so the version check isn't actually necessary at this point. Just pretend
to be 5.5.0 and install those bindings.
While here, install icons and avoid installing .gitignore files.

KiCad 5.1.2 Release
2019-04-26
The KiCad project is proud to announce the latest series 5 stable release of KiCad. The 5.1.2 stable version contains critical bug fixes and other minor improvements since the 5.1.0 release. It also includes improved footprint, symbol, and 3D model libraries, translations, and documentation. A list of all of the fixed bugs since the 5.1.0 release can be found on the KiCad 5.1.2 milestone page. This release contains several critical bug fixes so please consider upgrading as soon as possible.
KiCad 5.1.0 Release
2019-03-14
The KiCad project is proud to announce the release of version
5.1.0. This is the first ever minor version release of KiCad and was
developed primarily to resolve compatibility issues with Linux GTK3
and long awaited support for python3.
In addition to the primary focus, there have been many important
changes that make this release a substantial improvement over the 5.0
series and a worthwhile upgrade for users on all platforms. Included
in the improvements are:
- Improved 3D model library path configuration.
- Cairo canvas is now used for printing support on all platforms.
- Schematic and symbol library editors now use the modern canvases for
rendering.
- Symbol pin table is now editable.
- Pcbnew scripting support for Python 3 has been added.
- Snapping for graphical object drawing in board and footprint editors.
- Significant user interface improvements.
- Major dialog box improvements.
- Both the footprint and symbol library editors now share the same
user interface paradigm with a library tree view pane.
- Symbol, footprint, and 3D model library improvements.
- Documentation and translation improvements.
- Less pain for Linux package maintainers, now all features should be
easy to support.
Additionally, files created by KiCad version 5.1 remain 100%
compatible with files created by version 5.0.
Of course no new stable version of KiCad would be complete without
many, many bug fixes so please consider upgrading as soon as
possible. This version will be the only supported version of KiCad
moving forward. There will be no further releases of the 5.0 series.
Version 5.1.0 is built from the source code in the lp:kicad/5.1
branch.
KiCad binaries will be available for download for Windows, MacOS, and
Linux are available or will be in the very near future. See the KiCad
download page for guidance.
Thank you to all developers, packagers, librarians, document writers,
translators, and everyone else who helped make this release
possible. We hope you enjoy the latest release of KiCad.

Warning
Please note that a last minute bug was found in the Eagle schematic
import feature too late to be fixed in this release which is expected
to be fixed in release 5.0.2. If you need to convert Eagle schematics
you may want to hold off upgrading until 5.0.2.
KiCad 5 - A New Generation
2018-07-22
Almost a year after the release of KiCad 4.0.7, the KiCad development
team is proud to present a new and improved KiCad 5.0 release!
The stable release version 5.0.0 is made from the stable 5.0 branch.
KiCad binaries should be available now or in the very near future for
download for Windows, macOS and Linux. See the download page for
guidance.
http://kicad-pcb.org/post/release-5.0.0/
pkglint -Wall -r -F cad
Manually fixed the indentation in cad/ghdl/Makefile because SITES.* was
(by the current definition) not long enough to count as an outlier line,
and because of this, all other lines were aligned to that line.
3.3.100 20mar19 FSDB fix for variable declarations of array of reals.
Added Real, Time, Enum, and Popcnt flags to Edit/Show-Change.
Ensure Show-Change regenerates analog traces.
Added braces inside Tcl source command to allow spaces in
filenames for Tcl scripts.
3.3.99 09feb19 Added visible single bit glitches as a yellow dot (if enabled
with --rcvar 'vcd_preserve_glitches on').
Fixed print routine broken by bsearch_trunc() optimization in
version 3.3.96.
Verilator is the fastest free Verilog HDL simulator, and outperforms
most commercial simulators. Verilator compiles synthesizable
SystemVerilog (generally not test-bench code), plus some SystemVerilog
and Synthesis assertions into single- or multithreaded C++ or
SystemC code. Verilator is designed for large projects where fast
simulation performance is of primary concern, and is especially
well suited to generate executable models of CPUs for embedded
software design teams.
3.3.94 03sep18 Applied ghwlib.c patch for dealing with null ranges.
Added second chance algorithm for find_dumpfile() in case
it fails.
3.3.95 07oct18 Added fflush on stdout for help text as fix for possible
stdout problem with mingw/msys shells.
Added preliminary support for Time datatype.
Warnings fixes for Verilator integration.
Fixed install_proc_filter usage for Tcl invocation.
Change integer type to "integer" in SST to differentiate it
from sv ints.
Premiminary support for enum tables embedded in FST files.
3.3.96 15nov18 Changed to standardized zoom in/out/full hotkeys.
Added time backtracking warning (for partial mode) to lxt2vcd.
VCD time backtracking fix (not for interactive mode).
Added drag_failed handling (can press ESC) to DnD operations.
Prevent missing file in savefile from causing savefile to be
read as VCD by mistake.
Changed to Dinotrace-like 0s/1s rendering for bit vectors so
values can be discerned without seeing the full value text.
Removed unneeded pango_layout_get_extents() inside call for
font_engine_draw_string().
Changed bsearch_trunc() to run in constant time when monospace
fonts are in use.
Added missing GDK_SCROLL_MASK to signal area (need for gtk3,
but not for other versions for some reason).
3.3.97 23nov18 Need to set menu_wlist entry NULL on gtk_widget_destroy().
Fix on vtype()/vtype2() to detect 'x' and make the coloration
red on newly-displayed traces. (Bug new from Dinotrace-like
rendering in 3.3.96.)
3.0.11:
- [FIX] Repair Environment.exit() to support PEP-479 and Python 3.7.
- [FIX] Fix wrong usage_since calculation in preemptions
- [NEW] Add "Time and Scheduling" section to docs
- [CHANGE] Move Interrupt from events to exceptions
- [FIX] Various minor documentation improvements
