**File not scanned as it is too large**$$$Version 9 Changes$$$Most; if not all; of the new features as well as usability improvements in KiCad 9 are described in a running thread on the KiCad user forum. This thread is being kept reasonably up to date so users running nightly builds know about new features to take for a test spin and provide bug reports and feedback. Wayne Stambaugh also presented them in his FOSDEM 2025 talk which is available to watch on the FOSDEM website. This post highlights some of the major changes; but is not a complete list. There were also hundreds of bug fixes; performance improvements; and other smaller changes since KiCad 8. A full list of issues addressed in KiCad 9 can be found on the milestone page on GitLab.$$$$$$By the Numbers$$$Source repository contributions$$$KiCad 9 was built with changes and additions from hundreds of developers; translators; library contributors; and documentation submitters. There were 4;870 unique commits made that changed code and translations; which was roughly equivalent to Version 8. Our annual development cycle continues to provide regular major releases for our user base and attract new contributors and sponsors.$$$$$$Improvements to the official KiCad libraries$$$2024 was another big year for the KiCad library team. With the help of six new librarians joining the effort; the library gained almost 1500 new symbols; 750 new footprints; and 132 new 3D models along with thousands of updates to fix or improve existing parts. The team processed over 2309 merge requests. With even more people helping this year; the team is able to address issues more quickly and has been driving down the backlog of pending merge requests. We are excited to see so many contributors join the library team and accelerate the library’s growth.
