This is mainly a bugfix release which fixes some usability, compatibility and functional issues of the 0.1.1 release.
Highlights
Support latest build environments
The dependencies quazip, googletest, optional and type_safe were
updated (#476) and some
deprecation warnings were fixed
(#478). Now LibrePCB also
compiles with GCC 9.x and Qt 5.13 without any warnings.
Since we migrated from Travis-CI to Azure Pipelines (#458), CI is now able to build on Ubuntu 19.04 with GCC 9.x to ensure compatibility with recent build environments.
Improved table widgets
The table widgets – especially in the library editor – behaved a bit strange
and sometimes even buggy. After refactoring the implementation of
the observer pattern in low-level classes
(#449), we were able to replace
most QTableWidget tables by QTableView using
Qt’s model/view framework
(#456). This heavily improves
the usability and stability of our table widgets, see details in the changelog
below.
Changelog
Library Editor:
- Rename library overview context menu item “copy” to “duplicate” (#447)
- Preselect pin name when opening symbol pin properties dialog (#453)
Schematic Editor:
- Fix net label offset after mirroring (#451)
Board Editor:
- Fix unintended tool change after double click on footprint (#464)
- Fix inconsistent appearance of polygons between editor and Gerber export (#479)
Miscellaneous:
- Change predefined norms to “IEC 60617” + “IEEE 315” (#455)
- Enable scrolling with both axis when pressing Ctrl (#467)
- Refactor all table widgets using Qt’s model/view framework
(#456):
- Fix application crashes with newer Qt versions when editing table content
- Fix possibly outdated table content when underlying data changes (e.g. on undo/redo)
- Sort tables where reasonable (some tables even allow the user to sort by specific column)
- Slightly improved error handling when entering invalid data into table cells
- In some tables, allow inserting multiple rows at once (e.g. the term “1..5” creates 5 rows, from “1” to “5”)
- Various other small improvements
New languages:
- Turkish (6% translated)
