Hi Wayne, Good news to see a new release, but I wonder about two things:
1. Boost 1.61 compatibility and bugfix? 2. Release version string. Should the release should include the boost 1.61 fix. It was discussed in: [Kicad-developers] About Bug 1604841: Pcbnew crash at moving via, and boost::context fixes to make it compatible with boost 1.61 And there is a patch in [1], although it does not explicitly state where it is from, but it looks similar to [2] and [3]. With out the patch in [1] I can not build it against boost 1.62 on archlinux. Secondly, I would like to know how we are supposed to set the release infor for the version string. For the 4.0.0--4.0.4 you are supposed to use the following options to set the version string: -DKICAD_REPO_NAME=stable -DKICAD_BUILD_VERSION=4.0.5 But KICAD_REPO_NAME does not seem to exist anymore... even though I set KICAD_BUILD_VERSION it gets overridden by the git info and the version string becomes: #define KICAD_FULL_VERSION "(2016-11-09 revision 18f77b8)-4.0" I would have expected to get something like we are used to as, "4.0.5-stable" for example.
