From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As much as we're delighted to present you this new version, we are also sad to announce that our friend and prolific FreeCAD developer bgbsww has passed away a few weeks before this release came out. He was one of the main architects of the topological naming fixing effort, wrote a lot of additional code and tests, and became FreeCAD's TNP specialist. He also helped virtually all other developers out to adapt to the new algorithm. This release is dedicated to him.
