    • Fixed an issue with Saving My Settings causing an Unhandled Exception Error
  • Options:
    • Added a new Rounded Rectangle feature for through-hole square pads in V2021.17 that caused regression for all SMD and PTH rounded rectangle pads
    • Changing the 'Density level (suffix)' Option, the “Courtyard to Body Excess” and “Courtyard to Pad Excess” didn't update
  • FP Designer:
    • Added Cole switches to the ManufactureList.txt
    • Fixed a Silkscreen on Pad bug in V2021.17 that caused regression for all FP Designer footprint silkscreen outlines
  • Calculators:
    • The master options value for Paste Mask is for Annular Ring and it was set to oversize instead
    • QFP w/Thermal Add Fiducials changed the thermal pad pin number
    • Axial Lead family – the silkscreen did not trim properly when the pads were a close pitch
