Thanks to @dsa-t it’s now possible to cross-probe select multiple items from the schematic to the PCB (i.e. you can drag-select a block of components in your schematic, and now they will be selected on the PCB for easier placement.

Thanks to Mike Williams, GerbView layer management got a mini-makeover, and can now do a better job of detecting Gerber and drill file formats if they don’t have file extensions. More details in the merge request.

As of commit 0015574a The text variable ${SHEETNAME} now always represents just the name of the sheet (e.g. “Sheet 2”), whereas before if the variable was used in the drawing sheet (i.e. the title block), it would display the path of the current sheet (e.g. “/Sheet 1/Sheet 2/”).
A new text variable ${SHEETPATH} has been introduced which will be replaced by the path of the current sheet (e.g. “/Sheet 1/Sheet 2/”).
A note: users with custom drawing sheets will have to manually edit the drawing sheet definition if they want to continue using the sheet path.
