    Just donated $250; I'm trying to get in the habit of supporting the open source projects I use similarly to the cost of their proprietary competitors.

    Wow this looks like an incredible set of features this release. Jump over and schematic grouping will be super useful, and I didn't even know they were working on reusable design blocks. Kicad feels like the next blender in that it's really getting a lot of treatment. Congrats!

    Such a well-written release notes page. I like how someone took the time to credit people for each feature that was added.

    I regularly try to donate to KiCad, FreeCad, and LibreOffice. They all have been terrific resources for me. Screw Microslop.

    Congrats. Honestly I think Horizon and LibrePCB are better - I'll reconsider when you can drag components in the schematic editor without instantly disconnecting all the wires.

    Still, nice to have alternatives.
