[1.4.1] - 2020-06-14

Added

  • --fill_zones/-f option to 'pcbnew_do export' to fill zones before printing.

Changed

  • Filtered errors are displayed as warnings, but ignored.
  • Filtered warnings are displayed as information.
  • When an error/warning is filtered a debug message informs which regex matched.

[1.4.0] - 2020-06-08

Added

  • --errors_filter/-f option to provide a file containing errors to ignore from DRC/ERC.

Added

  • --wait_key/-w option to send the commands step by step (debug)
  • --start_x11vnc/-s option to start a server so we can monitor what's going on (debug)
  • --use_wm/-m option to start a window manager (fluxbox) so we can interact better (debug)

Changed

  • Now we exit eeschema and pcbnew without killing the application.
  • Default record height now is 960.

Fixed

  • Error and Warning dialog detection. Now we use more specific regular expressions.
  • Sometimes the 'Plot Schematic Options' starts with the browse button selected and we must move left.
  • Sometimes the netlist dialog starts with the generation button selected and we move to the plugin button instead. Now we detect it and go back to the generate button.

Added

  • Support for PS, DXF and HPGL to the schematic export.
  • Support for eeschema already running.
  • Support for loading KiCad 4 schematics (asking for Remap symbols)

Changed

  • pcbnew_print_layers to "pcbnew_do export" to be coherent with "eeschema_do"
  • pcbnew_run_drc to "pcbnew_do run_drc" ditto

Fixed

  • --ignore_unconnected of pcbnew_run_drc wasn't implemented.
  • ERC omitted warnings if errors were detected.
  • The project file could be altered, or even lost, during schematic export.

[1.1.6] - 2020-04-23

Fixed

  • Give more priority to the local module instead of the system wide installed.

[1.0.0] - 2020-03-10

Added

  • Option to list all layers to pcbnew_print_layers.
  • Documentation for the new scripts.
  • Debian package files.
  • Different error levels.
  • --version and --verbose.
  • Unified the loggers and made it coloured.
  • Width and height config for the record function.
  • --output_name option to the DRC.
  • Netlist generation
  • Simple BoM (XML) generation
  • Print a PDF containing one or more layers.

Changed

  • Error level of src/pcbnew_run_drc to negative to be more coherent with the run_erc command.
  • Interpreter to Python 3.
  • Renamed the main scripts so they don't include .py in the name.
  • Renamed the "util" package to "kicad_auto" (less generic).
  • Moved the eeschema/export_bom.py functionality to the bom_xml command of src/eeschema_do.
  • eeschema/schematic.py -> src/eeschema_do.py (more descriptive name).
  • Now we keep only the last recorded video.
  • Added creation of a suitable eeschema config, instead of editing the current.
  • Made schematic and output_dir position args (always used).
  • Removed --screencast_dir in favor of --record (+ size).
  • _pcbnew/print_layers.py to src/pcbnew_print_layers.
  • Renamed _pcbnew/run_drc.py to src/pcbnew_run_drc.
  • Made some debug/info message classification to make it cleaner.

  • Suppressed the pcbnew stderr (noissy).
  • Disabled long waits to test for old errors.
  • Adapted to KiCad 5.1.x.
  • Saves the current pcbnew/eeschema config and creates one usable. The originals are restored.

Removed

  • Custom configs. Now they are generated on-the-fly.
  • _pcbnew/generate_svg.py, its functionality can be achieved using pcbnew_print_layers.
  • _pcbnew/generate_gerber.py, kiplot project has a better solution.

Fixed

  • Simplified the copy/paste mechanism used for run_erc. The old one could fail.
  • src/pcbnew* always recorded the session.
  • Adjusted the pcbnew first time-out, for some reason I'm getting huge delays.
  • A test (and wait) for the Xvfb, sometimes is slow and xclip runs before it.
  • clipboard_store rewrite, the old version ignored any errors
  • Made stronger the eeschema config parser.
  • Language set as english + UTF-8 (to run outside docker).
