It’s time to download it and run it through its paces, to see whether it’s ready to serve its purpose. LibrePCB brought out its first official release a little over a year ago, and now stands at version 0.1.3 with builds for GNU/Linux, Windows, MacOS, and FreeBSD.
This GPL-licensed package has only been in development for a few years.
There is however another contender in the world of open-source PCB CAD, in the form of the up-and-coming LibrePCB. Both KiCad and gEDA are venerable packages with legions of devoted fans, but it is fair to say that they both present a steep learning curve for newcomers. It’s a field in which most of the players are commercial, and for the open-source devotee there have traditionally been only two choices. There are a host of PCB CAD tools at the disposal of the electronic designer from entry-level to multi-thousand-dollar workstation software.
