Full Changelog: weekly-2026.01.07...weekly-2026.01.14

This is the second complete build of FreeCAD 1.1, representing the past year of work of nearly 300 developers, over 100 translators, and hundreds of documentation writers, testers, bug submitters, and other team members. We're almost to the finish line: now we need to test the release system (and of course catch any last-minute blocking bugs!). Please give these installers and images a test run and help us put the final polish on our next release. Thanks for everything you do!!

Please note that the Windows installer is self-signed: we are working to integrate a real signing key into our automated build workflow, and the final release will be signed. Assets are building now and will upload as they are ready.

Changes since last RC: 1.1rc1...1.1rc2

NOTE: rc2 is being rebuilt due to #26713, assets may take a few hours to be available again
