When will Kicad 5 be available?

I hope that some “limitation” will disappear. Two examples:1) now I’m unable to simply copy a schematic between two project (my fault?) to reuse it. And it will be still impossible in v5?

I think that is unchanged in v5, there is a sort of workaround procedure (should be FAQ?)

1. Open destination project
2. Use “Append sheet” to copy sheet from source project
3. Copy/paste within project
4. If no longer needed, delete appended sheet

2. I’m making new symbol libraries (complying with European Norms) and I would keep them in separate folder but automatically included in new projects. In v4 it seems a bit complicated.

i think this will be easier in V5, since you can add a symbol library to the global table so it will appear in all projects.

@Giorgio

Could you be a bit more detailed?

Not really, it is a new feature which I have not tried yet. I believe it is a similar scheme to the footprint library table management.
