For sometime now, KiCad has stayed in the feature freeze state. It means that instead of adding new features, we chose to focus on resolving problems that surfaced during thorough tests, performed by the vast KiCad community.
Thank you all, your help in this regard is very appreciated!

During the mentioned period, our team has fixed over 100 bugs (see incomplete list). Now, when the Release Candidate 2 is ready, we are really close to the stable release. Stay tuned!
