Package: freecad
Version: 0.16.6712+dfsg1-1
Severity: wishlist

Upstream plans to release 0.17 soon™, probably 2018Q1.

There are a lot of new features, mainly the Part Design and a
new workbench "TechDraw", replacing "Drawing" in the long run.

It would be nice to have this in experimental soon, even
before the official release.

I assume, that both #882761 (ITP: opencascade -- Open CASCADE
Technology is a suite for 3D surface and solid modeling) and
#877871 (RFP: pyside2 -- Python bindings for Qt5) need to be
solved first.

Kurt, I see you busy on OpenCascade. Are you working on
PySide 2, as well? That would be awesome!
