WayriCAD 3.5.0 adds QuickTherm as a direct PCB Editor action in the Quick PI package. Its own icon opens the thermal workspace, where you can map saved component power and thermal-resistance fields, inspect top/bottom and layer views, and export results. Optional board models include explicit copper, dielectric, via, airflow, radiation, heatsink, and mounting-boundary inputs. Quick PI also gains a visual series-path editor, fixed and current-dependent diode drops, and return-path screening.

This release contains 16 independently installable KiCad 10 PCM packages. Quick PI exposes both WayriCAD Quick PI and WayriCAD QuickTherm actions. Published 3.4.0 assets are unchanged.

Validation: all eight GitHub CI jobs passed on the merged source commit 52038ca; native KiCad 10.0.6 opened QuickTherm with its icon and thermal tab, and a saved-board 1 W × 40 K/W test at 25 °C returned 65 °C. All 16 PCM ZIPs passed schema, entrypoint, icon, syntax, and SHA-256 checks; the wheel smoke test passed.

QuickTherm reports steady-state screening estimates, not CFD, transients, or coupled electrothermal simulation. Enter verified material and boundary values and review the QuickTherm user guide before interpreting board temperatures.
