Thanks Wayne, all good. No issue with the current feature freeze status. Most important is the actual s-expressions file format, which itself is unlikely to change. With that in mind I carry on roughly from where I suspended development. Cheers Johannes On 2/02/21 2:17 am, Wayne Stambaugh

Hi Johannes, I should have made it clear that the feature freeze implies that the file formats are frozen as well. I'm not saying there would never be a case where we wouldn't change it but the chances are extremely low. Cheers, Wayne On 2/1/21 2:03 AM, Johannes Sprigode wrote: > Hi Wayne, >

Hi Johannes, The new schematic and symbol file formats are frozen unless we find a bug that needs fixed so you should be able to start working on this again. Please note that we are in feature freeze so this feature will not be merged until V6 is branched and released and we open up V7

Hi Wayne et al, the new file format appears to be stable as of now. The format contains all required information to implement rotated texts. I am considering an implementation restart of my previous efforts. Are there any activities already underway? Cheers Johannes On 13/08/19 11:46 pm,

Hi Johannes, The the new file format work is in progress and should be done in a few months. The UI support for moving pin name and number text will happen some time after that. I cannot say when for sure as the new file formats add a lot of new features which will require a significant amount

Howdy Wayne, no worries. Thanks for the heads up. I'm not surprised at all since this only makes sense to have. In the meantime I'll keep it up if viable as a local patch just for fun-kickers. Is that feature already progressing? If so, which tag? Cheers Johannes On 13/08/19 7:27 AM, Wayne

Johannes, Once the new schematic and symbol library file formats are complete, you will be able orient pin number and name positions freely. This is planned for version 6 which is currently under development so no changes will be made to the existing file format to support this. Thank you for

Hello there, been using Kicad for a while and have not looked back at eagle except for project imports. However, I found all those vertical texts  in eeschema quite disruptive. So I've done something like in attached screen shot over the last couple of days working off of master under Linux.
