Hi Wayne,

Great news!

I have one suggestion for a currently-un-milestoned bug that I'd (partly
selfishly) really like to see fixed for v5:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1518694

This is the one where you can't shift posture when routing to a pad in the
PNS router. It's certainly not a critical bug, and can be worked around by
routing "backwards". However, if it's an easy fix (I'm trying to find it,
but I don't know anything about the router code, so I have so far only
managed to add a ton of trace and confuse myself), it would be shame IMO to
leave it in for release. It's something that pretty much all users of the
PNS router would run into almost as soon as they try to use it. If it's a
harder fix or introduces unacceptably risky changes to the router, then it
can wait.

Cheers,

John
