Very good. I have no possibility to build new testing release right now.
I'll do it
later as soon as possible (it's really interesting to me).

I have to check it. GOST has special remarks concerning A4 and A5 page
sizes. A4 must allways
be portrait and A5 allways landscape. But A5 is not implemented in Kicad
and has limited use in
GOST. However, A5 is very good choice for DIY hobbyists like me :).
Fortunately, there is an user size.

Alexander.
