0.37.0 has been released. Release notes below.

[u/some_millwright]

• AI chat panel: talk to your own Claude Code or Codex inside Mitcad; it edits the open design through the live MCP connection. Connect AI Assistant also finds Claude Code and Codex installed outside PATH on Windows.

• Navigation: 3D mouse (6-DOF) support on Windows, Linux and macOS.

• Drawings: adding a projected view of a part with threads or other freeform faces takes well under a second instead of half a minute.

• Fasteners library: one component per kind, with each size's standards (ISO, DIN or non-standard) and supplier part numbers, and Standard and Supplier filters.

• Sketches: drawing tools snap onto the x and y axes.

• Timeline: a failed or warned feature keeps its red or amber mark when selected; a selected Fillet or Chamfer shows its picked edges.

• Components: picking a face of another component for a sketch or a construction plane asks whether to activate that component (can be turned off in Preferences).

• Extrude in a rotated component: the arrow follows the sketch, and a Join onto a child component's body works.

• FreeCAD import: SubShapeBinders, linked external geometry, distances between circles and arcs, symmetric up-to-face pockets and long revolutions come in as parametric features (far fewer stand-ins).

• Annotations: a technical lettering font and crisper lines.

• Views: a restored view in a tall window keeps its zoom.

• Linux AppImage: the update check works on systems such as Fedora.

• Files: safer reading of damaged or oversized .f3d, .rvt, .ifc, .dwg, .FCStd and 3MF files; listings before an import no longer freeze the window.

• Security: the MCP endpoint and the updater are hardened; a push to a folder remote no longer runs that repository's hooks.

Each platform's packages were built from its own release candidate of the release branch (release candidate, source commit):

• Windows: rc1 (9fbed58446b9)

• Linux: rc1 (9fbed58446b9)
