Description:
KiCad is a unique software product that allows you to open, create, develop electronic circuits for the subsequent output of a printed circuit board design in an interactive view. In fact, this is a whole set of programs belonging to a separate class of EDA - Electronics Design Automation. Built-in components will allow not only to create, but also to visualize and check the correctness of ERC rules.
This software allows you to develop complex circuit diagrams using the base of electronic components, to check the integrity of the signals. It includes free applications, open bases and templates and libraries.
With KiCad, the user will be able to create truly professional PCB layouts, intelligently designed electrical circuit diagrams up to 32 layers of copper. Now, the program has a push-to-shove router for working with differential pairs and an interactive tool for setting track lengths.
The functions of the integrated 3D Viewer will allow you to rotate and see what a simple 2D design does not allow you to see. Rendering options will make the view more comfortable.
Main functions:
• Integrated 3D PCB viewer.
• Actually kicad itself is a project manager.
• Built-in schematic editor - eeschema.
• Editor of symbolic designations of schemes, components.
• PCB editing component (pcbnew).
• A tool that allows you to edit footprint templates.
• 3D viewer for finished boards based on OpenGL.
• Viewing Gerber photomasks (gerbview).
• An integrated component (cvpcb) to select the footprint on the board for elements corresponding to the elements on the circuit diagram.
• Convenient text editor for displaying logs with reports.

What's new:
The KiCad project is proud to announce the second series 7 bug fix release. The 7.0.2 stable version contains critical bug fixes and other minor improvements since the previous release.

A list of all of the fixed issues since the 7.0.1 release can be found on the KiCad 7.0.2 milestone page. This release contains several critical bug fixes so please consider upgrading as soon as possible.

Version 7.0.2 is made from the 7.0 branch with some cherry picked changes from the development branch.

Packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are available or will be in the very near future. See the KiCad download page for guidance.

Thank you to all developers, packagers, librarians, document writers, translators, and everyone else who helped make this release possible.
