Comment 8 for bug 1640873

Not any time soon as we are still working on 5.1 due to issue with gtk3 on linux. I'm hoping we will release 5.1 before FOSDEM 2019 (first week in February). Once 5.1 is released the development branch will be open for v6 development. Given the list of new features slated for v6, I suspect it will be at least a year (most likely longer) until it is released. There are no full time KiCad developers. There are only two paid part time developers and another 5-6 volunteers that occasionally get paid to implement some feature. I think we do a heck of job given our manpower limitations.
