  • Prevent changing the name of net 0 when generating a SPICE netlist.
  • Fixed Pin, Net, Bus and Part iterators so they'll work in nested loops.
  • Part units are automatically added when a part is parsed.
  • Files are now opened for reading using latin_1 encoding to allow special symbols used by KiCad.
  • Part pins can now be aliased directly, e.g. uc[5].aliases += 'gp0'.
  • Added class method get() to Part to allow finding a part based on name, reference, description.
  • Refactored ERC functions to allow user-extensibility.
  • Created a base object for Circuit, Part, Pin, Net, and Bus objects.
  • Added an aliases property to the SKiDL base object so all its children could be aliased.
  • Updated to perform simulations with ngspice version 30.
  • Added a notes property to allow attachment of user notes to Parts, Pins, Nets, etc.
  • Added net class to net objects for specifying net-specific design rules in PCBNEW.
  • Ignore multiple pins with the same number in symbols with DeMorgan equivalents.
  • Fixed problem with non-ASCII chars (e.g. Ohms) in strings.
  • Sped-up part/net naming using heap/cache, binary search, sets.
  • Sped-up by storing net traversals to avoid recomputation.
  • Fixed processing of slices in things like sdram['A[0:15]'].
  • Sped-up part_search() by eliminating unnecessary part parsing.
  • Improved schematic generation with graphviz.
  • Search now allows AND/OR of parenthesized terms.
  • New GUI for searching for parts and footprints.
  • Footprint libraries to search are now selected from the global fp-lib-table file.
  • KiCad library component field values are now stored in a dict in Part indexed by the field name or F0, F1, F2...
  • KiCad library component field values are also stored as Part attributes using the field name or F0, F1, F2...
  • Added p and n attributes to Part object to permit explicit reference to pin numbers or names.

  • search command no longer looks in backup library because that leads to erroneous hits in all libraries.
  • Part objects will now iterate through their pins and len() will return the number of pins.
  • Updated netlist_to_skidl utility to account for new version of kinparse.

  • Updated website.
  • KISYSMOD is no longer used to find part libraries, only KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR is used now.

  • Fixed an error where creating a backup part library for a design would create extra pins attached to the nets.

  • Added Network objects to make it easy to create serial & parallel combinations of two-pin parts.
  • SKiDL design hierarchy is now embedded in the KiCad netlist that's generated.

  • Added Interface objects for storing complicated sets of I/O signals for subsystems.
  • ERC no longer redundantly checks every segment of a multi-segment net and reports multiple errors.
  • copy() function of Part, Bus, Pin, Net objects now returns a scalar object while copy(1) returns a list with one object.
  • Bus, Pin, and Net objects now have iterators.
  • Corrected initialization of KiCad library search paths.

  • Added pull() and fetch() methods for getting/creating existing/new Net and Bus objects.
  • Added drive property to pins to override their default pin function attribute.
  • Part pins and units can now be accessed as attributes.
  • Nets, pins, and buses now support the width property.
  • Indexing with brackets now works equivalently for pins, nets, and buses.
  • Grouped part pins (such as address and data buses) can now be accessed using a slice-like notation, e.g. memory['ADDR[0:7]'].
