You will always be able load legacy symbol libraries.  Just add them to
the symbol library table.

You will have to convert symbol libraries to the new file format or keep
a 5.1 stable release installed on your system if you want edit existing
libraries.

The new symbol file format uses .kicad_sym so you can have both the
legacy and s-expression file formats in the same folder with the same
base name with the appropriate extension.

[Kicad-developers] Legacy symbol library support in master

[Wayne Stambaugh]

The new file formats seem to be coming along pretty well so I wanted to
give everyone a notice that I will be disabling support for saving to
file formats at the end of May unless something drastic changes between
now and then.  This will allow us to start merging new schematic and
symbol library features into the development branch.  Since the legacy
symbol file format would lose this information, all legacy symbol
library table entries will be made read only.  Only the new file format
libraries will be editable.  This means that if you want to continue to
edit legacy libraries, you will have to keep a copy of the stable 5.1
branch on you system.  Thank you for your patience during this transition.

Cheers,

Wayne

Re: [Kicad-developers] 5.1.6 Release Update

[Wayne Stambaugh]

Thanks Rene.  I just tagged 5.1.6 in the repo so once the doc and
translations are tagged we should be ready to fire up the package builders.

Re: [Kicad-developers] 5.1.6 Release Update

[Rene Pöschl]

Hi,

library is tagged. Some bugfixes on the symbol lib again result in 
changes that would break an existing schematic.


See details in issue comment:

Is there anything else holding us back from this before I tag 5.1.6 in
the repo?

Cheers,

The stable packages might not have been touched since we made this switch
after releasing 5.1.5 (at least the Fedora package still has launchpad in
it). But I don't think that is a good reason to still use it, the scripts
should be updated with this release.

It would make my life easier so I am all for that.  I don't know if any
of our package build scripts still pull from launchpad.  That's why I asked.

Re: [Kicad-developers] 5.1.6 Release Update

I would suggest we switch to GitLab as the single source of truth for the
code tarballs for this release.

Re: [Kicad-developers] 5.1.6 Release Update

[Wayne Stambaugh]

Is there any reason that I need to continue uploading stable source
archives to launchpad now that you can do this directly from gitlab?
