A new release of the free PCB design automation package LibrePCB 1.3.0 has been announced. LibrePCB is positioned as an intuitive package for rapid board development, which lags behind KiCad in functionality but is much easier to work with, catering to the needs of both beginners and professional engineers. The program is available in builds for Linux (Flatpak, Snap, AppImage), FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows. The project code is written in C++ (with a Qt interface) and is distributed under the GPLv3 license. <\/p>\n

Notable features include integration of schematic editors and project management tools in one package; a simple cross-platform graphical interface based on Qt; the application of the concept of a 'smart' elements library; the use of formats for manual parsing of element libraries and projects; the Multi-PCB mode for parallel development of different board variants based on one schematic; and automatic synchronization of the netlist between the schematic and the board layout. The program is equipped with a multilingual interface supporting Russian (96% translation coverage) and Ukrainian (91% translation coverage), allowing for element names in different languages. <\/p>\n

LibrePCB includes a project management interface; an electronic schematic editor; a multi-layer printed circuit board editor; a service for generating data for the start of production; a command line utility librepcb-cli for automating routine tasks (e.g., data validation and exporting); a library of electronic components with navigation through a tree-structured categorized list. There is an interface for connecting various existing component libraries, which can be added both in the form of archives and through integration with repositories. It supports the import of DXF files and export in PDF, SVG, and CSV BOM formats, pick&place X3\/CSV, Gerber\/Excellon, and STEP. <\/p>\n
