KiCad 4.0.7 Stable Release
2017-08-28
The KiCad project is proud to announce the latest stable
release of KiCad. The 4.0.7 stable version contains critical
bug fixes and other minor improvements since the last
release. It also includes improved footprint, symbol, and 3D
model libraries, translations, and documentation. The stable
release version 4.0.7 is made from the stable 4.0 branch with
bug fixes cherry picked from the development branch of
KiCad. KiCad binaries are available or will be available in
the near future for download for Windows, OSX and Linux, see
the download page for guidance.

KiCad 4.0.6 Stable Release
2017-03-07
The KiCad project is proud to announce the latest stable
release of KiCad. The 4.0.6 stable version contains critical
bug fixes and other minor improvements since the last
release. One other notable change was the replacement of the
Avhttp library with the libcurl library when building the
GitHub plugin. This should allow Linux distributions that are
not compatible with the OpenSSL library license to distribute
KiCad with the GitHub plugin enabled.

Major changes:
New graphics rendering backend GAL (OpenGL and Cairo) [currently pcbnew
only and does not yet support all legacy tools]
New s-expression based pcb format (.kicad_pcb)
New footprint library format (.pretty folder with .kicad_mod footprints)
Updated footprint editor (only usable with GAL renderer)
More advanced footprint manager concept called footprint library
table (fp-lib-table)
Ability to download footprints on the fly from git repositories
Official libraries are now stored on github and regularly updated
Awesome/Advanced Push and Shove (PnS) router (only usable with GAL renderer)
Interactive differential trace routing and tuning
Interactive trace length tuning
Much more realistic 3D board rendering
Intelligent library search with preview in Eeschema
Initial Python api for Pcbnew
Notes:
Symbols have changed size, been renamed, etc to follow the new KiCad library
conventions so you need to take care when working with older schematics if
you used the symbols packaged with KiCad.
The new pcb format cannot be loaded in older versions of KiCad.
Sources are available only from bzr (no release) so I made a snapshot
of the source tree and put it on a http server.
This package is based on the package in wip by jonathan.gabris@gmail.com
Kicad is an open source (GPL) software for the creation of electronic schematic
diagrams and printed circuit board artwork.
Designed and written by Jean-Pierre Charras, a researcher at LIS (Laboratoire
des Images et des Signaux) and a teacher in IUT de Saint Martin d'Heres
(France), in the field of electrical engineering and image processing.
Kicad is a set of four softwares and a project manager:
* Eeschema: Schematic entry.
* Pcbnew: Board editor.
* Gerbview: GERBER viewer (photoplotter documents).
* Cvpcb: footprint selector for components used in the circuit design.
* Kicad: project manager.
