[Kicad-developers] KiCad 5 RC1 fails to build on mips, powerpc and ppc64el due undeclared initializer LIBCONTEXT_CALL_CONVENTION

Hi, I uploaded a prepared version KiCad 5.0.0-rc1 to Debian experimental a few days ago. Due the adding of new binary packages my upload was needed tp go through the NEW queue. Last night it got accepted by the FTP masters and was moving over to the buildd's [1] for the experimental release. The

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] Dynamic text in schematic and board.

I think option A is a good feature to add across schematic and layout. A macro substitution system for text is very handy especially as we introduce a better object properties system. For example, it would be nice if we could assign arbitrary properties to the project as a whole, as well as each

Re: [Kicad-developers] Proposed roadmap changes

Netlist export is a key feature of every schematic editor. So is multi-sheet support. These aren't random extra features, they are a normal part of any modern schematic editor. On Thu, Mar 8, 2018, 12:45 Ouabache Designworks wrote: > > > On Thu, Mar 8, 2018 at 9:21 AM,

Re: [Kicad-developers] Deletion in plugins causing trouble

As a short term fix, I'll allow this patch to prevent the segfaults. However, I do not want to continue to allowing these types of ad hoc fixes. We should take Dick's suggestion and look at what other projects are doing. We cannot be the only project wrestling with this issue. On 3/8/2018 3:59

it would be possible to add 'Vias' to selection filtering? That would be useful for deleting a Via stitching zone, without touching tracks Thx On 03/08/2018 12:03 AM, Tomasz Wlostowski wrote: On 07/03/18 23:59, Jeff Young wrote: Drag Footprint. Working on that :) Don't expect miracles,

Re: [Kicad-developers] Deletion in plugins causing trouble

In my opinion #3 is acceptable. It does not require any extra changes in the existing scripts and it fixes the problem until we come up with a better scripting interface. If nobody has objections, I am going to commit the patch. Regards, Orson On 03/06/2018 10:02 AM, miles mccoo wrote: > Thanks
