Description Morgan Leijström 2019-01-03 00:22:20 CET

Kicad have improved massively, and mga7 should be released with 5.x

Currently at 5.0.2; http://kicad-pcb.org/blog/2018/12/KiCad-5.0.2-Release/

A backport to mga6 would also be nice.

Optimally if 5.1 is released mga7 could carry it - depending on development struggles as we all know...  https://forum.kicad.info/t/it-seems-5-1-might-come-quite-soon-goal-is-to-have-the-release-by-fosdem-2019/13162

Comment 2 Juergen Harms 2019-01-03 18:57:31 CET

I agree. In fact, I have ported several of my schemas and layouts from Geda (pcb) to Kicad. Decision not based on a judgment of the quality of the of the user value of the respective cad products, but rather on release policy and responsiveness of package maintenance to technical progress.

> I will do some testing in  production conditions

I abandoned - I have not used kikad for quite some time, and did not realize that with the new library stucture I need to heavily invest in updating my private component libraries - which I cannot do right now.

Sorry for the unkept promise.
