Warning: commits https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/commit/b109136c5c39fbe1f468ba844456505b74e47f2c or https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/commit/f7823239609bed6d0a315f394f202e61775e68d0 introduced a bug, impacting opening legacy kicad *.pro
/ *.sch
files: Only Value
fields of the symbols are imported, all other fields (footprint
and others are not imported) are discarded. This is easy to miss for small projects, so thought it will be useful to announce this.
Last working nightly is kicad-nightly-r29393.7059ef9b89-x86_64-lite.exe . Avoid newer nightlies when opening legacy projects!

Yes, confidental one. Wayne is aware about this and will probably fix it in near future (the issue occurred while trying to fix several other issues related to legacy import recently).

Nope, Revert commented out code. (2a13c0af) · Commits · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab did not solve the problem. Nightly kicad-nightly-r29393.7059ef9b89-x86_64-lite.exe
is still last good known version to open legacy projects.
I will mark this thread as outdated when see that problem is gone.
