LibrePCB 2.0
New UI & powerful features for a future-proof LibrePCB
LibrePCB is a free and open source electronics design automation (EDA) software suite to develop printed circuit boards (PCBs). It runs on all major platforms and aims to be easy to use, while still beeing able to create professional schematics and PCBs. While it is already used productively by people all around the world, the development of new features became to stuck because of limitations of the current UI concept. To pave the way for new features, a completely new UI will be developed with the goal of having a unified, tabbed window as known and proven by many other applications. In addition, a first attempt of moving from C++ to the safer language Rust will help us to benefit from modern technologies. Together with more import/export capabilities, performance improvements and other frequently requested features the outcome will be released to users by a new major version LibrePCB 2.0.
