janoc, Bassman59,
First of all, apologies, I should have clarified that the last "stable" release on the KiCAD download website is an older version.
CERN seems to be contributing most of the newer features such as push and shove I believe?
To clarify, I use KiCAD and I do like it, I am not having a go at it, I can build it fine all the time every time as I have the compiler and libraries set up correctly.
From the perspective of going into a website (such as DT, Eagle) and downloading the "latest" binary, KiCAD is not actively compiled, maybe that would be a better term or phrase. There may be very good reason for it not to be, but I remember back along when I saw some videos of KiCAD with some newer features and I couldn't for the life of me find the "download" for it, I thought it was someone's own personal version they had modified for themselves, until i found a link to a CERN branch and compiled that.
I must admit I haven't downloaded from the BZR for a while, so things might have changed / merged or whatever, but from a pure downloader's perspective it is not actively *compiled*.
I guess when Altium comes out with 5 or 6 new "sub versions" a year it makes other software look like it's not being updated, but it makes me think other software has less bugs!
