>A note about backup files
One other notable change is that the backup file system has been removed. This was the system that would create kicad_sch-bak and kicad_pcb-bak files every time you save. The short story about why this is removed is that with recent changes to the way file saving works, it should no longer be possible for files to be corrupted if KiCad crashes during a save, and the generation of these backup files was seen by many users as annoying clutter. For more context about this decision, you can read the [thread on the developers mailing list](https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg44067.html).

>An new backup system that properly backs up the whole project (see the [GitLab issue](https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4763)) has been implemented to replace this feature. As always when using nightly builds, back up your files separately in case a KiCad bug breaks the built-in backup system.

* KiCad: add *.kicad_sch-bak

As used by the new file formats for KiCad 6.0
See https://kicad-pcb.org/blog/2020/05/Development-Highlight-New-schematic-and-symbol-library-file-formats-are-now-the-default/

* Add *.kicad_prl to KiCad.gitignore

Newer versions of KiCad call the schematics backup file `.sch-bak`.

This reverts commit 6ffcee9711.

As described in commit c5a2ea1dd8 in the
kicad repository itself, the fp-info-cache file should not be checked
in to version control.

We shouldn't ignore -cache.lib files, because it causes missing components in your schema

http://kicad-pcb.org/help/file-formats/ specifically mentions this:

> `-cache.lib`: …​ a local copy of all the symbols used in the corresponding schematic, so that when the folder containing a KiCad project is copied to a different PC, the schematic can still be opened and printed and will still look the same as the original draughtsperson intended - even if that other PC does not have those symbols in its main libraries (or has symbols that coincidentally have the same name but are completely different).

- *.ses files are generated by Freerouting (which is the partially integrated autorouter)
- *.dsn files weren't actually being ignored

According to their website, the correct capitalization is KiCad, not KiCAD.

These are two other filetypes that KiCad creates before overwriting something.
