FreeCAD outdated versions in bookworm

[BOGENPARADIES Richard]

Dear package maintainers,

first I like to thank you for the terrific job you do. Debian evolved to 
such a great system!
I myself am using UNIX since 1982 and LINUX since its beginning, so I 
know what I am talking about.

To make it even better and draw more people to it, I think it is 
importand to make good and free end user applications available, which 
would be very expensive otherwise.

FreeCAD is certainly a package able to attract new users.

Bookworm contains FreeCAD in version 0.20.2, so does trixie and sid. 
This version of FreeCAD is somewhat handicaped, especially for newcomers 
which do not know the workarounds.

There is a version 0.21.1 of FreeCAD available at 
https://www.freecad.org/downloads.php , which works alot better and is 
at least as stable as version 0.20.0

The AppImage 
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/download/0.21.1/FreeCAD_0.21.1-Linux-x86_64.AppImage 
works just perfect on a normal PC with Debian bookworm and also the 
default configuration of this AppImage is outstanding. (To try, just 
download, make it executable and start it)

I suggest to implement version 0.21.1 into Debian, at least into trixie 
and sid, and into bookworm-backports. Better into bookworm itself, 
because, as I said, the functionality evolved quite a bit and it is as 
stable as the existing version.

I would do it myself, but I sadly do not know nothing about packaging.

Sincerely, Richard
