Request: new stable release - or clarify recommended installation method #425

Closed DoppioT closed 8 months ago

Hello!

First of all, I'd like to thank the contributors of CQ-editor, it is really a great project!

As a new user of CQ-editor, the main indications I see when looking into installing the software is:

If I install the stable release and try to follow the Cad query examples, I'll soon realize that the stable package ships with a version of CadQuery (2.1) that doesn´t support a lot of major features (sketches and assemblies just to mention the first two that come to mind).

This point was already raised in other issues - see #274 , #306, #395 - but all the issues are a few months old at least

So the questions would be: should pre-built packages still be the recommended way to install CQ-editor?

Try this instead: https://github.com/CadQuery/CQ-editor#development-packages. Even if there is a release, no pyinstaller packages will be produced (see #395).

I did update the readme for clarity.

Thanks! That solves the issue for me.
