v0.9.0-2

Changed

• Accept debian-nightly as dependency, not just kicad.

v0.9.0

Added

• iBoM output: file name patterns are allowed for the netlist_file option.
• File name patterns: %F is the name of the source file without extension, but
  with the path.
• A hint for pip installations without using --no-compile.
• Support to field overwrite according to variant.
• Support to generate negative X positions for the bottom layer.
• A filter to rotate footprints in the position file (#28).
• The step output now can download missing 3D models.

Changed

• Now position files are naturally sorted (R10 after R9, not after R1)
• Position files in CSV format quotes only the columns that could contain an
  space. Just like KiCad does.

Fixed

• Now we support missing field names in schematic library entries.
• Generic filter include_only option worked only when debug enabled.

v0.8.1

Added

• Internal BoM HTML: highlight cell when hover.
• Internal BoM HTML: allow to jump to REF of row number using anchors.

Fixed

• Internal BoM separator wasn't applied when using use_alt
• Problems loading plug-ins when using pip.

v0.8.0

Added

• The KiBoM and internal BoM generators now support configuring the
  separator used for the list of references.
• Help for filters and variants.
• Support for new pcbnew_do export options.
• Filters for KiBot warnings.
• Columns in position files can be selected, renamed and sorted as you
  like.

Fixed

• KiBom variants when using multiple variants and a component uses more
  than one, specifying opposite rules.
• Problems when using the pdf_pcb_print output and variants to remove
  a component with ridiculous pads that only has solder paste (no
  copper, nor even solder mask aperture).
• Excellon drill output when using unified output and not using default
  KiCad names.

v0.7.0

Added

• Now variants are separated entities. Two flavors implemented: KiBoM
  and IBoM.
• New filters entities. They work in complement with variants.
  All the filtering functionality found in KiBoM and IBoM is supported.
• Most outputs now supports variants. You can:
  • Mark not fitted components with a cross in the schematic
  • Mark not fitted components with a cross in the *.Fab layers of the
    PCB
  • Remove solder paste from not fitted components
  • Remove adhesive glue from not fitted components
  • Exclude components from the BoM (also mark them as DNF and/or DNC
    (Do Not Change))
  • Exclude components from the interactive BoM
  • Remove not fitted components from the STEP file
  • Exclude components from the position (pick & place) file
• Default output file name format and default variant can be specified
  from the command line.

Fixed

• Virtual components are always excluded from position files.
  Note you can change it using the variants mechanism.

v0.6.2

Changed

• Discarded spaces at the beggining and end of user fields when creating the
  internal BoM. They are ususally mistakes that prevents grouping components.

Fixed

• The variants logic for BoMs when a component resquested to be only added to
  more than one variant.
• Removed warnings about malformed values for DNF components indicating it in
  its value.
• Problems with PcbDraw when generating PNG and JPG outputs. Now we use a more
  reliable conversion methode when available.

v0.6.1

Added

• More robust behavior on GUI dependent commands.

Changed

• Incorporated mcpy, no longer a dependency.

Fixed

• Problems when using pip install without --no-compile.
  At least for user level install.

v0.6.0

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.

v0.5.0

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
