The sooner we drop wxDC, the better for Kicad. I wouldn't do it because of the GTK3/Python issues (since it's a neverending Linux problem of changing APIs and libraries), but for performance reasons - on OSX for instance, eeschema is sometimes barely usable because of slow drawing. I hope I'll be able to devote some time to cleaning up the eeschema-gal code in the coming weeks. So far, the main canvas and the library editor are implemented, with the symbol preview widgets & library browser remaining. > I'm assuming the printing is a v6 goal. Orson made quite a lot of progress with Cairo printing. IIRC it can make it to the 5.1.
