Changelog for Version 1.0.7

New Features and Enhancements
  • Native Apple Silicon: macOS builds now include a universal binary with native ARM64 support, delivering significantly improved performance on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4) without Rosetta translation.
  • Qt 6.8.3 Upgrade: Upgraded the underlying Qt framework from 6.5.3 to 6.8.3, bringing improved rendering, better platform support, and numerous upstream fixes.
  • Performance: Part icons are now loaded from the database and cached, with lazy SVG loading and QCache-based caching. This results in noticeably faster startup and smoother scrolling through parts bins.
  • Adafruit Parts Library: Imported around 300 additional Adafruit parts, expanding the Adafruit parts bin further.
  • Parts Storage: User-created parts are now stored in subfolders organized by module ID under the application data location, avoiding filename conflicts and improving portability. Full file paths are no longer stored in sketch files. #4188
  • Part Swapping: Obsolete parts are no longer offered in the inspector swap combobox, reducing confusion when selecting component variants.
  • Preserve capacitance values when migrating obsolete capacitor parts.
  • Preserve recent file list across version upgrades.
  • Added generic small 6V solar panel to the parts library.
  • Updated OCR-Fritzing-mono font to 3.004 with ground, celsius, and fahrenheit glyphs.
  • Updated translations for German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, and Portuguese.

Known Issues

This release introduces major framework updates (Qt 6.8, C++20), performance improvements, rendering changes, and native Apple Silicon support. Config migration, file saving, and part management have received significant changes. We tested thoroughly, but these changes are riskier than our usual releases.
