Version 23.06 was just released!!

 
Fixes & Enhancements:
  • Options:
    • Silkscreen Clearance was only generating 50% of the set value for some component families (QFN & QFP)
    • Added new feature in – Drafting > Assembly > “Add Value to Footprint” check box
  • Calculators:
    • New silkscreen feature for all surface mount component families:
      • Instead of using the center of the silkscreen outline to draw it, the program now uses the inside edge of the outline to ensure the silkscreen is always visible after assembly and it will never be located under a component package
    • TO-92 – silkscreen trimming was not working correctly
    • DFN – added alphanumeric pin name option
    • SOFL – bug causing interference between polarity dot and silkscreen outline
    • QFN – bug that put polarity line in the wrong place
  • Library Editor:
    • Sorting and column width bug in library manager
  • FP Designer:
    • Specifications were not loading Physical Description correctly
  • CAD Tools:
    • Kicad – Translation Non-plated hole descriptor
    • Kicad – Library folder name creator
