You can add it to your basket and get next day delivery.....I wonder what UPS will deliver!
That's actually been in Kicad for years. You don't have to use CvPCB (and I don't, because you're right, it's stupid.)
Each symbol has a "footprint" field, which you can populate with whatever you like. And recent versions of the symbol editor have a button you can press which will open the list of footprint libraries, so you can select the library and then select the footprint you want (graphically!) and then the footprint and the library it's in will show up in the symbol.
The formats are versioned. There has been discussion about this. One issue is: a user creates a board design with an older version of the tools. And then he shares the design with someone using a newer version, who saves it, which automatically upgrades the file format version. That friend then sends the design back, and now the originator can't open the design because his version of Kicad is too old.

You misunderstand, I think (or I do ). Version control in the file format. Version control of changes to the schematic/PCB. I think that'd be really nice, but probably more of a "stretch goal" considering all the other things they need to get done first.
Couldn't install it:-
The PCB document is not compatible with Altium, the ALTIUM extension is .PcbDoc, but the CircuitStudio is .CSPcbDoc Oh noooo
The PCB document is not compatible with Altium, the ALTIUM extension is .PcbDoc, but the CircuitStudio is .CSPcbDoc Oh nooooWhat happens if you simply change the extension to .PcbDoc?
Does it import Protel .Sch and .PCB files?
This is a 3000 usd beta. I found numerous gui bugs in it, and many crucial functions for studios are not there.
1. I can not find global preferences, only project options.
- The schematic editor wants to keep all of the wires connected to a part when you move a part- wires are stretched/redrawn to maintain connections.
Not sure if there's a way to disable that or change the default. Control-click-dragging a component avoids keeping all of the connections. This is reversed by default from AD's behavior.

Because I'm thinking should I suspend my AD subscription next year and turn to CS?
Why are you people that already have AD trying this out? Do you expect a BETTER tool or something?
... duh.
