v1.6.2
376915b

Added

  • General:
    • Support for time stamp in the date (i.e. 2023-04-02T09:22-03:00)
    • Support to pass variables to the 3D models download URL (#414)
    • Support for netclass flags (#418)
    • Export KICADn_* environment variables for the older versions
      So you can use KICAD6_* variables on KiCad 7.
  • Expansion patterns:
    • %M directory where the pcb/sch resides. Only the last component
      i.e. /a/b/c/name.kicad_pcb -> c (#421)
  • Command line:
    • --banner N Option to display a banner
    • --log FILE Option to log to a file, in addition to the stderr
  • Global options:
    • colored_tht_resistors to disable the 3D colored resistors.
    • field_tolerance field/s to look for resistor tolerance.
    • default_resistor_tolerance which tolerance to use when none found.
    • cache_3d_resistors to avoid generating them all the time.
    • resources_dir to specify fonts and colors to install (CI/CD)
  • 3D: colored 3D models for THT resistors
  • Blender export:
    • Better default light
    • More light options
  • Datasheet download: now the warnings mention which reference failed.
  • Plot related outputs and PCB_Print:
    • individual_page_scaling: to control if the center of the page is computed
      using all pages or individually.
  • Plot related outputs:
    • All outputs now support scaling.
  • BoM:
    • Support for extra information in the Value field.
      Currently just parsed, not rejected.
  • PCB/SCH parity test:
    • Check for value and fields/properties.
  • SCH print:
    • Support for title change
  • VRML:
    • Option to use the auxiliary origin as reference. (#420)

Fixed

  • Makefile: don't skip all preflights on each run, just the ones we generate
    as targets. (#405)
  • KiKit present: problems when no board was specified. (#402)
  • Datasheet download:
    • Avoid interruptions when too many redirections is detected (#408)
  • PcbDraw:
  • PCB Print:
    • Interference between the visible layers in the PRL file and the results
      when scaling. (#407)
    • Problems with images in the WKS (KiCad 5/6)
  • Diff:
    • Problems when using an output and no variant specified.
  • PCB/SCH parity test:
    • Workaround for bogus net codes generated by KiCad (#410)
  • 3D Models:
    • Problems to download KiCad 7 models (#417)
    • Added workaround for KiCad 7 failing to export VRMLs for PCBs using paths
      relative to the footprint. (See #417)
  • VRML:
    • ref_y coordinate not used. (#419)

Changed:

  • Some R, L and C values that were rejected are accepted now. You just get a
    warning about what part of the value was discarded.
