The 1.0 version of the LibrePCB “free, cross-platform, easy-to-use electronic design automation suite to draw schematics and design printed circuit boards” is out. A grant this year helped spur development of the tool with the focus for the release being adding features that were needed so that “there should be no show stopper anymore which prevents you from using LibrePCB for more complex PCB (printed circuit board) designs”.
New features include a 3D viewer and export format for working with designs in a mechanical computer aided design (CAD) tool, support for manufacturer part number (MFN) management, and lots of board editor features such as thermal relief pads in planes, blind & buried vias, keepout zones, and more.
