Fixes:

• Exclude DNP components option act only on the BOM now.
• Footprint DNP attribute detection

Features:

• Added option to toggle automatic copper fill.
• Added options to extend Edge.Cuts layer with User.1 layer for V-Cut support.

Fixes:

• Exclude DNP components option act only on the BOM now.

Features:

• Added option to allow automatic component translation.
• Added options storing between sessions.
• Closely following JLCPCB plot recommendations.
• Load layers dynamically.

Fixes:

• footprint without pad handling

Features:

• Added KiCad 8.99 initial support

Features:

• Added option to include extra layers into the gerber.

Fixes:

• DNP flag on KiCad 8

Features:

• Kicad 8 support.
• Automatic translation for known common footprints. ** BREAKING **
• Better positioning of THT components (base of the component centroid rather than pin 1). ** BREAKING **
• Store backups as zip instead of new directories.
• Add footprint override on top and bottom layers.
• Improved generation performance.

Fixes:

• Consistent component rotation between top and bottom layers. ** BREAKING **
• BOM error on big PCB's with more than 200 components of the same value.
• Penalization layer (User_1) export [PlotLayers].

Features:

• Add GUI option to exclude DNP components from production files

Features:

• Allways refill zones before generating a Gerber files

Fixes:

• Board name normalization
• Solder mask clearance (for both v6 and v7)

Features:

• Define User_1 a V Cuts layer. ** BREAKING **
• Added 32 layers support

Fixes:

• Fix bottom side rotation polarity

Features:

• Re-organized output folder to contain standalone production files with version and date codes
• Added 8 layers support

Fixes:

• Rotate CCW on bottom layers

Features:

• Added support for special symbols like Ω & μ in the BOM and CPL files
• Added user comments layer to the gerber
• Ignore parts that are labels a DNP from CPL and annotate that as DNP parts in the BOM (KiCad 7+)

Fixes:

• Merge only part that have the same footprint, value, and MPN

Features:

• Added support for easyeda2kicad generated component

Misc:

• Removed lcsc# key from readme file

Bug Fixes:

• Merge normalized footprint names

Features:

• Added support for component rotation offset
• Added support for component location offset
• Added support for automatic common rotation miss match fix
• Normalize footprint names of resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, LEDs, fuses etc., with the footprint size only

Bug Fixes:

• Prevent crashing when the boards have no components (mechanical boards, RF, etc.)

Features:

• Added initial support for KiCad v7

Bug Fixes:

• Progress bar rendering
