* The Linux version of EAGLE no longer uses libXinerama and libXfixes, because these libraries are not available on all systems.
User interface
* Normally EAGLE doesn’t automatically position the mouse cursor. However, some users want the cursor to be repositioned to the point where it has been before a context menu in the drawing editor was opened. The command
SET Option.RepositionMouseCursorAfterContextMenu 1;
can now be used to get this functionality.
* Shift+Right mouse button now reverses the direction of rotation in commands that rotate objects with the right mouse button.
AUTO command
* Added the options LOAD and SAVE to the AUTO command, which allow loading and saving the Autorouter parameters.
BOARD command
* The default board outlines generated by the BOARD command now start at the origin of the drawing area, and are no longer offset so that they are centered within the 50mil grid.
INVOKE command
* The INVOKE command now displays in the status line the part and device name of the object attached to the cursor.
PASTE command
* The PASTE command now accepts an ‘orientation’ parameter in the command line.
* The PASTE command is no longer a transparent command, because this prevented its parameter toolbar from being shown.
ROUTE command
* When routing an airwire that starts at an already routed wire, the new wire’s width is now automatically adjusted to that of the existing wire if the Shift key is pressed when selecting the airwire.
* The end point of the dynamically calculated airwire is now always used as an additional snap point, even if it is off grid. If the remaining airwire has a length that is shorter than SNAP_LENGTH, the routed wire automatically snaps to the airwire’s end point, and stays there until the mouse pointer is moved at least SNAP_LENGTH away from that point. The SET parameter SNAP_BENDED is now obsolete, but is still tolerated for compatibility.
SET command
* When routing an airwire that starts at an already routed wire, the new wire’s width is now automatically adjusted to that of the existing wire.
* The SET parameter SNAP_BENDED is now obsolete, but is still tolerated for compatibility.
Miscellaneous
* Improved selecting wires of the same signal that are close together.
* Pin names with ‘@’ are now displayed in the previews the same way as in a schematic (with everything after and including the ‘@’ stripped).
Bugfixes
* See the UPDATE file that comes with the installation archive for a list of fixes.
