Great!

Congratualtions and thanks to LC team

When ppa will be updated?

I believe it's an automated service.
I emailed the maintainer for you.

Release 2.1.0 sounds great, so I would like to try it out.  I am currently using

LibreCAD
Version: master
SCM Revision: 2.0.9
Compiler: GNU GCC 5.3.1
Qt Version: 5.5.1
Compiled on: Mar 24 2016

However, I have spent a couple of hours this evening just trying, in vain, to download it

The ubuntu software thingy did not help; it only seems to offer the option to un-install my existing LibreCAd.

I clicked on one link that I thought might lead to the “Download” page, but that looked like a Windows version.  There was a link to another download underneath that one, but no explanation of what that download was all about.

I looked on the LibreCAD Ubuntu Installation web-page, but I haven’t a clue what “sudo” is all about.  Do I have to download just one file, or librecad, librecad-data and librecad-doc?

I see there is an announcement in the sub-forum “Anouncements”, but surely this is going to go un-noticed by most LibreCAD users.  In addition, that anouncement tells us that 2.1.0 has been “released”, but there are no instructions for how to download, install, or upgrade an existing version.

Any chance of some non-technical, step-by-step, instructions for those like me, who are not computer-literate?

Maybe someone else can provide more detail if you need it.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:librecad-dev/librecad-daily

Note I don't have any experience with that system.

I'm not sure if this is the "official" ubuntu package or not.

Maybe someone can request an update.

I've been told the following PPA is kept up to date:
https://launchpad.net/~alex-p/+archive/ubuntu/notesalexp-trusty

Note it has various packages not relevant to LibreCAD,
and I can't personally vouch for the owner.

Thanks maqifrnswa.

For those that don't know,
that means the daily ppa is updating again.

Thanks also from me for heaving that working again!

maqifrnswa,
Is there a way we can contact you?

I requested membership in librecad-dev group on Launchpad long time ago to get involved and support PPA maintenance.
But still no response. Are there any reasons for this?

Congratulations, this is a great release. The new menu navigation is simpler now, and the “recent tools” context menu is just amazing. Together with the menu creator, this release added so many ways to speed up daily usage. Thanks guys!

Thanks luko; I really appreciate the feedback!
