[Unreleased]

[0.6.0] - 2020-08-18

Added

  • Internal BoM generator, based on KiBoM code. This generator doesn't need the netlist, works directly from the SCH. It features enhanced HTML and XLSX outputs, in addition to the CSV, TSV, TXT and XML traditional outputs.
  • Support for full KiBoM configuration from the YAML
  • Added output to print to an SVG file.
  • Added default output file name pattern. Can be applied to all outputs.
  • Unified output name:
    • pdf_pcb_print.output can be used instead of pdf_pcb_print.output_name
    • gerber.gerber_job_file option to control the gerber job file name.
    • output option to control the file name to all plot output formats.
    • drill, drill.map and position file names can be configured.
    • Output file names supports expansion of various interesting values (base name, sheet title, revision, etc.).
  • The filters now accept the following aliases (suggested by @leoheck):
    • filter_msg -> filter
    • error_number -> number
    • regexp -> regex

Changed

  • Default file names for:
    • pdf_pcb_print: includes the used layers
    • drill maps: uses drill instead of drl
    • drill: uses drill instead of drl, used in gbr and drl.
    • position: no -pos in CSVs
    • step: adds -3D
    • pdf_sch_print: adds -schematic
    • IBoM: contains the project name.

[0.5.0] - 2020-07-11

Changed

  • Removed the "plot" option "check_zone_fills". Use the preflight option.
  • Drill outputs: map.type and report.filename now should be map and report. The old mechanism is currently supported, but deprecated.
  • Now the command line usage is more clearly documented, but also more strict.
  • The --list option doesn't need a PCB file anymore. Note that passing it is now considered an error.
  • Now we test the PCB and/or SCH only when we are doing something that needs them.

Added

  • The layers entry is much more flexible now. Many changes, read the README.md
  • PcbDraw output.
  • -e/--schematic option to specify any schematic (not just derived from the PCB name.
  • -x/--example option to generate a complete configuration example.
  • --example supports --copy-options to copy the plot options from the PCB file.
  • Help for the supported outputs (--help-list-outputs, --help-outputs and --help-output)
  • Help for the supported preflights (--help-preflights)
  • Better YAML validation.
  • Added HPGL options:
    • pen_number
    • pen_speed
  • Added metric_units to DXF options
  • Added KiBoM options
    • number
    • variant
    • conf
    • separator
  • Added the following InteractiveHtmlBom options:
    • dark_mode
    • hide_pads
    • show_fabrication
    • hide_silkscreen
    • highlight_pin1
    • no_redraw_on_drag
    • board_rotation
    • checkboxes
    • bom_view
    • layer_view
    • include_tracks
    • include_nets
    • sort_order
    • no_blacklist_virtual
    • blacklist_empty_val
    • netlist_file
    • extra_fields
    • normalize_field_case
    • variant_field
    • variants_whitelist
    • variants_blacklist
    • dnp_field

Fixed

  • Support for unpatched InteractiveHtmlBom

[0.3.0] - 2020-06-14

Added

  • Better debug information when a BoM fails to be generated.
  • Support for compressed YAML files.

Changed

  • Allow operations that doesn't involve a PCB to run if the PCB file is missing or corrupted.
  • The 'check_zone_fills' option is now independent of 'run_drc'

Fixed

  • Error codes that overlapped.
