It appears to be releases as it is available for download. I expect they haven’t gotten to the blog update yet.

1.0.6

Changelog for Version 1.0.6

New Features and Enhancements

  • Adafruit Parts Bin: Added dedicated parts bin with 83 Adafruit components including sensors, displays, breakout boards, and development modules.

  • Generic IC Improvements: Added multiline label support with improved font system (Noto Sans + OCR-Fritzing-mono), standardized pin spacing to 1 unit in schematic view, and enhanced text wrapping that respects spaces, newlines, and non-breaking spaces (U+00A0 and U+202F).

  • Performance: Implemented optimizations for smoother interactions and faster load times, especially noticeable with complex multi-board projects and large parts databases.

  • Ground Fill: Added warnings when ground fill cannot connect due to missing paths. Improved ground fill split detection with better warnings.

  • Export: Improved Gerber export now enabled by default. Fixed IPC netlist issues with buses. Fixed PNP export random ordering.

  • Hide obsolete parts in search results.

  • Always bundle contrib folder parts with sketches to ensure completeness when sharing.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed ground fill adding shorts across power supplies.

  • Fixed parts palette going missing in certain scenarios.

  • Fixed straightening lines being disabled in schematic view.

  • Resolved error messages being too large to close.

  • Improved center-to-screen (Ctrl+0) functionality.

  • Fixed dark mode font color inconsistencies in upload screen.

  • Fixed splash screen vanishing when clicked on Windows.

  • Improved metadata editor with proper labels.

  • Fixed incorrect version display from 1.0.5.

  • Corrected selection behavior - selecting parts with selection squares now properly focuses them in the inspector.

  • Fixed regenerate parts database not clearing search cache.

  • Improved SVG text element handling for dy attributes.

  • Resolved issues with off-grid component movement on PCB view.

  • Improved pad selection behavior in PCB view.
