I would recommend getting on with it.<br>
<br>
I have had issues with libraries in old projects not translating well (e.g. the library used to be "Capacitors_ThroughHole" but now is "Capacitors_THT" so it couldn't find the symbols until I dinked with the library settings), but aside from that it has been an overall improvement.<br>

Pete what OS are you using it with? Can you comment on the draw speed? I run kicad in linux and the draw speed is pretty laggy compared to the same machine using Windows. But I'm still using the 2013-jul-07-stable release.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
