9.0.0 Mar 7, 2025 New Release By the Numbers:
Source repository contributions:
KiCad 9 was built with changes and additions from hundreds of developers, translators, library contributors, and documentation submitters. There were 4,870 unique commits made that changed code and translations, which was roughly equivalent to Version 8. Our annual development cycle continues to provide regular major releases for our user base and attract new contributors and sponsors.
Improvements to the official KiCad libraries:
2024 was another big year for the KiCad library team. With the help of six new librarians joining the effort, the library gained almost 1500 new symbols, 750 new footprints, and 132 new 3D models along with thousands of updates to fix or improve existing parts. The team processed over 2309 merge requests. With even more people helping this year, the team is able to address issues more quickly and has been driving down the backlog of pending merge requests. We are excited to see so many contributors join the library team and accelerate the library’s growth.
General:
Jobsets (predefined output jobs):
Mark Roszko contributed a feature that provides predefined sets of ‘jobs’—for example, plotting, exporting, and running DRC—on schematics and PCBs. Independent jobset files are reusable as users may want to create output pipelines that they can apply across their projects for consistency. Jobsets can be run from the command line or from the KiCad GUI.
Embedded files:
Seth Hillbrand implemented embedding various elements in your schematics, PCB layouts, footprints and symbols that were previously linked to external files. This allows the creation of fully self-contained KiCad files that do not rely on any external files such as fonts or 3D models.
embed font
Bezier curve tool in all editors:
A Bezier curve creation tool in the schematic and PCB editors was implemented by John Beard. Like the arc tool, there are some guide lines in the PCB editor and by default it chains them as tangent to
