In a schematic, the part number attached to a RefDes should be unique AND NOT a

There should be a one to one relationship between a part number (symbol) and

A component is a term used for the generic part, like a 10k resistor, a 7474

A part on the opposite side is a one to one relationship, unique to a single

On eeschema, there is no version while there is one on pcbnew

Hi Nick,
I forgot to mention that I am building for OS X 10.9.3, so it was my
understanding that there are quite a few patches to apply. I will check my

I agree with Wayne’s opinion.
Everything in a single package is a lot less frustrating for new users.

Changing things inside the home folder is much more normal than changing

To me, that really look like feature creep.
you rarely need everything from 4 to 64 pins, and then why stop at 64?
The idea of a library is that you can pick what you need, not what you can do

Most of my work life, I was pushing design engineers to reduce the number of
Hi Nick,
The best would be to tune the github plugin to do just that. Access the
footprints from git and have them stored locally, so changes would be faster,
and user could work when not online.

Hi Adam and Bernhard,
This is indeed great news for the majority of users.
For me, I am still waiting for the “Eeschema RED SCREEN” bug to be fixed, as it

Do you know if OS X Yosemite will break KiCad?
I hesitate to upgrade until I can be sure that the year it took me to get

I have deleted all the build directory
