Issues solved:

  • contributors needing to downgrade and find old versions.
  • contributors being unable to contribute to layout with official tool because it is in kicad5 since metacollin.
  • tons of issues and general sluggishness and poor ergonomics of using kicad4
  • being unable to use some general kicad features and autochecks because of the requirement of keeping layout and sch in separate versions.
    Which abscence of possible sync actually makes both pcb and sch more error-prone. I shoveled metric tons of kicad-unrelated sch and pcb errors after metacollin, most of which would never happen if kicad files were in sync. In fact I detected them by trying to make sync and seeking for a root cause of incompat.

Issues created:

  • kicad5-specific issues...
    which I haven't really encountered much of...
    even working with it for several months already.
    even using countless unfinished git versions. (the only time i updated a git version and sth went wrong is Edit shortcut E not always working)
    even with my custom-compiled mesa drivers
    which is sort of an indicator.
  • eeshow needing an upgrade to devour new format. (even if wpwrak won't do it, I will do it myself)
