Stable release 7.0.6

[Wayne Stambaugh]

The 7.0 branch has been tagged for 7.0.6. The plan is to announce the
release tomorrow. Getting 7.0.6 out was a bit of a challenge.
Hopefully 7.0.7 will go smoothly. Thank you to everyone who contributed
to releasing 7.0.6.

Cheers,

Wayne

I think I missed the translation string freeze...

Hi Marco

We don't have string translation freezes in stable like we do with the
development branch before a new major release. We limit string changes
in the stable branch to spelling and grammar error with very few
exceptions so the stings are pretty much frozen for the entire stable
release series. You are free to merge translations to the stable branch
right up the next stable release tag.

Hi Dear,

The KiCAD is near to perfect. I was began a new project with v7+. But now I cant to install on Debian 12. Always install v6 and talking to me, that this is correct version. But format files and structure is very different. I try with upgrade backports. I find .deb, but package manager disappear when I try to install from it. I try to build from a sources, install both 'unixODBC' or 'iODBC'. But give me, than they missed:

Test unixODBC:

# dpkg-query -L unixODBC
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/isql
/usr/bin/iusql
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/unixodbc
/usr/share/doc/unixodbc/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/unixodbc/README
/usr/share/doc/unixodbc/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/unixodbc/copyright
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/isql.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man7
/usr/share/man/man7/unixODBC.7.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/iusql.1.gz


Compile sources:

cd build/release
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \
        ../../

sudo make install
