FET 6.3.3 is now available for download here.

Rather than posting an update here every time the new version is released, from the next release onwards I'll just post a reply to Liviu's post in the News and Announcements Forum. (If you want to receive a notification when FET is updated, you can choose to receive emails when a new item is posted in that forum.)

Thank you all. Do you have any plan to update ubuntu package?

Here: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man1/fet-cl.1.html

Thanks for your great efforts.

You are welcome!

On the Tools/Links page of FET ( https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/toolslinks.html ) there is the Ubuntu link: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=fet . They updated for the latest Ubuntu, lunar, to FET-6.7.6 (the before the last FET version).

Unfortunately, I cannot coordinate a FET package for Ubuntu. I did my best and provided the GNU/Linux universal executables, as AppImage and AppDir, in the Download section of the FET page.

Good day all and happy new year, I have downloaded FET for Mac for the first time. Is there any new documentation I should refer to? I notice that to open a file I have a choice of the mode (official, mornings-afternoons, block planning and terms, I haven't seen this before. Thanks for your time.

Hello! Happy New Year!

If you used the official FET in the past, you can use FET 6 with the Official mode.

No really new documentation, but more like updated, for the Official mode.

Many new nice features.

Hello, does anyone have an older compiled version compatible with MacOS 10.13? I have tried to compile my own version but I am unable to do it, I am not very good with computers.

Liviu Lalescu · May 06, 2023, 12:21:22 PM

Hello,

I have FET-5.49.1 for macOS on my hard disk, but I think it is also not compatible with your system (see https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/forum/index.php?msg=29747). And anyway I recommend you to use the newest FET, which is much better.

I think you need to use the old Qt 5.15 on macOS 10.13, to compile FET.

Buongiorno sono Anna Moscatelli sono stata incaricata quest'anno di fare orario per la mia scuola primaria, vorrei scaricare FET ma io ho macOS 10.12.6 e la versione per MAC mi richiede l'11 e non so come fare per poter utilizzare il programma potete aiutarmi?

Liviu Lalescu · June 14, 2023, 04:34:12 PM

Buongiorno, Anna Moscatelli,

Unfortunately, you need to compile FET with the old Qt 5.15 on your platform. There is some advice in the README file of FET.

Or maybe try to use the Windows executable with Qt 5.15 with a Windows emulator for your macOS.

Hello. Is it possible to make "older versions" of FET for MacOS available for download?
I'd need the last (compiled) version compatible with MacOS 10.14.

Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi, I downloaded FET 6.9.3 for macOS but when I try to open it, it says the file is damaged and cannot be opened. I checked the SHA-256 and it's correct. No problem with version 6.9.2

Darren McDonald · July 29, 2023, 02:30:35 PM

Hi ayreon, you're right, there's an error in the FET-6.9.3 zip file. I'm afraid I'm not able to fix this at the moment, so I've reverted the links on my site to point back to the version 6.9.2 file. Check back next week and hopefully I'll have updated files available then!
