Post-v7 new features and development news

Graphic shapes (lines, arcs, rectangles, polygons) can now have nets assigned just like tracks.

This allows creating custom copper shapes without having to define them as custom pads inside a footprint.
This is handy for various reasons, for example if you want to define a copper polygon on the board to connect some pads together but don’t want it to be a filled zone (because you do not want it to ever keep clearance from anything like a zone would)
