kicad (5.0.0+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium Changes introduced by kicad 5.0.0 --------------------------------- By updating the kicad package from 4.0.7 to 5.x.x some important changes need to be noted. The way symbol libraries are defined and accessed has been modified since 4.0.7, this brings in that old schematics will need a remapping. This will happen while open old schematics within a 5.x.x version. !!! Please backup your data before open and modifying your projects !!! The official libraries have got a complete rework and aren't backward compatible, once you have used the new libraries your project can't be open in older versions of kicad without a high risk of damage the project. The old environment variable KICAD_PTEMPLATES has been replaced by KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR, you may need adjust the old used name to the new one. A new environment variable KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR was added which is dedicated for pointing to personal templates from users. Please read also README.Debian and also Blogposts and News from the KiCad website. If you not already have visit the KiCad forum you should give it a try. http://kicad-pcb.org https://forum.kicad.info/ -- Carsten Schoenert Sun, 22 Jul 2018 11:02:00 +0800
