Where do I download development snapshot releases?

Post by nicod » Sat Jan 10, 2026 11:32 am

Where do I download the QT6 version? I have a QCAD Proc license but the download link only shows the official released versions.
The release announcement of 3.32.5.1 points to https://qcad.org/customer-area but I do not see any info about development releases there.

Hi,

The info presented in the link is general information to install/update QCAD for licencees.

To evaluate a snapshot release:
Go to your personal download area and scroll down to below 'All Downloads'.
If there is a current snapshot then it will be listed there.
Select a suitable installation package from those that are listed.

Note that snapshots are not mentioned in the Changelog.
Also note that it are development snapshot releases. Snapshot releases are not intended for production use.

Regards,
CVH

The link I received to my download area only shows this:

I don't see 'All Downloads'?

Hi,

The link you are using is probably no longer hosted by "SendOwl" (Prior to April 2025)
Verify that in the start of the address (Don't share the personal link in public :!: )
Otherwise you must dig in your e-mail cache, spam folder or whatever.

If it is not listed, it is not available ...
As a simple QCAD user I can help you no further ...
... Please contact the developer Andrew per direct.

Or send him a Private Message, click on his user name and take it from there.
Or send an email to: [email protected]
Or wait for an reply from Andrew on this post. :wink:

Regards,
CVH

FYI: I just renewed support for my pro license and the new link shows a completely different page with access to the snapshots. Woohoo!

I think that this is still an issue to report to Andrew.
A licence includes one year of access to your download page with updates.
It should not be required to renew your licence prior to one year to be able to access the latest releases.

Thanks for supporting QCAD.

Also thanks for the screen capture.
I have linked it to a post of another user ChrisCAD that has a different opinion about the RibbonSoft licence policy. :wink:

CVH
