kicad (6.0.0+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
Changes introduced by kicad 6.0.0
---------------------------------
Again with this new major version KiCad has some important changes that are
backwards incompatible.
The project file format and also the symbol file format has changed!
!!! Please make a backup of your existing projects before proceeding !!!
Further modifications did happen to the environment management of KiCad.
Due the new introduced symbol file format you will need to update any local
symbol files before you can use them again.
Please have a look at the README.Debian file for the package kicad, it
includes some further information.

kicad (5.0.0+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
Changes introduced by kicad 5.0.0
---------------------------------
By updating the kicad package from 4.0.7 to 5.x.x some important changes need
to be noted.
The way symbol libraries are defined and accessed has been modified since
4.0.7, this brings in that old schematics will need a remapping. This will
happen while open old schematics within a 5.x.x version.
!!! Please backup your data before open and modifying your projects !!!
The official libraries have got a complete rework and aren't backward
compatible, once you have used the new libraries your project can't be open
in older versions of kicad without a high risk of damage the project.
The old environment variable KICAD_PTEMPLATES has been replaced by
KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR, you may need adjust the old used name to the new one. A
new environment variable KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR was added which is dedicated
for pointing to personal templates from users.
Please read also README.Debian and also Blogposts and News from the KiCad
website. If you not already have visit the KiCad forum you should give it a
try.
