</h2>
<div class="entry-content">
<p>It's been nearly <em>two years</em> since the last release.
The 1.2.0 release has these user-facing changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Something that has been requested for years: SKiDL can now <a href="generating-editable-schematics-2023-07-14.html">generate an editable schematic</a>
from a <code>Circuit</code> object. (Currently only works for KiCad V5.)</li>
<li>The <code>Group</code> object allows you to create hierarchy without using function calls.</li>
<li><code>generate_pcb</code> now takes an optional list of footprint library directories.</li>
<li>If not explicitly declared, <code>Part</code> objects will load the default footprint from their symbol definition.</li>
<li>You can specify an <code>empty_footprint_handler()</code> that logs errors for parts missing footprints by default but can be overridden by the user.</li>
<li>Symbol libraries can now be searched on remote repositories by placing the URL in the <code>lib_search_paths</code> dictionary.
KiCad V6 symbols are found at <code>https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-symbols/-/raw/master</code>
and V5 symbols are at <code>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols/master/</code>.</li>
<li><code>Part</code> pins can now be sorted and retrieved in order using the <code>ordered_pins</code> property.</li>
