KiCad 7 Docker images are not using the latest KiCad releases

[ceoloide]

When running kicad-cli version using ghcr.io/inti-cmnb/kicad7_auto:latest the version reported is 7.0.8 and the version reported by setsoft/kicad_auto:nightlyis even older (<9 months as it doesn't have kicad-cli available).

A recent commit to KiCad 7 added the ability to import Specctra SES files in headless mode through Python, which enables automated Freerouting workflows. It would be nice to have fresh images to play with.

Hi @ceoloide !

When running kicad-cli version using ghcr.io/inti-cmnb/kicad7_auto:latest the version reported is 7.0.8

They aren't updated automatically. I must be sure that a new KiCad release doesn't break some feature, and it usually does because the "stable" KiCad branch is full of patches "cherry-picked" from the "unstable" branch.

and the version reported by setsoft/kicad_auto:nightlyis even older (<9 months as it doesn't have kicad-cli available).

I think you are looking for 'stable_nightly', but in any case: I'm not using the nightlies at the moment, they are changing too fast, breaking stuff every week.

A recent commit to KiCad 7 added the ability to import Specctra SES files in headless mode through Python, which enables automated Freerouting workflows. It would be nice to have fresh images to play with.

I added a 7.0.9 stable release today, check if the patch is there.
