So I've been following FreeCAD since it started. Even tried to get my head around the code base at one point, but the hacking guide was mostly nonexistent in those days, so I moved on to projects that did not skip that very important step.

Just to put a stake in the ground, when did FreeCAD start? When did 3.0 come out, along with the announced end-of-life date for 2.7?
