical engineer and was looking for open source platform for tools and it’s development for engineering application.
I have started using it for creating various blocks as electrical symbol library and with use of own created bocks the efforts can greatly be reduced to create design drawings.
Please let me know how can I upgrade to 2.0.7.
Thanks to LibreCAD!
Regards,
Om
It says that OS X users need to install macports and install LibreCAD from the Terminal, however, when I go to the OS X link to sourceforge it downloads the dmg file and it runs just fine. Is there something I’m missing here?
Also, can someone explain the differences between 2.0.7, 2.0.7.1, and 2.0.7-Mavericks?
Ryan,
in the past we have had issue with compiling LibreCAD and running this reliably on the various versions of OS/X. Running LibreCAD using macport’s is very reliable because it’s a compiled version of libraries that are known to work.
2.0.7-Mavericks Is just a version compiled with flags for Mavericks.
