随着最近发布的KiCad 5.0.0，我开始自学有关差异以及作为新功能添加的内容，以便我可以转换到使用最新版本。
我决定在一系列描述大多数变化的视频中记录我的发现。
其中一些变化是直截了当的，而其他变化则不那么明显。
我对视频的目标是让像我这样从一个稳定版本移动到另一个版本的人能够快速从4.0.7版本快速过渡到新的和改进的5.0.0版本。
KiCad开发社区已投入大量精力来添加一些新功能，使KiCad成为原理图捕获和
PCB设计的强大工具。
一些主要的附加功能包括Spice
仿真器的集成，用于MCAD的
电路板设计的STEP输出，电路板组件的真实光线跟踪功能以及直接导入Eagle项目的功能。
可以在此处找到更全面的更改列表。
对于那些刚开始使用KiCad并希望获得更完整教程的人，我建议您观看我们的YouTube频道上发现的整个KiCad系列。

With the recent release of KiCad 5.0.0, I set out to educate myself on the differences and what had been added as new features so that I could transi
tion into using the newest version. I decided to document my findings in a
series of videos that describe the majority of changes.
Some of these changes are straight forward while others are not so obvious. My goal with the videos was to enable someone like myself, who moves from one stable release to another, to be able to transition quickly from the 4.0.7 release to the new and improved 5.0.0 quickly.
The KiCad development community has put in a lot of hard work to add several new features that make KiCad a very powerful tool for schematic capture and PCB design. Some of the major additions include the integration of a Spice simulator, STEP export of the board design for use in MCAD, the capability to do realistic ray tracing of the board assembly, and the capability to directly import Eagle projects. A more comprehensive list of changes can be found
here.
For those of you who are getting started in KiCad and want a more complete tutorial, I would recommend watching the whole
KiCad series found on our YouTube Channel.
