Re: Version 6 feature freeze.

 

Hi Pedro,

Nice to read you.
There are some problems with non ASCII paths (I opened an issue in the bug tracker some days ago) thats make KiCad 5.99 useless, so try your system prior to using in full production.

Un abrazo.
Iñigo.

Hi Wayne,

Thank you and all the team for the Kicon meeting today.

My question,
Is the file format for V6 frozen too?

I want to start working with V5.99 for real work. I know the risks, but the risks are higher if the file format may be changed in a near future. I mean, I want ot be sure that the files will be opened with any V6 update.

Thanks.
Pedro.

As of now, the development branch of KiCad is closed for new feature
merges except for the items on the exception list.  A new feature freeze
exception tag has been created to tag existing merge requests that fall
into the exception category.  All new feature merge requests will be
pushed back until the main repo is opened for version 7 development.
The focus will now be on getting ready to release version 6 early in
2021.  Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
Hi Wayne,
when do you think will occur the creation of a 6.0 branch?
Not until -rc1 is released which hopefully will be early in January
2021.  I want the dev team to stay focused on getting V6 out before we
open the repo for V7 features.

Cheers,

Wayne
