Post-v7 new features and development news

Added importers for EasyEDA / JLCEDA, both Standard and Professional editions.

To download STEP 3D models for imported boards, a separate plugin must be used:

  1. Download the latest “PCM Package” from EasyEDA 3D Loader Releases
  2. In KiCad, open “Plugin and Content Manager” > “Install from File…”, choose the downloaded archive
  3. Close PCM.

After importing your project/board, in PCB Editor, click on the plugin icon and then “Download and convert STEP 3D models from JLC”.
