I have just bought and will be installing QCAD. I have tried it once in the Trial Version but you don't really get a chance to use it properly there, so to QCAD I'm a complete Newby. I have however successsfully used LibreCAD and decided on QCAD due to the Text Limitations there. My requirements are largely electrical and single line drawings so 2D is good for my needs. I could not find an elctrical forum so will use the others and perhaps the Deutch too.
Question: I downloaded two versions QCAD qcad-3.26.4.13-pro-win64-installer.msi; qcad-3.27.8-pro-win64-installer.msi
What is the difference? As a Newby which should I use?
Thanks in advance

Re: QCAD Versions
Thanks, so from the Change Log, it looks like no concept of "Stable Version" in QCAD developement
Re: [solved] QCAD Versions
"Stable Version" means running stable on all platforms.
That doesn't mean bug-free.

Re: [solved] QCAD Versions
Could that mean that V 3.26.4.13 is likely to be more "bug free" than the current version?
Re: [solved] QCAD Versions
3.26.4.13 was downloaded from the "Snapshots" folder of your download page. Please read the "Information about Snapshots", also on your download page:
The current stable release is 3.27.8, that's the one you should use.Snapshots
Snapshots are packages with the current development version of QCAD. Snapshots should be considered unstable and are not intended for production use.
