		<description><![CDATA[Following features are planned for LibreCAD-2.0.0: better spline and Bezier curve support; complete conic section support after adding of hyperbola and parabola entities; draw a circle/ellipse tangential to two selected circles/ellipses. With these terrific features, LibreCAD is expected to work as a general geometry tool even for users who are not in the CAD field, while those features are extremely useful for CAD users as well. Due to complexity of those exciting features, we call on interested developers to join our development team to further develop this lightweight and feature rich free software. 2.0.0_alpha3 is expected in next one or two weeks with many bug fixes since 2.0.0_alpha2. fparser has been removed from LibreCAD. From now on, LibreCAD depends on muParser ( http://muparser.sourceforge.net/ ). If you find a bug in LibreCAD, or simply want LibreCAD to do more, please talk to us on #librecad at freenode or file a feature&#160;<a href="http://blog.librecad.org/2012/04/more-new-features-planned-for-librecad-2-0-0/">Read more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok I admit, I shamelessly copied the title from this excellent article http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/whats-up-with-dwg-adoption-in-free-software If you are interested why we don&#8217;t have DWG support in LibreCAD, then the article is a perfect read for you. Alexandro did very deep research on the subject and wrote the article, thumbs up! Now go and read that article!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of you might have noticed, but we released our first version of LibreCAD. I would have never expected that the QCad fork would have come this far when I startednthe project last year, but I am very happy to see that people picking iup the project, using it and give us feedback on what they like and don&#8217;t like about LibreCAD. LibreCAD 1.0.0 is mostly a fork of the old QCAD codebase but with some changes that solves some licencing issue, some parches we found on the &#8216;net&#8217; and bugfixes so it will work and compile without problems on at least Linux, OSX and windows machines, both 32 and 64 bit. So, what&#8217;s next? We want maintain 1.0.0 anyless absolutly necesary, because LibreCAD 2.0.0 is already on it&#8217;s way packing with loads of new features, internal changes and ironing out more smaller and bigger items.

		<description><![CDATA[Some simple hack to allow using CJK(Chinese-Japanese-Korean) font support. Since the file size of complete CJK fonts is almost 80MB, I only added a 7-zipped font file to the folder: support/fonts : https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/blob/master/support/fonts/wqy-cjk.lff.7z To use this font file, you will have to unzip it to generate the wqy-cjk.lff file. To unzip it in Linux: 7z e path/to/wqy-cjk.lff.7z and add the file to LibreCAD font folder. For example, in my Archlinux, sudo cp path/to/wqy-cjk.lff to /usr/share/librecad/fonts/ The font handling efficiency still needs more work. Nonetheless, users should be able to use CJK fonts in LibreCAD from now on. We would like to thank the WenQuanYi project for the good font quality and support for free software. If you find a bug in LibreCAD, or simply want LibreCAD to do more, please file a feature request/bug report at our sourceforge trackers: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=342582 The LibreCAD team &#160; PS: The font file is renamed&#160;<a href="http://blog.librecad.org/2011/11/complete-cjk-font-support-in-librecad/">Read more...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2.0.0 series (the master branch on github.com) of LibreCAD uses a new snap system which is designed to be more efficient in use. For example, snap by middle points is extended to multiple equidistant points on entities. Using this new feature, trisecting an angle is now possible, albeit in LibreCAD. To demonstrate this new interesting feature, 6 trisecting lines of a triangle are drawn, and Morley&#8217;s trisector theorem says the deep blue triangle formed is an equilateral triangle.
