Important

KiCad stable releases occur periodically per the KiCad Stable Release Policy. New features are continually being added to the development branch. If you would like to take advantage of these new features and help out by testing them, please download the latest nightly build package for your platform. Nightly builds may introduce bugs but it is the goal of the KiCad Development Team to keep the development branch as usable as possible during new feature development.
