      Why you are updating software every month with lots of bugs most of the time. We need to update software about 15 times each year. I think your software testing is not good. Because we are facing so many bugs in each version. It is good if you release 2 or 3 versions in a year by testing all functions.

      A bit more detailed description of custom Preference file change process:

      1. Set "Preferences" > "Console" > "SMD Density Level (suffix)" to "Least (L)"

      2. Change  "Preferences" > "Terminals" > "Gull Wing" > "SOD" > "Density Level" > "Side" from 0.20 to 0.05

      3. Set "Preferences" > "Console" > "SMD Density Level (suffix)" to your original density level

      4. Save Preferences file

      V2017.11 has all known bugs fixed and a new feature for automatically adding Bottom Side "Wave Solder Placement Keep-outs" to through-hole footprints.

      V2017 is very close to the last release this year. We will not add any new features to V2017 (except a very important one coming soon) and that will be it until we release V2018.
