Re: [Kicad-developers] What is the difference between library file format version 2.4 and 2.3
Thanks for the quick answer. I now know what to look for if we need to revert the lib version for some of the official libs.

Since version 2.4 libraries support long pin and pad names (longer than 4 characters), so they are 100% compatible with 2.3 as long as you do not use these features.

[Kicad-developers] What is the difference between library file format version 2.4 and 2.3
".lib" files created or edited with a recent nightly build set the header information to version 2.4. What is the difference to the lib version used in kicad stable (version 2.3). I can open 2.4 version libs using kicad stable. But kicad stable does not display anything that is stored in the dcm file. (If i then edit such a lib file with stable, it results in the loss of the complete dcm file content.) Is it possible to revert the file version in some manner if a file has been updated to version 2.4 such that the lib can be used again in kicad stable? ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
