Re: v5 timeline

 

Only kicad-committers should be able to do this.  When I get a chance I
check the launchpad permissions.  Please remove it when you get a
chance.  I do not want users thinking this is an official rc1 candidate.
 It is not.  The symbol library table, stitching via, and revised
connection algorithm are all part of v5 rc1.

Thanks,

Wayne
