[Kicad-developers] 5.1 preview

Thanks to some great help from Nick, I believe my 6.0 (aka 5.1) tree should compile cleanly on other platforms if any of you want to try it out. https://git.launchpad.net/~jeyjey/kicad/?h=6.0 Cheers,

Re: [Kicad-developers] Translation of dialog_bom_help.html

Hi Wayne, Out of interest, if formatted translated text is required in this dialogue would  it be easier to change from html to markdown? At least markdown is fairly easy for a translator to work with, although it doesn't provide all of the flexibility of

Re: [Kicad-developers] Stable 5 release.

I agree with you in principal but the practical side of these changes is far more subtle as demonstrated by the simulation and erc issues. The invisible power pin issue has been around for as long as I can remember (mid 80s). Oddly enough, op-amps typically have power pins shown on all units

Re: [Kicad-developers] Stable 5 release.

I certainly agree about the invisible pins! What I have done for my symbols is to put the power pins on the first unit of a multi-unit component and make them visible. On 07/12/2018 09:04 AM, Rene Pöschl wrote: Sadly the old symbols are completely unusable in many modern circuits which use

Re: [Kicad-developers] Stable 5 release.

Sadly the old symbols are completely unusable in many modern circuits which use more then one power supply for different parts of the circuit. Hidden power pins are not the way to go! The fix for this bug must come from a different side then reintroducing hidden power pins. On 12/07/18 13:46,

Rene, Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1781290 may be an issue. The decision to separate symbol power pins as a separate symbol unit caused this bug. I didn't think about this when the changes to the symbol libraries where made but it is going to cause issues for anyone trying to

The libs should be ready to go. We might still fix some minor things till the release but we do not have any showstopper topics open. On 11/07/18 20:49, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: Are there any critical bugs remaining to be fixed for the stable 5 release? I didn't see any thing outstanding but I
