Some bugs found right after I downloaded the latest nightly PPA release:
1. Footprint editor will not display grid correctly.
2. Schematic library conversion gets the library lost.
I didn't test further before removing it. I'll wait for its final release.
Your a brave man saying that about kicad.
kicad is the best thing since sliced bread and has NO bugs or issues.
All due respect, but get off of this. He was running a nightly build of the development branch, so bugs are to be expected. The reason for the nightly builds is to get the latest code into the hands of anyone who wants to test the code.
We know you don't have anyone test your code. We know you don't do nightly releases of a development branch. We know you don't publish your source code, probably because it's embarrassingly shitty.
I notice that you ignored my post from last week about a bug I found that the developers fixed within
two hours of my report.
Your fucking problem is that you
think people say that "Kicad has no bugs or issues," when you are told repeatedly that yes there are bugs, yes there are issues, yes they get handled, and also your
preference for how footprints are ordered upon import into the layout is
not a bug.
However when you consider they had $20,000 funding last year they should be doing a better job........
Shock horror ! no kicads not free, you pay for it through taxes and grants.
Why do you keep harping on the fact that Kicad's developers get some money from CERN? Does it matter? Does it matter if Linux kernel developers get paid?
And honestly, if you took the stick out of your ass and actually did some work using Kicad 5.1.9, and then did another board using the 5.99 nightly, you'd know that there's a
ton of improvements in all areas: in the user interface, in the libraries, in design rules, in routing, in board/design set-up, in all of it.
But you won't do that, because the parts aren't organized on initial import into the board the way you prefer.
