Q: My antivirus flagged Eagle 6.5.0. Is it safe? A: This is a false positive caused by the app's deep folder monitoring (similar to backup software). The app is sandboxed and verified. Whitelist the app if you trust the official source.

Q: How do I migrate from Eagle 6.4 to 6.5.0 without losing my annotations? A: The installer will convert your library automatically.
