Big news from Bricsys today: Bricscad for Linux just went from Alpha to Beta status. The 10.4.4 release is available for testing here. A banner with download link is now on Bricsys' English homepage (the other languages pages have not been updated yet). The move to beta means it is possible to file support requests to report bugs.

Some things to note with this release:

  • Printing is now available
  • Improved Debian/Ubuntu install package: it now support 64-bit architecture
  • The .tgz archive was corrected as well
  • The 'Help' command now opens the online help in an external browser
  • Some issues still remain; Bricsys recommends that beta-testers should regularly check the Release Notes page for an updated list of known issues.

It's been clear for some time that the "early Q2 final release" announced back in February wouldn't be met. With this move to beta, I think we may be looking at a final release by end of summer (which is what was told an eager customer by a French vendor, a short while ago).

Update: according to Bricsys' press release, the first commercial version is to be released at the end of June 2010. Thanks to "Visitor" (who left a comment) for pointing that out.
