Danke für die Antwort

ist das nicht gerade einfach zu verstehen.....

überhaupt sinnvoll ?

He was complaining that English is hard to understand when you get older. How ironic.
I am a refugee from Fusion 360. Switched over to FreeCAD and am spreading the word. After years of very little progress I switched again to another solution. I wish you all the best!

I used chocolatry to install 0.19 and was really happy with the results, it runs way better than the manual download and install. No idea why tho :roll:
Now I thought, yeah I can just update it using chocholatry but that didn't work out, looks like the url isn't working!

Hi Kunda1,
I can do that but I have a Question about the new Development of the FreeCAD 0.19 builds. It seems to appear that the latest builds are combination builds. Meaning that they will have both x86 and x64 builds. If this is correct I will need to update the scripts for this new development.

Thanks in advance.

They are still just 64 bit builds x86_64 is equal to amd64 on the PPA i.e. not arm bulds. The naming is consistent with the other os's on the release page.
