| KiCad 10.0.0 Mar 20, 2026 |
By the Numbers: Source repository contributions: KiCad 10 was built with changes and additions from hundreds of developers, translators, library contributors, and documentation submitters. There were 7,609 unique commits made that changed code and translations, a notable increase from Version 9. 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: There have been significant developments with the official KiCad libraries since KiCad 9 was released - early on in the V9 cycle we switched the default 3D model format to STEP, and starting with KiCad version 10 we are shipping STEP files only - this dramatically reduces the install size of the 3D models and gives better geometric accuracy and fewer differences between visualization and exports. We have added new user contributions amounting to 952 new symbols, 1216 new footprints, and 386 new 3D models to the libraries. 5 new library team members joined us in 2025, helping with both tooling and reviews of user contributions. After extensive tooling rework, the vast majority of footprints in the library are now generated - over 78% of all footprints now get generated from data rather than being manually drawn. We now also have several integrated generators that produce both 3D model data and footprints from the same data definitions. Our median merge request processing time dropped from 3 days to 18 hours, despite receiving more merge requests than ever before (2105 new merge requests in 2025, compared to 2010 in 2024). General Improvements: Dark mode for Windows: thanks to a collaboration between KiCad core developers and the wxWidgets team, KiCad now supports dark mode on Windows, and will automatically follow the system choice of dark or light mode for the user interface. Windows dark mode: Customizable toolbars: Ian McInerney added the ability to customize toolbars in the KiCad editor windows, |
