As far as I am aware, this ( https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg23302.html) is the latest proposal for the new symbol format.
Is this the case? Reading through this I have an idea that I think will be very useful. Currently each PIN can only have one TYPE (INPUT, OUTPUT, OPEN-COLLECTOR, etc) which means that for parts with multiple alternate-functions on a pin, ERC is essentially useless if the pin can be used as an INPUT or an OUTPUT (or something else). Further, labelling all the possible alternate functions on a pin means that either the symbol grows exceedingly wide, or many functions are missed. I suggest that the pin type should have facility for alternate functions to be specified which would solve both of these problems. Once a symbol is placed in the schematic, any multi-function pins are set to "default" values (e.g. GPIO for a micro) but the other functions can be selected.
