57

<p>Well, it's been even longer for the 1.2.0 release: fourteen months!
58
+
But at least there's lots of new stuff:</p>
59
+
<ul>
60
+
<li>Part pins can be sorted and retrieved in order using the new <code>ordered_pins</code> property.</li>
61
+
<li>If you don't explicitly declare a footprint for a <code>Part</code> object, one will get loaded from the default footprint in their symbol definition.
62
+
And if the footprint is still missing, you can define an <code>empty_footprint_handler</code> function to address that. (This defaults to a function
63
+
that logs an error.)</li>
64
+
<li>The <code>generate_pcb</code> function now accepts an optional list of footprint library directories.</li>
65
+
<li>You can now place URLs in the <code>lib_search_paths</code> dictionary to search remote repositories for parts.
66
+
KiCad V6 symbols are found at <code>https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-symbols/-/raw/master</code>
67
+
and V5 symbols are at <code>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols/master/</code>.</li>
68
+
<li>You can create hierarchy in your designs without function calls by using the new <code>Group</code> context.</li>
69
+
<li>The new <code>generate_schematic</code> function creates an editable schematic from a Circuit object. (This only works for KiCad V5 right now.)</li>
