Fritzing 0.9.8

Improvements

Since the 0.9.6 release, we were able to close ~250 issues in our fritzing-app repo.

  • Fixes a regression with generic ICs in Fritzing 0.9.7 #3859
  • Bump up Qt version for Linux builds, we now use 5.15.2 for all platforms
  • Build an AppImage We created an AppImage based on Ubuntu 18.04. Fritzing is now able to run on any system with glibc 2.27 or later.
  • Read single FZP files For parts developers, we added the ability to open an FZP file directly. Fritzing can then bundle the file into an FZPZ. This can ease the workflow for developers who use external editors to create parts.
  • Selection dropdowns are transparent #3848
  • stroke-width not inherited when exporting to Gerber #3843
  • Incorrectly configured fzp file crashes parts editor #3839
  • Invalid .FZP file causes a segfault #3838
  • Error when updating parts #3836
  • Platform, Board and Port menus are a barely readable white on grey on macOS #3833
  • Silkscreen path not appearing in Gerber output #3809
  • Arduino Nano Export SVG Missing #3782
  • GUI is blocked for up to 2 minutes until the check is complete #3677
  • Duplicating a net label in schematic view causes phantom ratsnest connections to appear. It cannot be deleted either. #3340
  • Net label copy bug? #2308
  • Interesting stuff happens when you paste formatted stuff into notes #711

New parts

  • Sony’s Spresense Boards and Camera
