I noticed that settings didn’t get imported from 5.99 version, I now make tilted and ugly looking routes now, and not 0, 45 or 90 like before.
Editing old routes/tracks is as slow as before.
V does not always create a new via, but it is good for changing layers. Sometimes I had to press V for several times before I actually got a through via.
And again, if I click a route/track I want continue from that, and not create a stray track.
Is drawing a schematic fixed. Just before V6.00 I noticed that I had a break on one of my connections. The wires touched each other but they did not make a contact.
No autoroute. I spent some time routing, or doing agility training for mice, trivial routes, autoroute could have done those.

interesting. I got an question-dialog “do you want to import your old settings from v5.99?” during install of v6.0rc1. And after clicking on that checkbox I got my old settings. Maybe try again an deinstall / new install cycle with an actual download?
exception: the user.hotkeys-file is not copied from the 5.99 version, this file has to be copied manually.

Do you have the option “snap to tracks” set? (see picture)

Yeah, that bug was also reported on gitlab and seems fixed since some days.
No autoroute.
As far as I could read out from all discussions/threads/answers on gitlab it is not planned to introduce an autorouter in the near future. I believe permanent complaining will not change this.

I downloaded todays version and installed it, no questions about " I got an question-dialog “do you want to import your old settings from v5.99?” during install of v6.0rc1. And after clicking on that checkbox I got my old settings. Maybe try again an deinstall / new install cycle with an actual download?"
setting “free angle mode” enabled? (under interactive router settings). I think so
That download page where you see that name will always give you a nightly build. The stable release, when it is ready, will be located in a different place and will have a more clear filename.
On Windows, if you look in Program Files - KiCad, you will see a 5.99 directory and now a 6.0 directory for this rc1++ series. You may also have “bin” from 5.1.x
