Re: Is there a timeframe till the stable release will be announced

 

Thanks Wayne and Adam for the update

A friendly reminder once again that the packagers must now point to

Footprint - https://github.com/kicad/kicad-footprints
Symbols - https://github.com/kicad/kicad-symbols
Models - https://github.com/kicad/kicad-packages3d
Templates - https://github.com/kicad/kicad-templates

The footprint and symbol repos will maintain their own lib-table files.
These are checked by Travis CI so they will always stay in sync.

Further, please do not package the 3D models with KiCad by default. We have
now surpassed 2Gig of model files :)

Thanks,
Oliver
