Nice, all canvas now converging.
I just got some “\n” string in an multline text (I will report).
@JeffYoung, is it possible now copy some draw (line and poligons) from Pcbnew to footprint editor?
I forgot to mention that the new Eeschema Find/Replace highlights all matches up-front. The current match is selected.

A post was split to a new topic: Is there a way to supress “more than one name given to bus or wire” warning?
New hotkey architecture. More actions now available for hotkey assignments.
Hotkey list in preferences is now like the rest of preferences: it shows the hotkeys for whatever apps are currently running.

Available tomorrow will be a command to toggle between the last two net highlights in Pcbnew. (There is no out-of-the-box hotkey assignment for it, so you’ll have to decide for yourself what hotkey you’re willing to reassign if you want to use it.)

Eeschema drawing hotkeys are now immediate and leave the previous tool selected when done. Same for context menu.
Move and drag now also leave the previous tool selected when finished.
Let me know if you find this better / worse / indifferent.
Cheers,
Jeff.

Some people have hated KiCad’s arc tool. This new feature may help in some use cases: it has a dragging point in the middle of the arc.
Sometimes it moves a bit arkwardly.

Try out the delete tool (trash-can icon at bottom of toolbar).
Is this a V5.X.x nightly, or V6.X.x nightly?
I think V5 and V6 nightlies should have their own separate threads.
This topic is about pre V6
V5.1.x will not be getting new features, just bug fixes

Right, everything here is about the “master” branch which will later become 6.0. There’s not much reason to keep a similar thread for 5.1.x, although it would be good to have a changelog list of fixed bugs. But that development can be followed almost as easily by reading the git commit log although the messages can be somewhat cryptic sometimes.

Oh, and thermal reliefs for custom pad shapes. (Note: it doesn’t try to be too smart. It’ll either be useful for a particular shape or it won’t. But that’s kind of the nature of the game for custom pad shapes.)
