Description:
A Cross Platform and Open Source Electronics Design Automation Suite
Schematic Capture
With the schematic editor you can create your design without limit; there are no paywalls to unlock features. An official library for schematic symbols and a built-in schematic symbol editor help you get started quickly with your designs.
PCB Layout
Make professional PCB layouts with up to 32 copper layers. KiCad now has a push and shove router which is capable of routing differential pairs and interactively tuning trace lengths.
3D Viewer
KiCad includes a 3D viewer which you can use to inspect your design in an interactive canvas. You can rotate and pan around to inspect details that are difficult to inspect on a 2D view. Multiple rendering options allow you to modify the aesthetic appearance of the board or to hide and show features for easier inspection. (Source: Homepage)

mwayne,
Your GitHub link does not appear to be working.

The repo wasn't published yet.
Is KiCad working for you?
I'll try your dev test, and see how it looks.
Thanks for doing the work and uploading!

Update base app. Plus I removed the 3D shape models due to package size. But they can be downloaded here: https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-packages3D

Hi. I downloaded release 5.0.2 Dev Test 1 and installed it , but it didn't run. I have Windows 7 x64 with last update on this day. I tried to experiment with mixing files from Portable KicCad 4.x "KiCadPortable_4\App\KiCad\bin\bin" folder and I got result. I copied files from Portable KicCad 4.x bin folder with name "ssleay32.dll" and "libeay32.dll" to folder "KiCadPortable_5\App\KiCad\bin\" and that's it. My release started work. I hope this information will be helpful. Thanks mwayne for the release! Have a good day.

Hello, first thank you for your hard work.
I am a kicad and portableapps user, and your build are what I use.
but 5.0.2 (the last kicad version to support the legacy canvas) don't work on my 3 computers.
Can you fix it because I would love to upgrade from 5.0.1.
All the versions above 5.0.2 dropped support for the legacy canvas in the schematic editor.
They use a new gpu accelerated version of the canvas.
Can you fix your 5.0.2 build please ?
Thank you.
In 5.0.2 there is one dll "libeay32.dll" missing. See https://portableapps.com/comment/239290#comment-239290
Understood. It works, it needed the 2 files from the post. Thank you.

Thank you for your updates! Can you update to any 7.x version?

I'm guessing the publisher isn't interested in the patch at this point. Is that the case? Can we do a version without the patch or is that too much file movement?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Merged but not yet in release.
