wx2.8 is not oficially supported anymore, it can indeed work still, the quirks for getting it to work with wx2.8 has not yet been removed. > cvpcb is gone?!?! i think i am happy about that! stuff looks really good > right now. Sorry to dissapoint you, cvpcb is still existing. You just can't access it from the kicad app, but from eeschema. I am not quite sure why it is as such, but there is a bug noting this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1360898 > Are there any tests i should run to see if kicad actually works without > wxgtk3.0?? Well, you can search the bugtracker for bugs related to wx2.8 and see if you still have those, but that would be useless for everyone anyway.
