A Little History

LibreCAD started off as a project to develop CAM capabilities into the neighborhood model of QCad for use with a Mechmate CNC router. Due to the fact QCad CE was created all-around the out-of-date Qt3 library, it had to be ported to Qt4 before added enhancements. This gave rise to CADuntu. The task was recognized as CADuntu only for a pair of months prior to the group resolved that the title was inappropriate. Just after some discussion in the community and exploration on present names, CADuntu was renamed to LibreCAD.

Porting the rendering motor to Qt4 proved to be a large endeavor, so LibreCAD in the beginning still depended on the Qt3 support library. The Qt4 porting was done eventually for the duration of the progress of 2.. sequence, thanks to our grasp developer Rallaz, and LibreCAD has turn out to be Qt3 absolutely free besides in the 1.. collection. Meanwhile, for LibreCAD 2.2. collection, Qt5 is necessary.
