Release notes for EAGLE 9.1.0
=============================
* NET Command:
- The NET command offers a new feature that allows the user to breakout nets from any
symbol pin from any number of parts in the schematic. It is accesible from the command
line with the command NET BREAKOUT or through the Net Breakout icon in the parameter
toolbar of the NET command. It includes custom label formatting options and an
auto-increment feature.
* Files and Directories:
- The Documentation folder is now accessed form the Help pull down menu.
- The Options/Directories dialog in the Control Panel now has an option that allows
to hide the example directories.
- The installed example files are in read-only mode now.
- All files saved by the user will now be stored in the $HOME/EAGLE path.
* Library Manager and Libraries:
- The in-design tab in the Library Manager now considers managed libraries as equivalents
for unmanaged libraries of the same name (since they will be used when updating the
design from libraries).
- 3D packages can now be edited inside EAGLE (if the user is online).
* Manufacturing Flyout:
- In the Drills View, different hole layer spans are now separated into different row
entries, with an indicator of their start and end layers. JSON and CSV output now also
includes new start_layer and end_layer fields.
- The Highlight Drills utility's Previous button now correctly cycles through the design's hole objects.
- The Preview color assignments are now saved in the .brd file, so they are specific to each EAGLE PCB design.
- When configuring Manufacturing Preview color assignments, Color dialogs are now initialised
with the current color assignment, not the default colors. A new Default Colors option has been
added to the Configure Preview colors menu.
* CAM Processor:
- The CAM Processor's Board shape and Cutouts checkboxes now have tooltips that indicate the
resulting 10 mil drawing width of the board/cutout edges.
- In the Advanced options sections, the Mirror Horizontal, Mirror Vertical, and Rotate buttons
now change their color to indicate when they are in effect.
- In the Advanced options sections, the decimal portions of specified Offset X and Offset Y
values are now processed correctly (and not discarded).
- In Excellon drill output, the Advanced section's Mirror Horizontal option now work as expected.
- In the Gerber RS-274X output, the output file's header comment now indicates the correct output format.
- In the Gerber output of rounded-rectangle SMDs, the overlap of neighboring interior fill
strokes has been adjusted to produce a more positive overlap.
* User Language:
- When an User Language Program creates a zero-length wire object in an EAGLE database, the
zero-length wire is now displayed.
- Updates to the Export/Libraries ULP: buttons for selecting managed or unmanaged libraries
and a fix to the creation of the output directory on Windows.
- Updated dxf-export ULP to export blind and buried vias properly.
- Added new aliases for ULPs (UL_FOOTPRINT, footprint(), .footprints, .footprint);
the previous syntax (e.g. UL_PACKAGE, package()) remains for backwards compatibility.
The <package> tag in EAGLE XML files was retained.
* Miscellaneous:
- Now using "footprint" instead of "package" in the EAGLE interface to refer to component land patterns.
- Added a new alias, ".fpt", for disambiguation when referencing assets by name in the EAGLE
command line (".pac" remains for backwards-compatibility).
- Single airwires now can no longer be copied and pasted into a board design. Only as a part
of larger selections that also contain all connected objects.
- The name of the Netlist button in simulation dialog in the schematic has been changed from
"Save Netlist" to "Update Netlist" for a better reflection of the related operation.
- Updated help for NET and BUS commands to better describe the recently added new features.
- Added checks to make sure that the bus alias uniqueness is enforced.
- Enhanced connectivity by automatically connecting nets to pins, as soon as a net's
endpoint touches a pin.
- When shrinking/swelling rounded-rectangle SMDs for paste/solder masks on t/bCream and t/bStop
layers, the corner-round calculation has been corrected in order to to produce a uniform
offset around SMD corners.
- Changed QuickRoute to use the ROUTE command parameter bar width setting for the width for
the route results, or the minimum width rule, whichever is larger to avoid DRC error.
* Bugfixes:
- Fixed a bug that caused the replacement technology from a previous UPDATE or REPLACE command
to be used in a subsequent REPLACE command.
- Addressed an issue that prevented Managed Libraries from being stored on case-sensitive Mac file systems.
- Fixed an issue with unicode characters not being able to be used in BUS specifications.
- Fixed an issue that would cause duplicate footprints of the same name to remain when updating
a board file without schematic. The issue occurred when the library contained a footprint with
the same name as one used in the board, but a different URN, and different 3D packages
referenced that footprint between the board and the library.
- Fixed an issue that could cause the ADD dialog in the board editor and the import 3D package
dialog to associate 3D packages with the wrong footprint in certain cases.
- Fixed a crash in QuickRoute that could occur when routing signals multiple times that exceed the tool's limit.
- Fixed an unexpected condition in Locator and a crash after a "Take" error message that could happen while routing.
- Fixed Window Flip to draw the grid dots properly.
* Bugfixes already in 9.0.1 (but not in the release notes):
- Addressed several UI bugs associated with the new UI style, including cropped text, menu font
size and spacing, Design Manager tabs, custom menu dropdown styling, accurate placement, default
sizing of dialogs and table column widths.
- Fixed a bug where escaping the Display Layers dialog would overwrite the 'Display Last' setting.
- When multiple CAM Directories are specified in Control Panel, CAM Processor's Job File Loader
now correctly lists them in Local CAM Jobs list.
- Access Violation on EAGLE shutdown is now avoided after legacy CAM Job has been loaded into CAM Processor.
- Addressed several UI bugs associated with the new UI style, including cropped text, menu font
size and spacing, Design Manager tabs, custom menu dropdown styling, accurate placement, default
sizing of dialogs and table column widths.
- Fixed a bug where escaping the Display Layers dialog would overwrite the 'Display Last' setting. |
