Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
The kicad port is at version 7.0.10 but versions 7.0.11, 8.0.0, and 8.0.1 have been released.
I might suggest updating to 7.0.11 first, to get a last good working version of 7.x, and then work on 8.x after that.

Mojca submitted a PR a month ago or so a PR to attempt an update to 8.0.1 - it might make sense to focus the effort there.

I didn't know a PR for 8.0.1 existed, but it's been stalled for a month, and it seems like the developer will not support the use of the upstream version of wxWidgets and we will need to use KiCad's custom fork of wxWidgets.
Meanwhile, here is the update to 7.0.11.

I'm working on 9.0.2 right now, but I'm stuck on macOS Ventura. KiCad 9 requires C++20, so MacPorts picks clang-20, but then I bump into the following issue:

I'm not sure, but it seems like KiCad updates are on pause?

I will attempt to update to 7.0.11 and submit a PR.
