The name EAGLE is an acronym, which stands for EasilyApplicable Graphical Layout Editor. This award winning software offers user friendly, powerful and affordable solutions for PCB design, including Schematic Capture, Board Layout and Autorouter. User Language Programs enable features such as simulationand 3D-visualization.
XML database structure redesign… Read, edit and parse the data outside of the EAGLE tool
The new XML database structure provides the ability to write scripts that manipulate designs in the EAGLE format which will give users huge productivity benefits. You can make design changes, import information from other designs, and even translate from other formats. EAGLE is one of the first Commercial CAD Programs that adopts a ASCII XML data structure as their native file. This makes EAGLE the most flexible, user friendly and productive PCB tool on the market.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I’d much rather they offered the free licences as having unlimited board size but say, limited it to just 2 layers. Since when is a hobbyist going to need a 6 layer board?
What I think is even more impressive is that Eagle 6 now supports differential and length matching traces. FPGA design here I come!
The hobbiest license has existed for a while. I used one for school projects until I decided to start my own company, which is when I purchased the standard license.
Is this “Hobbyist” license a new thing? I read 6 layers 160x100mm. (http://www.cadsoftusa.com/shop/eagle-hobbyist-and-education/?language=en).
I’ve always downloaded the free lite version before and only got 2 layers and a much smaller board limitation.
