We're thrilled to announce the next release of KiCad: 9.0.4! https://www.kicad.org/blog/2025/08/KiCad-9.0.4-Release/

Lots of bugs fixed and performance improved. We're moving on toward 10!

We have an increasing number of questions from our Linux community about using Wayland. Our take is that Wayland remains an experimental, evolving idea. It is still missing basic functionality that KiCad users have come to expect. We hope that it continues to improve. But for now, if you need to use KiCad on Linux, we recommend installing X11.

@claudius @aleksorsist Boy, you will really hate to know the backgrounds of the developers then. You are welcome in the community. So is FFX. So are our trans friends. The people who are not welcome are those who try to exclude others. They are welcome to fork KiCad and start their own community.

KiCad project awarded NLnet foundation grant.
