This was done because the schematic file format parser would break with
the forward slash character. I hope to fix this early in the v6
development but it's a pain we are going to have to live with until the
new schematic file format is complete. I wish I had the time to do it
all at once but it's just wasn't in the cards. I have to implement this
one piece at a time. There was an announcement on this mailing list
about it. I apologize for the inconvenience. Hopefully it will be
short lived.
Cheers,
Wayne

Hi,
looks like a forward slash character in nick names in the fp-lib-table
is not supported any more (it can be read but it cannot be saved).
This breaks compatibility with older fp-lib-tables somewhat. I have been
using slashes in names to namespace fp-lib-tables created for my
footprint collection <https://github.com/monostable/kicad_footprints>.
Is there a good reason for not allowing slashes in names?
Cheers,
Kaspar
