Backplane KiCad 10.0.6-2

Backplane’s public KiCad 10.0.6 fork, built from 1c193606eddedbf98f8c9af5100b5e8f79da603d.

Includes the full KiCad editors and CLI, official symbols, footprints, 3D models, and templates. Extract the Linux x64 runtime and run bin/kicad for the full editor or bin/kicad-cli api-server for headless IPC.

This release expands PCB/schematic IPC, adds footprint document support, and fixes symbol-data loss, headless layer/origin/zone operations, document handling, and save-copy behavior. Native files remain compatible with stock KiCad 10.0.6. Keep adjacent .backplane.json files with your designs to preserve custom properties and added line endings.

Validated with 12 IPC regression suites, 39 mutation classes, all 21 export jobs, and independent stock 10.0.6 save/reopen and ERC/DRC checks. Interactive canvas operations still require the GUI; ERC/DRC runs through kicad-cli.

Matching KiCad and library source archives, licenses, and SHA-256 checksums accompany the runtime.

Backplane KiCad 10.0.6-1

Linux x86_64 runtime for Backplane, based on the official KiCad 10.0.6 release with PCB and schematic IPC patches.

Includes KiCad, its runtime dependencies, symbols, footprints, 3D models, project templates, first-launch library tables, and licenses. The four official library repositories are pinned to their 10.0.6 revisions.

The matching KiCad source and four hydrated library source archives are attached. The runtime manifest records source commit 75e38b910c5788c2e47ad61fe37692dbd3625c15; dependency notices record their package versions and source locations. SHA256SUMS covers every archive.

Verified after relocation: PCB and schematic IPC editing and persistence, BOM and SVG export, board GLB export, standard symbol and footprint loading, and a GLB containing a bundled STEP model mesh.

This Ubuntu 24.04 build uses OCCT 7.6. GLB export of VRML-only component models requires STEP substitutes; the normal KiCad 3D viewer has its own VRML importer.

For the complete application, use the Backplane installer.
