For those of you who did not have the good fortune of being able to attend | ||
https://kicad-kicon.com/[KiCon], you missed a great conference. If this | ||
years conference was any indication, you will not want to miss the next one. | ||
The conference completely sold out with 220 registrations. Attendees from | ||
all over the world gathered to share their experiences with KiCad. There | ||
were high quality talks, the badges were cool, everything ran smoothly, | ||
https://mhubchicago.com/[mHUB] was the ideal venue, and the after hours | ||
events were a whole lot of (maybe too much) fun. There was a tremendous | ||
amount of excitement about all things KiCad which bodes well for the future. | ||
|
||
If you couldn't attend, the https://youtu.be/nL0yTvJKA5c[keynote talk] and | ||
https://youtu.be/NRwTyBX2BFk[developer panel talk] have been uploaded to | ||
YouTube. All of the talk videos are in the process of being uploaded so | ||
you will be able to view all of them. You should also take a look at | ||
https://hackaday.com/2019/04/30/kicad-community-shines-at-first-ever-kicon/[Mike Szczys' Hack-A-Day Post] | ||
for a nice write up on KiCon. | ||
|
||
The KiCad project would like to thank Chris Gammel for all of the hard work | ||
he did to make KiCon happen. We would also like to thank all of our | ||
https://kicad-kicon.com/sponsors/[sponsors], presenters, and volunteers who | ||
made KiCon possible. | ||
|
||
The first KiCon was so good that you may want to get your tickets early for | ||
the next KiCon before it sells out. We hope to see all of you at the next | ||
KiCon. |

||
The KiCad project is proud to announce the release of version 5.1.0. | ||
This is the first ever minor version release of KiCad and was developed | ||
primarily to resolve compatibility issues with Linux GTK3 and long | ||
awaited support for python3. | ||
|
||
In addition to the primary focus, there have been many important changes | ||
that make this release a substantial improvement over the 5.0 series and | ||
a worthwhile upgrade for users on all platforms. Included in the | ||
improvements are: | ||
|
||
- Improved 3D model library path configuration. | ||
- Cairo canvas is now used for printing support on all platforms. | ||
- Schematic and symbol library editors now use the modern canvases for | ||
rendering. | ||
- Symbol pin table is now editable. | ||
- Pcbnew scripting support for Python 3 has been added. | ||
- Snapping for graphical object drawing in board and footprint editors. | ||
- Significant user interface improvements. | ||
- Major dialog box improvements. | ||
- Both the footprint and symbol library editors now share the same | ||
user interface paradigm with a library tree view pane. | ||
- Symbol, footprint, and 3D model library improvements. | ||
- Documentation and translation improvements. | ||
- Less pain for Linux package maintainers, now all features should be | ||
easy to support. | ||
Additionally, files created by KiCad version 5.1 remain 100% | ||
compatible with files created by version 5.0. | ||
|
||
Of course no new stable version of KiCad would be complete without | ||
https://launchpad.net/kicad/5.0/5.1.0-rc2[many], | ||
https://launchpad.net/kicad/5.0/5.1.0[many] bug fixes so please | ||
consider upgrading as soon as possible. This version will be | ||
the only supported version of KiCad moving forward. There will | ||
be no further releases of the 5.0 series. | ||
|
||
Version 5.1.0 is built from the source code in the | ||
link:https://git.launchpad.net/kicad/log/?h=5.1[lp:kicad/5.1] | ||
branch. | ||
|
||
KiCad binaries will be available for download for Windows, MacOS, and | ||
Linux are available or will be in the very near future. See the | ||
http://www.kicad-pcb.org/download/[KiCad download page] for guidance. | ||
|
||
Thank you to all developers, packagers, librarians, document writers, | ||
translators, and everyone else who helped make this release possible. | ||
We hope you enjoy the latest release of KiCad. | ||
|
||
The KiCad Development Team |

The KiCad project is proud to announce the latest series 5 stable | ||
release of KiCad. The 5.1.2 stable version contains critical bug | ||
fixes and other minor improvements since the 5.1.0 release. It | ||
also includes improved footprint, symbol, and 3D model libraries, | ||
translations, and documentation. A list of all of the fixed bugs | ||
since the 5.1.0 release can be found on the | ||
https://launchpad.net/kicad/+milestone/5.1.2[KiCad 5.1.2 milestone page]. | ||
This release contains several critical bug fixes so please consider | ||
upgrading as soon as possible. | ||
|
||
If you are wondering why there was no "official" 5.1.1 release, | ||
there was a serious issue after 5.1.1 was tagged and some users | ||
had downloaded the unreleased 5.1.1 builds from the KiCad build | ||
server. The only way to prevent install conflicts was to create | ||
a new 5.1.2 tag with the bug fix and spin new builds. The KiCad | ||
project would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may | ||
have caused. | ||
|
||
Version 5.1.2 is made from the | ||
https://code.launchpad.net/~kicad-product-committers/kicad/+git/product-git/+ref/5.1[lp:kicad/5.1] | ||
branch with some cherry picked changes from the development branch. | ||
|
||
Packages for Windows, MacOS, and Linux are available or will be | ||
in the very near future. See the | ||
link:/download[KiCad download page] for guidance. | ||
|
||
Thank you to all developers, packagers, librarians, document writers, | ||
translators, and everyone else who helped make this release possible. |
