Bug fixing only period began a couple weeks ago for KiCad 8 per the release policy !
Not seeing as much in Post-v7 new features and development news - KiCad Official SW Thread - KiCad.info Forums to make me salivate as I did going into version 7 but that’s OK…
One nice thing is EasyEDA import.
There’s something there about LTSpice import too, but it’s from last April and it apparently still isn’t in the nightly, so I’m guessing that isn’t actually happening this version.
