# Fritzing 1.0.8 Released

Hi everyone,

Fritzing 1.0.8 is out. This release speeds up everyday editing, adds a native Linux ARM build, and makes part updates safe.

## Highlights

- **Multi-selection Inspector** : edit several selected parts at once, with common values, package swaps, and group editing for wires, holes, and net labels.
- **Part-locking overhaul** : undoable locking, a visible lock symbol that stays out of the way, locked parts no longer swallow clicks, and new PCBs start locked and sticky.
- **Bug markers for broken parts** : broken third-party parts and damage from very old Fritzing versions used to cause silent routing problems. A bug icon now marks the exact part or wire, with a tooltip that describes the problem.
- **Native Linux ARM build** : a new aarch64 AppImage runs directly on a Raspberry Pi. We tested it on Raspberry Pi OS Trixie. It needs glibc 2.39 or newer.
- **Net label styles** : legacy, outside, or connector aligned, with left and right alignment. New labels default to outside.
- **Safe part updates** : we corrected the 5 mm LED footprint. The anode and cathode markings were swapped, a long standing issue, difficult to fix because this part is so widely used. A new Part Migration dialog brings fixes like this into your sketches: it keeps your values and wires, and you can undo it. A separate blog post will explain the LED change.
- **New parts** : the Infineon BLDC Shield (IFX007T), the Infineon XMC4700 Relax Kit, and a community-contributed WS2815 12 V RGB LED strip.
- **Many bug fixes** : crash-recovery data safety, a printer-friendly BOM, paste-mask and via handling, net label widths, simulation stability, and more. See the changelog.

## **OS Requirements**

- macOS: Sonoma or later (Apple Silicon + Intel)
- Windows: Windows 10 64-bit or later
- Linux: glibc 2.35+ (Ubuntu 22.04 or later)
- Linux ARM: glibc 2.39+ (Ubuntu 24.04 , Raspberry Pi OS Trixie, or later)

If you have older sketches lying around, this is a good release to open them in. The Part Migration dialog offers to update their parts. If something breaks, tell us here in the forum or open an issue on GitHub.
