What's new in LibreCAD 2.2.0.2

Jul 30, 2023
  • Fixes minor issues:
  • An undetected vulnerability, opening malformed LFF font files caused a crash
  • Format issues in bundled fonts
  • A regression, finding nearest points on ellipses caused a crash

New in LibreCAD 2.2.0.1 (Jul 9, 2023)

  • This is a bugfix release for official stable release 2.2.0.
  • It fixes a minor vulnerability (CVE-2023-30259) with a mature shapelib contained in our codebase.
  • The vulnerability addresses only the plugin Importshp, which is used to import shape files (SHP/SHX/DBF).
  • Shape files are used in surveying and so do not affect the most users.
  • As this is probably not a widely used plugin, the fix was just to remove the plugin.
  • If you are a surveyor and need the shape file support, it is safe to stay with 2.2.0 version, as long as you know the origin of the used shape files.
  • The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read, what means, if a malformed shape file is imported, the application can crash.
  • With some efforts an attacker possibly can create a shape file, which can lead to unintended code execution and seize your computer.
  • But this is a worst case scenario, which I would rate as extremely low to occur.

New in LibreCAD 2.2.0 (Dec 19, 2022)

  • Many causes of crashes have been eliminated
  • Eliminated DWG issues in libdxfrw, which caused several crashes
  • The performance of panning and zooming in large files has been significantly improved
  • The undo/redo engine has been completely revised due to several problems
  • Adjustments for new compiler and Qt versions were required

  • Improvement of the print preview, with tiled printing and line widths adjustment
  • Multiple selection and bulk actions in block and layer lists

New in LibreCAD 2.2.0 RC 3 (Nov 29, 2021)

New in LibreCAD 2.2.0 RC 2 (Dec 31, 2020)

  • More than 280 commits since 2.2.0-rc1 and too much delay, but here it is, the next big step to final 2.2.0 release.
