This is the official 0.16 release of FreeCAD for Windows and Mac OS platforms. Linux users are advised to get FreeCAD from their distribution's repository, or from our PPA if using Ubuntu. There is also a build for Debian Jessie on OBS

The .AppImage is new and should work on most modern 64 bit Linux distributions. Download the file and make it executable. It's self contained and should be portable. As this package is new PLEASE report all bugs, comments, issues, or concerns to the dedicated forum topic http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=15525
