v1.6.0

Changed

• Downloaded 3D models are no longer discarded.
  They are stored in ~/.cache/kibot/3d
  You can change the directory using KIBOT_3D_MODELS
• License is now AGPL v3, since we are incorporating AGPL code.

Added

• General:
  • Support for groups of outputs
  • Internal templates import
  • Better support for wrong pre-flight options (#360)
  • A mechanism to cache downloaded 3D models
  • Support to download 3D models from EasyEDA (using LCSC codes)
• Global options:
  • field_lcsc_part: to select the LCSC/JLCPCB part field
• New outputs:
  • vrml export the 3D model in Virtual Reality Modeling Language (#349)
  • ps_sch_print, dxf_sch_print and hpgl_sch_print variants of
    pdf_sch_print
  • blender_export exports the PCB to Blender and other 3D formats,
    renders the PCB with impressive quality (experimental)
• New internal filters:
  • _only_smd used to get only SMD parts
  • _only_tht used to get only THT parts
  • _only_virtual used to get only virtual parts
• Variants:
  • Support for multi-boards as defined by KiKit
• Internal templates:
  • FusionPCB: gerber, drill and compress
  • Elecrow: gerber, drill and compress
  • JLCPCB: gerber, drill, position, BoM and compress
  • MacroFab_XYRS: XYRS position file compatible with MacroFab
  • P-Ban: gerber, drill and compress
  • PCB2Blender_2_1: generates a pcb2blender 2.1 file to import on Blender
    (See #349)
  • PCB2Blender_2_1_haschtl: PCB2Blender_2_1 variant for @Haschtl fork.
  • PCBWay: gerber, drill and compress
• Compress:
  • Option to use the output's dir as reference (from_output_dir)
• iBoM:
  • hide_excluded to hide excluded *.Fab drawings.
• PCB_Print:
  • Added a mechanism to create a page for each copper layer. (#365)
• Plot related outputs and PCB_Print:
  • Added support for the KiCad 6 "sketch_pads_on_fab_layers" option. (#356)
• Report:
  • Expansion for KiCad text variables and environment variables (See #368)
• *SCH_Print:
  • Added options to select the color theme and enable background color. (#362)
• SVG:

Fixed

• BoM:
  • pre_transform filers can't be logic filters
• Copy_Files:
  • Problems on KiCad 5 (no 3rd party dir) (#357)
  • Problems with compress output (also Makefile) (#372)
• DOCs
  • annotate_pcb pre-flight missing options (#360)
  • annotate_pcb pre-flight wrong example (#360)
• iBoM:
  • Variant changes to the *.Fab weren't exported.
    Now all 2D variant stuff is applied before calling iBoM (#350)
• PCB_Print:
  • Images not showing in custom frames. (#352)
  • Problems when trying to use groups of layers (i.e. copper)
• Report:
