Hi. The script automatically checks for new versions once a day, at 13:00 UTC. If you see a new version in the FreeCad repository, please wait for this time before setting the package out-of-date flag. Thanks you.

Hey, I just wanted to tell you that the sha256 hash of the appimage is wrong. Thanks for mainting the package :)

@fermino Hi! I don't see the need to add "epoch". I'll just update the version to 1.2.0. And as soon as 1.3.x or 1.2.x is released, you will write to me and I will correct it again.)) Thank you!

Hey :)

The change in 945ff3865efa broke the versioning scheme. It will work again whenever anything >1.1.0 is released (whether it is 1.2 or 1.1.1), but in the meantime it's broken.

I think it should be enough reason to bump the epoch [1].

Nice! Thank you so much again! :-)

@Smoerrebroed fixed!

Thank you for the quick turnaround. It seems like users with AUR helpers have to manually install the package with the new versioning scheme now. Did so by removing the previous package release, purging it from its cache and then reinstalling.

Building the package, however, I got

unable to remove 'squashfs-root/usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache'.

Apparently that file isn't part of the AppImage, so I commented out the line from PKGBUILD. Then it built and installed smoothly. :-)

Thanks again!

Hi! I have fixed the script for the new versioning system. The version now contains the date. The script will run once a day, at 13:00 UTC. Please check.

Wouldn't it make sense to align package versioning with the releases' versioning? It would make it easier to understand which version will be installed by the package, i. e. today that should be 2025.09.12.
