The KiCad project is proud to announce the release of version 8.0.0.
Despite coming only a year after KiCad 7 was released, version 8 is packed
with new features, improvements, and hundreds of bug fixes. We hope you
enjoy the new version! Head to the KiCad download page
to get your copy of the new version (note that some packages may still be in
the process of being released at the time this announcement is published).
Our thanks go out to everyone who contributed to KiCad this past year. Whether
your contribution was large or small, writing code, submitting bug reports,
improving our libraries and documentation, or just supporting us financially:
your help made a difference.
In accordance with the KiCad stable release policy, KiCad 7.x will no longer be
actively maintained, and we will release bug fix versions of KiCad 8.x over the
next year as we develop new features for KiCad 9. Read on to see some of the
highlights of the new version!
