    • Added Axial Lead Non-polarized (bidirectional) Diodes
    • Dip Socket – fixed the auto-generated polarity line marker

    • Added a Secondary Reference Designator has been added that can be used for Assembly. You can change the height of this designator by setting the Assembly Ref Des Height preference and you can turn it off by changing the Assembly Ref Des Height to 0.00.
    • Added an option ‘Use Mask Expansion Rules’. Disabling this option will prevent the default expansion rules from being used for Solder Mask and Paste Mask should the expansion be 0. This will provide a WYSIWYG 1:1 building of the Mask to the Pad if no expansion is used.

    • Fixed an issue that was causing the header of the .plx to suppress and not import.
  • Altium
    • Reference Designators now properly account for extended Mechanical Layers.
  • Pantheon:
    • Fixed an issue with oval slotted holes. A diameter the length of the short side is used for a circular drill. Turning it into a full oval slot is currently a post-process by the user.
