Re: 5.1 release

 

Thank your Rene and all of the library developers for your efforts. This should be the last of the repo tags so lets fire up those package builders. I will finish up the release announcement this evening so that once most of the packages are built I can make the release announcement.

Cheers,

Wayne

The library has been tagged. It includes a few bug fixes since rc2.

The 5.1.0 release has been tagged and the source archive[1] has been
uploaded to launchpad.  Please let me know if there are any issues.

The 5.1 development branch has been created.  I decided to use
-br-unknown for the KiCad version suffix of the 5.1 branch so that we
can distinguish between the dev and 5.1 branches when building from
source archives.  Otherwise the version string would always be
5.1.0-unknown which would be confusing.  Both branches are now open for
bug fixes only.

Cheers,

Wayne

I plan on tagging and branch 5.1 today around 12PM EST.  Please do not
push any further changes to the development branch unless a critical bug
needs to be fixed.  Will the repo maintainers tag all of the library,
doc, and translation repos as soon as possible so we can get packages
built.  Once you've tagged the repo, ping the mailing list so the
package devs know when to start the release builds.  Let me know if
there are still any outstanding issues that would delay the release.

Once I branch 5.1 please do not push any new features to the development
branch until I get a chance to review the list of changes and set the
merge priority.  I should have the merge priority ready by tomorrow at
the latest.  Bug fixes can be pushed as always.  Do not forget to cherry
pick bug fixes to the 5.1 branch as required.

Thanks again everyone for your continued hard work and dedication.
KiCad continues to steadily improve with each new release.  Version 6
will lay the groundwork for the next wave of improvements and features.
I'm looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish during the upcoming
development cycle.

Cheers,

Wayne
