I’m currently using KICAD 7. I’ve created my own library with around 30 parts, including schematic symbols and footprints. Will I lose my library if I upgrade?

Can KiCAD 8’s 3D Viewer accurately simulate multi layer PCBs with blind and buried vias for manufacturing checks?

I’m not a Kicad user (yet) but wanted to know about trace length tuning for high speed SI? How does it comopare with Altium? Is it user-friendly and accurate?

Can you share more info on the design block feature in KiCAD 8 and some best practices on how to use it for complex circuits? and will there be some changes regarding that with Kicad 9?
