During these years, we made a library of ~1000 schematics designed in KiCad's latest version (v4.0.7) at that time. So, to remain consistent and portable with our circuits library, we continued using KiCad 4 based on this old version. We take this opportunity to request your suggestions on feasible ways to port these circuit schematics to KiCad 5 or 6.
