Hello!

First of all, I'd like to thank the contributors of CQ-editor, it is really a great project!

As a new user of CQ-editor, the main indications I see when looking into installing the software is:

  • the recommended method is via pre-built packages, and
  • there's a stable release

If I install the stable release and try to follow the Cad query examples, I'll soon realize that the stable package ships with a version of CadQuery (2.1) that doesn´t support a lot of major features (sketches and assemblies just to mention the first two that come to mind).

This point was already raised in other issues - see #274 , #306, #395 - but all the issues are a few months old at least

So the questions would be: should pre-built packages still be the recommended way to install CQ-editor?

  • If so, can a new stable release be delivered?
  • If not, I propose that the readme be updated to reflect that pre-built package are not the recommended way to install CQ-editor, and instead recommend Conda/Mamba. In this second case I'll open a PR for the update.

Try this instead: https://github.com/CadQuery/CQ-editor#development-packages. Even if there is a release, no pyinstaller packages will be produced (see #395).

I did update the readme for clarity.
