Re: [Kicad-developers] 5.0 RC2 / release status

2018-05-20 Thread Wayne Stambaugh
Great work Rene!

Last call for any changes before I tag RC2.  I wait another hour or two
but I'm going to tag rc2 before I call it a night unless there is
something critical that needs to get committed.

Re: [Kicad-developers] 5.0 RC2 / release status

2018-05-20 Thread Rene Pöschl

Hi all,

as promised in my last response the library repos are now tagged with 
5.0.0-rc2
If there is another major delay we might need to introduce a rc2.1 tag 
or something (or accept that at that time the libs are a bit older)

We have one important pull request open that i will fix up my self
tomorrow if the contributor does not fix the remaining issues him self.
(Removing duplicate power pins from symbols as this can be quite
dangerous if the user connects them multiple times.)

After this is merged i will tag the library with "5.0.0-rc2" (Tomorrow
evening)

After this tag is set we will no longer allow renaming of libs until v6
development. (Adding new libs will still be allowed.)

I'm OK with this.


I will also create a kicad 4 compatibility backport for this lib. (The
intention is to allow users to use the new library structure for new
projects even if they can not update to a nightly build. This should
reduce their work when they then switch over to kicad 5)

This backport will contain a reduced number of footprints as footprints
with custom or roundrect pads are not supported by kicad 4. I will also
backport the symbol libs. The 3d lib does not need any work in this
regard but i will still ad a separate release tag to make it easier for
users. Not sure if i will make a backport of the templates.
Creating this backport will take some time but i hope to have it done
one week after the rc2 tag is set.

Awesome!  I'm sure our v4 users will appreciate this.



Regarding the issue about footprint connection you reported in [1]:
All symbols that have a valid symbol in the footprint lib are now
correctly connected. Sadly a lot of symbols still need footprints to be
generated. (Symbols where in the lib that never had a valid footprint)
Some of this will be fixed after the rc2 release. This will not impact
the library structure so i assume we can include these changes in the
final v5 release. (It will simply add more footprints.)

That fine by me.  If we are going add new symbol libraries during v5, I
don't see any reason not to add new footprints and footprint libraries.
We should try to avoid wholesale renaming and/or moving of libraries and
their contents to avoid headaches for users.  If we have any major
library reorganizations, we can always create a v5 branch as we do for
the KiCad source.

Thank you for all of your hard work on the libraries.  They really have
come a long way since v4 was released.

Cheers,

Wayne

2018-05-19 Thread Andrey Kuznetsov
What about this bug for MacOS that makes it too frustrating to use eeschema?

Basically, I cannot navigate by zooming around in eeschema because the
mouse scroll triggers on fine steps of the scroll wheel instead of the
larger ratchet steps, it's not just that this is a granularity issue it's a
consistency of navigation issue because when the scroll wheel springs back
to the ratchet position of the original zoom, the actual zoom level is
different and I have to play with the scroll wheel until the zoom level
looks OK. Coupled with a HiDPI display which slows down Eeschema and GOOD
BYE KiCAD on MacOS, it's too frustrating.

That fine by me.  If we are going add new symbol libraries during v5, I

We should try to avoid wholesale renaming and/or moving of libraries and
their contents to avoid headaches for users.  If we have any major
library reorganizations, we can always create a v5 branch as we do for
the KiCad source.

Thank you for all of your hard work on the libraries.  They really have
come a long way since v4 was released.

We have one important pull request open that i will fix up my self

(Removing duplicate power pins from symbols as this can be quite

After this is merged i will tag the library with "5.0.0-rc2" (Tomorrow

After this tag is set we will no longer allow renaming of libs until v6

I will also create a kicad 4 compatibility backport for this lib. (The 
intention is to allow users to use the new library structure for new

reduce their work when they then switch over to kicad 5)


This backport will contain a reduced number of footprints as footprints 
with custom or roundrect pads are not supported by kicad 4. I will also 
backport the symbol libs. The 3d lib does not need any work in this 
regard but i will still ad a separate release tag to make it easier for

Creating this backport will take some time but i hope to have it done

Re: [Kicad-developers] 5.0 RC2 / release status

2018-05-18 Thread Adam Wolf
MacOS is not 100% ready to go, but the large technical hurdles appear
to be past us.  Today I am working on adding OCE, which is a bit of a
pain, but the massive Python packaging rework is building solidly and
ngspice was just added.

If anyone is interested in helping with the macOS packaging, there are
a good handful of issues in the github repository that just require
someone who knows KiCad to download a dmg, install it, run KiCad, and
check that something works, and maybe write a few sentences on how to
verify that that feature works.

Hey Jon,

A really nasty bug[1] was putting rc2 on hold.  The commit to fix it was
just made yesterday.  I was just getting ready to make a last call so
hear goes.

I plan on tagging rc2 on Sunday evening barring any more show stoppers.
I have one last bug to fix (template paths) which I should get done by
today or tomorrow.  If anyone else has any bug fixes for rc2, please get
them committed by then.  Once rc2 is tagged, the UI string freeze is
officially in place.  No further UI string changes will be accepted
except for spelling errors until after v5 is released.  The goal is to
give our translators time to finish up the translations for v5 release.
Hopefully this will take less than a month.

Where do we stand on the package front?  Is macos packaging ready to go?
 The goal would be to have everything ready to go within a week or two
of tagging and branching v5.

If any of our doc and library devs are on this mailing list, please
forward this information so we aren't making major changes to the docs
and libraries at the last minute.

Thank you to everyone for all of your hard work.  Your efforts are
greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Wayne

Re: [Kicad-developers] 5.0 RC2 / release status

2018-05-18 Thread Maciej Sumiński
Hi Jon,

Welcome back! There was one very serious issue [1] blocking RC2, but
fortunately it was fixed yesterday. Looking at the to-do list for v5
[2], there are three minor issues and two more serious bugs that may
need some extra data from the reporters. It would be great to have the
former two bugs closed for the final release, but I suppose we are ok
for RC2. At least it would get us some extra testing eyes.

Regards,
Orson
