  • Routing is the PowerLab router's now: you watch it route live in KiCad, with power pours, stitching vias and cleaner tracks
  • One question first: Claude asks whether to route by hand or with the PowerLab router (recommended). After routing it fixes the DRC errors and anything the router left by hand, runs the design review without asking, and then asks you to look.
  • Live routing: with the board open in KiCad, the tracks appear as the router lays them (the pours are unfilled meanwhile and refilled at the end).
  • Cleaner tracks: no corners that serve nothing (wiggles along header pins, bends just before a pad), pads entered at 45° where they aren't fine pitch, no U-turns round vias, and no second track of a net beside the first: later tracks join the earlier ones.
  • Lab copper rules: power rails (3V3, 5V, VBUS…) get a copper pour round their tracks, GND pours join pads with thermal reliefs (solid only for high-current pours), and GND stitching vias are added about every 5 mm.
  • Deleting with KiCad open (#56): deleting tracks, vias and board-outline lines now happens in KiCad's board; before, the tool said it worked and nothing changed.
  • "No board is loaded" (#57): DRC and other tools that read the saved board no longer fail with this while KiCad has the board open.
  • Freerouting removed: the installer no longer downloads Java or Freerouting and removes the old copies (about 120 MB).
  • Update from the panel, or pull, close KiCad and run install.ps1 -Update.
