   Version 24.03 was just released!!
Fixes & Enhancements:
 New Library Content:
Added link to the PCBPartz, a third party affiliate, for additional library
content; requires separate paid subscription
Options:
SMD terminal courtyard transposed pad and body excess
The orientation image for SON /PSON was updated
Library Editor:
Copy/paste multiple cells not working correctly
Copy/paste Footprint Date was throwing exception error
Utilities > Find Duplicate Entries – now defaults to Part Number
FP Designer:
Creating through-hole pad stacks was not producing the "Solder Mask Top" layer
Rounded rectangle shape produces wrong pad stack name in Pad Stack Manager
Importing a .csv file did not work correctly if you accidentally assigned 2 rows the same value like 2 – "X Coor." Added a popup menu that alerts the user when a column description was already assigned.
CAD Tool Translators: 
The Siemens PADS Standard would not output a .d ASCII file. 
Calculator:
Molded Body – hung up when Nominal dimensions had 0.00 tolerance
Updated silkscreen trimming feature for footprints with large thermal pads
BGA Footprint Name and Physical Descriptions for mirrored parts
Chip LED – changing alphanumeric pins to numeric did not save the change to the FPX library
