Congratulations and thank you to all the contributors! KiCad is an amazing piece of software.

Just donated $250; I'm trying to get in the habit of supporting the open source projects I use similarly to the cost of their proprietary competitors.

Such a well-written release notes page. I like how someone took the time to credit people for each feature that was added.

I regularly try to donate to KiCad, FreeCad, and LibreOffice. They all have been terrific resources for me. Screw Microslop.

Wow this looks like an incredible set of features this release. Jump over and schematic grouping will be super useful, and I didn't even know they were working on reusable design blocks. Kicad feels like the next blender in that it's really getting a lot of treatment. Congrats!

Congrats. Honestly I think Horizon and LibrePCB are better - I'll reconsider when you can drag components in the schematic editor without instantly disconnecting all the wires. Still, nice to have alternatives.

I've donated about $100 USD to it. KidCAD is great software because many engineering systems are too expensive for students. Another very interesting project that's gaining traction is the Arduino emulator https://velxio.dev

Binary Cadence import is a big one. You no longer need Allegro Viewer for looking at dev board design files and no more license for exporting either.
