   Version 2017.02 was just released!!
NEW / ENHANCED:
Library Expert Lite
Removed pin quantity limits
Calculator:
Axial Lead Pitch is now auto-calculated
Added Thermistor component family to Radial Disk and Radial Disk w/Offset Leads
Updated Footprint Name for TO92. Added a dash – after TO92- to conform to the standard.
Added new component family - Diodes, Non-polarized, Dual Flat No-Lead
FP Designer:
Add new “Via” tab in Pad Stack Designer to insert a Via matrix to Thermal Pads
Now supports Contour Courtyards
Added “Via” as a terminal type
Calculator and FP Designer Drafting Icon - changed text "Polarity Symbol" to "Drafting Symbols"
Added Legend Bottom
Added Assembly Drawing Bottom
Preferences:
Courtyard feature to define separate excess distances for package body and pad

When working in Mil Units, the user can now select fractions of a mil option
POD:
Search by Case Codes

FIXED:
FP Designer:
Fixed an issue when a part has multiple pins with the same pin name
No more hole offsets in pad stacks (because some pad tools can only handle pad offsets).  This will effect some FP Designer parts if they were made with hole offsets.
Through-hole parts with pin rotations that weren’t 0, 90, 180 or 270 had hole-slot rotations that didn’t match the pad rotation
Automatic courtyard perimeter wasn’t conforming to pad stacks with pad offsets or were associated with pins with orientations that weren’t at 0, 90, 180 or 270.
Altium:
Remove progress bar when part is completed
When creating 3D STEP from FP Designer now sets to center origin
KiCAD Interface:
It was disabled in Library Expert Lite
PADS to CAD:
Fixed an issue in PADS V4 Decal files dealing with parsing texts.
Fixed an issue when converting non-plated holes with 0 width pads.
Preferences
When setting units to MILS did not set it for FP Designer
