Parsing errors in stable KiCAD

See original GitHub issue

After running ./generate-table and copying it into the OSX location for it (doing a .backup of the former first as advised in the README):

~/Library/Preferences/kicad/fp-lib-table

I’m getting this couple of footprint parsing errors while running CvPcb on KiCad 4.0.5:

Errors were encountered loading footprints:

Well, if you use a nightly build of KiCAD those footprints will load fine. It makes sense to me if the master of this repo tracks the master of KiCAD repo and there is a stable branch that tracks stable. We can still check both of those in CI with appropriate KiCAD versions.

Nice one @brainstorm, I have put up a stable branch and both branches are now being checked with Travis. More details are in the README. Thanks for reporting!
