KiCad 4.0.1 Minor Bugfixes
A new release of KiCad has been made, containing some minor bug fixes.
These are related to the default path issue seen on Windows where the
KISYMOD and KISYS3DMOD was not set properly. They are now set as
environment variables by the installer such that they match your
installation directory.
In addition to that, a few fixes for the GAL canvas has been applied and a bug fix for the KiCad manager where it could potentially crash.
Version 4.0.1 is made from the lp:kicad/4.0 branch with some cherry picked changes from the development branch.
KiCad binaries will be available for download for Windows, OSX and Linux in the near future, see the download page for guidance.
Instructions for packagers can be found on the download page describing how to build from source and its subpages.
