|
||
|
||
- New outputs:
|
||
|
||
- KiRi: interactive diff
|
||
- KiCanvas: on-line schematic/PCB browser
|
||
|
||
- General:
|
||
|
||
- Operations that copies the project now also copies the PRL and the
|
||
DRU
|
||
- Files named \*.kibot.yml are also detected as configuration files
|
||
- Mechanism to specify
|
||
|
||
- All inner layers (inners)
|
||
- All external copper layers (outers)
|
||
|
||
- Command line:
|
||
|
||
- ``--help-list-offsets`` to list footprint offsets (JLCPCB)
|
||
- ``--help-list-rotations`` to list footprint rotations (JLCPCB)
|
||
- ``--stop-on-warnings`` (``-W``) to stop on warnings (#545)
|
||
- ``--defs-from-env`` allows using environment vars for substitution
|
||
(#549)
|
||
|
||
- Global options:
|
||
|
||
- ``remove_solder_mask_for_dnp`` similar to
|
||
``remove_solder_paste_for_dnp`` but applied to the solder mask
|
||
apertures. (#476)
|
||
- ``layer_defaults`` to specify the default suffix and description.
|
||
(#504)
|
||
- ``include_components_from_pcb`` to disable the new behavior that
|
||
includes components from the PCB in the filter/variants processing
|
||
- ``restore_project`` now also restores the PRL
|
||
|
||
- Schematic format:
|
||
|
||
- Support for *unit names* (#513)
|
||
|
||
- Internal templates:
|
||
|
||
- 3DRender_top, 3DRender_top_straight, 3DRender_bottom and
|
||
3DRender_bottom_straight: to generate simple and quick 3D renders.
|
||
- \_KIBOT_POS_DNF_FILTER option to JLCPCB. It now excludes
|
||
components added by KiKit to create panels and can be customized.
|
||
- \_KIBOT_PLOT_FOOTPRINT_REFS and \_KIBOT_PLOT_FOOTPRINT_VALUES to
|
||
manufacturer templates. (#523)
|
||
- \_KIBOT_COMPRESS_MOVE to move gerber and drill files to the

- Filters:
|
||
|
||
- New ``_rot_footprint_jlcpcb`` internal filter to fix the JLCPCB
|
||
bottom rotations.
|
||
- New options for the ``rot_footprint`` filters: (See #510)
|
||
|
||
- ``mirror_bottom``: used to undo the KiCad mirroring of the
|
||
bottom.

||
- ``rot_fields``: list of fields to indicate arbitrary rotations.

|
||
offsets.

|
||
bennymeg/JLC-Plugin-for-KiCad tool.
|
||
- ``rotations_and_offsets``: a more flexible mechanism to select
|
||
rotations and offsets. So you can have two different rotations
|
||
applied to the same footprint, i.e. different components with
|
||
the same footprint but different orientation in the reel.
|
||
|
||
- 3D outputs:

Changed
|
||
~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
- Documentation:
|
||
|
||
- Now you can search in the docs
|
||
- Indexed so you can search by topic
|
||
- With a navigation side bar
|
||
|
||
- Variants and filters:
|
||
|
||
- Components only in the PCB are now processed
|
||
|
||
- QR Lib:
|
||
|
||
- Footprints: now they are flagged with exclude from BoM and Pos,
|
||
also with no court yard requirements for KiCad 7
|
||
- Symbol: Excluded from simulation for KiCad 7
|
||
|
||
- Elecrow, FusionPCB, JLCPCB, PCBWay and P-Ban templates now moves the
|
||
files to the compressed output by default.
|
||
|
||
- Note that JLCPCB BoM and Position files aren’t included anymore,
|
||
they are uploaded separately.
|
||
|
||
- Quick Start:
|
||
|
||
- Now we generate only for projects, not separated files. This
|
||
avoids problems for sub-sheets in separated dirs.
|
||
|
||
- Diff:
|
||
|
||
- When *check_zone_fills* is enabled now we do a refill for the
|
||
boards

name of a temporal, generating problems with the plot outputs,
|
||
like pcb_print
|
||
- Project options not preserved, i.e. set_text_variables failing
|
||
- Bottom QRs should be mirrored in the Y axis
|
||
|
||
- Diff
|
||
|
||
- ``current``: didn’t apply global variants
|
||

Added
|
||
~~~~~
|
||
|
||
- General:
|
||
|
||
- OS environment expansion in ${VAR}
|
||
- Now outputs can request to be added to one or more groups (#435)
|
||
- PCB text variables cached in the PCB are now reset when the config
|
||
uses ``set_text_variables``. This is a complex dilemma of KiCad
|
||
6/7 policy implementation. See `KiCad issue
|
||
14360 <https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/14360>`__.
|

|
||
(See #436)
|
||
|
||
- Global options:

|
||
state. (See #443)
|
||
|
||
- Filters:

|
||
and put it in separated fields. I.e. tolerance, voltage, etc.
|
||
- New ``spec_to_field`` to extract information from the distributors
|
||
specs and put in fields. I.e. RoHS status.
|
||
- New ``generic`` options ``exclude_not_in_bom`` and
|
||
``exclude_not_on_board`` to use KiCad 6+ flags. (See #429)
|
||
|
||
- Internal templates:
|
||
|
||
- JLCPCB_with_THT and JLCPCB_stencil_with_THT: adding THT
|
||
components.
|
||
|
||
- New internal filters:
|
||
|
||
- ``_value_split`` splits the Value field but the field remains and
|
||
the extra data is not visible
|
||
- ``_value_split_replace`` splits the Value field and replaces it
|
||
|
||
- Internal templates:
|
||
|
||
- CheckZoneFill: Used to check if a zone fill operation makes the
|
||
PCB quite different (#431)

|
||
Changed
|
||
~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
- Command line:
|
||
|
||
- ``--list`` also lists groups
|
||
|
||
- KiCad v6/7 schematic:
|
||
|
||
- When saving an schematic the hierarchy is expanded only if needed,
|
||
i.e. value of an instance changed
|
||
|
||
- List actions:
|
||
|
||
- Now you must explicitly ask to configure outputs. Otherwise isn’t
|
||
needed. As a result you no longer need to have an SCH/PCB. Use
|
||
``--config-outs`` to get the old behavior.
|
||
|
||
- Git diff link file name:
|
||
|
||
- Now we default to using worktrees instead of stash push/pop. As a
|
||
side effect the names of the git points are changed. This is
|
||
because main/master only applies to the main worktree. So the
|
||
names now refer to the closest tag.
|
||
|
||
- JLCPCB_stencil: Is now just like JLCPCB. The only difference is the
|
||
added layers.

|
||

the variant. (#103)
|
||
- Support for variants on KiCost output. (#106)
|
||
|
||
- Expansion patterns:
|
||
|
||
- **%g** the ``file_id`` of the global variant.
|
||
- **%G** the ``name`` of the global variant.
|
||
- **%C1**, **%C2**, **%C3** and **%C4** the comments in the sch/pcb
|
||
title block.

|
||
- Now patterns are also expanded in the out_dir name.

|
||
|
||
- Default global ``dir`` option.
|
||
- Default global ``units`` option.
|
||
- Global option to specify ``out_dir`` (like -d command line option)
|
||
- Global options to control the date format.
|

||
- Internal BoM:
|
||
|
||
- option to avoid merging components with empty fields. Is named
|
||
``merge_both_blank`` and defaults to true.
|
||
- when a ``Value`` field can’t be interpreted as a ``number+unit``,
|
||
and it contain at least one space, now we try to use the text
|
||
before the space. This helps for cases like “10K 1%”.

- 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``

- 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.

- 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.
