The new EAGLE beta version 5.7.1 is now available for download.
Please see
http://www.cadsoft.de/betatest.htm
for details about how to get, install and use it.
For those who don't want to download the entire installation
archive, there are *-changed.zip files in
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/betatest
that contain only the files that have changed since the last
beta version.
The changes since version 5.7.0 are:
- Fixed handling UL_VIA.diameter[] for LAYER_TSTOP and LAYER_BSTOP, in case
the via's drill is not greater than the value defined in "Design
Rules/Masks/Limit" and the via's VIA_FLAG_STOP is set (in which case
0 was returned instead of the actual diameter).
- Fixed making sure that every #include file in a ULP is processed only once.
- Fixed a possible crash with large Autorouter jobs on Mac OS X.
- Added a note to the README file about Mac OS X version 10.4 being the
minimum system requirement for the Mac version of EAGLE (was forgotten
in version 5.7.0).
- Fixed handling existing exclamation marks in names when updating files
from versions before 5.0.
- Fixed using the selected technology in the REPLACE command.
- When a board is loaded, any leftover empty signals are now deleted
automatically.
- Fixed wrongful unsmashing of parts on the source sheet after moving a
group to an other sheet.
- Fixed setting the used signal layers after creating a new board from
a schematic.
- Fixed reactivating snapping after starting a transparent command while
the GROUP command is active.
- Fixed EXPORT IMAGE in monochrome with colored background.
- SET SNAP_LENGTH now accepts units.
- Fixed redrawing attributes if only their name has been changed.
- Fixed a crash when zooming far in to a mirrored text with non-vector
font on Windows.
- Fixed displaying combo boxes on Windows with "extra large fonts".
- Fixed wrongfully adding a wire to an existing signal if the wire is placed
at a point where a connected SMD pad exists on a different layer.
- The PRINT command now always sets the default output file name to that of
the currently loaded file when printing to a PDF or Postscript file.
- CadSoft now provides an EAGLE "Freemium" license, which is valid
for a limited time, and is more powerful than the Freeware license.
See http://www.newark.com/eagle-freemium-tmp for more information.
- Added a note to the online help of the POLYGON command, recommending to
leave the Isolate parameter at 0 to avoid problems during manufacturing.
- The total thickness of the layer setup in the Design Rules is now
displayed with the unit defined in SET Interface.PreferredUnit.
- If the ATTRIBUTE command is used with the invalid syntax
ATTRIBUTE <partname> <attributename> (x y);
a "Missing attribute value" error is now given.
- The Standard edition of EAGLE can now handle 6 signal layers.
- Fixed a missing confirmation in the schematic when changing the value of
an attribute that has the 'constant' option set in the library.
- Fixed a possible crash when doing an UnSmash on the last element in a
board that contains no signals, and where the element has attributes.
- Fixed artifacts in combo box lists on Mac OS X 10.6.
- Added a note to the "Attributes" section of the online help for the
TEXT command, saying that there should be only one placeholder text
per attribute name in any given symbol or package.
- The "Help/EAGLE License..." option now allows the user to choose between
using a customized license file, the Freeware or the Freemium license.
- Fixed a possible crash when printing to a PDF file on Mac OS X 10.4.
- Fixed displaying local attributes in the schematic in case there is
a global attribute with the same name.
A detailed description of all changes can be found in the files
UPDATE and HISTORY.beta that come with the betatest archive.
