KiCad Version 2 downloading file

 

? Hi there, do you have a downloading file of KiCad Version 2?
? I collected some schematic files that seem to be KiCad 2.0, but I cannot find the version2 on KiCad official website.(I believe those files belong to version2 because they start with "EESchema Schematic File Version 2" in Notepad.)
?
 

Do they not upgrade to the latest version? Anyhow, to answer your
question as best I can, I have copies of kicad going back to
kicad-2007-01-15.zip and KiCad-2008-08-25c-final-WinXP_autoinstall.exe
(both Windows). Unfortunately this only tells me the date, not the
version number. Can you tell me when your files date back to? Or
does anyone know how dates and version numbers relate?

Regards,

Robert.

'EESchema Schematic File Version 2' is just be the version of EESchema which could be separate from the KiCad version (i.e. possibly also used in v4).? I opened a .sch file made with KiCad v5 and it was titled 'EESchema Schematic File Version 2'

I opened a .kicad_sch file made with v6 and it said:
(kicad_sch (version 20211123) (generator eeschema)' at the top.??
?
Another using v7 gave:
(kicad_sch (version 20230121) (generator eeschema)
?
v8 (last saved a few days ago):
(kicad_sch
? ? (version 20231120)
? ? (generator "eeschema")
? ? (generator_version "8.0")
?
You may have to install v6 to open a v5 file, then v7 to open the converted v6 file, and then v8 to open the v7 file.? (v8 is very worth it, IMHO)
Hope it helps.
