Softpedia is proud to introduce LibreCAD 1.0, a new and free open source personal CAD application designed to run on multiple platforms, such as Linux, Mac OS and Windows.

Initially named CADuntu, it rapidly changed its name to LibreCAD, the first one being based on QCad CE, which in turn was based on the Qt3 library.

The LibreCAD developers wanted something new and they ported LibreCAD to the Qt4 library, but retaining some of the former dependencies.

LibreCAD 1.0 is available in over 20 languages and for all major operating system, including all kinds of Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, openSUSE and so on.

The software can be used for free, either at home or for commercial purposes as it has no annual fees or licensing costs.

You can download LibreCAD 1.0.0 right now from Softpedia. A development version is also available, 2.0.0 Alpha 1, which is based solely on Qt4.
