Afternoon, gang.
Following recent discussion in the other FreeCAD thread:-
...I've realised that, although I've had this built as a portable for at least a coupla years, I've never in fact offered this one to the community. So I'm going to rectify that now.
Trying out the in-app updater last night, it successfully did its thing. After years in "beta", we are now - at LONG last! - at v1.0.0. I've also re-built it using the xdg-tweak trick MochiMoppel introduced me to a couple of years back, so no more "sym-linking gymnastics" as Mochi himself put it. And the final truly humungous 940 MB "beta" AppImages have been put on a strict diet......they're now at a relatively svelte 670 MB (!!) 
But it works so amazingly well, we can forgive the "stoutness" (I think).
===========================
Usual stuff applies:-
Download
Unzip
Move the portable directory anywhere you like. However, with summat as hefty as this, I would very definitely recommend this goes outside the 'save'......for obvious reasons!
Click to enter
Click 'LAUNCH' to fire it up
The usual scripts permit adding or removing a Menu entry from wherever you've located it. Please peruse the 'MenuReadMe' file if wishing to re-locate the portable directory.
Y'all can find it at my Google Drive, here:-

Enjoy!
