Update 22: Updated plug-ins from release 10.1181.24817 to 10.1271.26245
Date: 19 October 2012
Key highlights
Incremental Unroute
We have included a new feature in PCB Editor for deleting of selected objects (through the shortcut keys Ctrl+Delete), which then selects adjacent routed objects for further unrouting. When single end-of-route object is selected, Backspace shortcut now deletes selection and auto-selects connected singular route object. Each of these shortcuts can be used in a successive manner to incrementally unwind routed paths. View BugCrunch report #916. View wiki info.
New module for output of IDF
This release has the addition of a new plugin “Output - IDF” found in the Output Generators category. This new plugin provides IDF export capability in the OutJob “Export Outputs” section. View BugCrunch report #1363. View wiki info.
Updated FPGA device and vendor tools support
Xilinx ISE v14.2 and Lattice Diamond 2.0 are now supported.
Ultra and micro fineline ball grid array (UBGA & MBGA) devices have been added to the Altera Cyclone4E Nexus driver.

Development updating various modules
The development made for the following tickets required changes to our Run Time Libraries, and as a result require majority of the modules to be updated.
6281 | Auto-increment will now increment trailing numbers that are preceded by a period "." or hyphen "-" for Smart Paste, shift-duplication, designators while placing parts, pins, components, pads, and for SchLib Component Rule Check. View BugCrunch report #1503. |
