Please unblock package kicad The upstream project of KiCad did release the third bugfix release for the KiCad main project about two weeks ago. As usual these releases do fix various small and sometimes bigger glitches like segfaults. On the Debian side two patches from Simon Richter are applied to decrease the footprint of bin related binary build steps. [ Reason ] The newer version is including beside the usual bug fixes also some backported features from the current development. But of course users do also like to have known issues fixed by a newer version. [ Impact ] The only impact is on the KiCad package itself, users will not be able to use some newer backported functions and fixed issues. [ Tests ] Due the nature of the package (GUI based software) we don't have any tests that can do some usual typical tests like creating a project or modifying existing projects. I do always test newer KiCad versions locally with some of my own projects, this includes open older projects created by older versions of KiCad, doing some basic things like adding new elements to schematics, working on parts in the parts libraries etc and build up PCB files. [ Risks ] The upstream code changes looks mostly hughe due the nature of C++, but KiCad has so far I know no reverse dependencies so the I believe the risk to break something in the archive is quite zero. Upstream does a lot testing and has also a big user base, if some nasty regression is happen a new bugfix relase is prepared also rather quickly.
