Version 1.0.3 of the converter fixes a migration bug that could split one electrical connection into several disconnected pieces after import. The converter now reads alias labels from Electronic Design Interchange Format (EDIF), a standard for exchanging circuit designs, including names such as RTS# and display names that differ from the underlying net. A schematic that opens cleanly but changes connectivity is more dangerous than one that refuses to open, because the error can survive until board testing.
The release also forces printed circuit board imports through the stable KiCad command-line tool. Previously, a nightly importer could write a board in a newer file version that stable KiCad 10 could not open. Project names containing a dot now work too, and the Windows app accepts dropped files and folders, classifies them by format, and fills the matching inputs.
This is the standard migration tools should meet: preserve connectivity, produce a file the target release opens, and expose enough checks to compare the result with the source. Any team moving a real legacy design should add a known netlist comparison to its acceptance test rather than judging the conversion by whether the drawing looks right.
