Version 2016.12 was just released!!

NEW / ENHANCED:
Library Editor:
Added a new column to all FPX files at the end called “Date” when selecting “New FPX”
When you add a new part to FPX, the Date is auto-populated if the Date column is present
When you update an existing part and update FPX the Date will reflect the new Date & Time
Existing FPX files must have the Date column manually added if you want this feature
If you create a New FPX and don’t want the Date column, RMB > Delete > Column
Updated SM, BGA, TH and Sample FPX files with a Date / Time column
Altium:
Added a new translator option for outputting Stroke Text Font

FIXED:
Calculator:
Updated Footprint Naming convention for parts with Thermal Tabs. The L X W was backwards.
To update your FPX file Footprint Names select – “Tools > Regenerate Library > Names”
Added the DPAK Thermal Tab data to the Footprint Name
SON with Thermal Tab produced an incorrect Thermal Pad when building the footprint in Batch Build (instead of Build Part)
FP Designer:
When adding a FP Designer part with a Thermal Pad to FPX, the program was changing the 50% Paste Mask Reduction to 100%
When naming a Footprint with Case Code, the program now replaces periods with an underscore _ and lower case letters with UPPER case
CAD Tool Translators:
Not outputting the Triangle Polarity Marker
Allegro/OrCAD PCB:
Fixed an issue with D-Shape pad pin text coming out upside down when the Pad was rotated
D-shaped Pads now have their pin number rotated properly for 180 and 270 degrees to match what is done with the symmetrical pads. This will cause a D-Shaped Pad Stack to be created for each rotation.
When you map Component Outline to PLACE_BOUND_TOP, Poly Component Outlines will now properly be built as shapes rather than lines
