Should you switch to KiCad 5.0?

March 2, 2018 By Chris Gammell

TL;DR: The KiCad 5.0 package is not yet at a stable status, as of March 1st, 2018. Wait until the official 5.0 stable is announced to switch.


Should you consider moving to version 5.0, since the new release candidates (rc1) are now being tested?

I don’t think so, yet. Watch below to learn more.
