CadSoft EAGLE 5.7 released

Following on from the company’s promise to continue to  support and improve CadSoft’s EAGLETm software, Premier Farnell has released  version 5.7 of the popular CAD tool. EAGLETm 5.7 now offers many more features  intended to give the user a more powerful and intuitive  tool.
 
 
Some of  the most anticipated improvements of EAGLETm 5.7 are listed below. For a more  complete list of the changes, go here

         Control Panel:
o        The "View/Refresh" option in the Control  Panel's pulldown menu now has the platform specific hotkey.
·         User Language:
o        The new User Language functions setgroup() and clrgroup() can be used to set  and clear the flags that define whether an object is within the current  group.
o        It is now possible to directly access members  in an array of UL_* objects, as in

UL_SMD smds[];
   ...
if (smds[i].x == smds[j].x)
  ...
·         AUTO command:
o        The AUTO command now supports  selecting signal names by wildcards.
·         BOARD command:
o        Added a consistency check right after a board  is newly created from a schematic, in order to immediately catch any problems  that otherwise might have turned up later on.
·         DELETE command:
o        Pads/smds can now be deleted from a package  in a library, even if the package is in use by a device, as long as the pad/smd  is not referenced by any pin in any device of that library.
o        Pins can now be deleted from a symbol in a  library, even if the symbol is in use by a device set, as long as the pin is not  referenced by any pad/smd in any device of that library.
·         OPTIMIZE command:
o        The OPTIMIZE command now flashes  the selected signal to provide visual feedback to a mouse click.
·         PAD command:
o        The PAD command can now add a pad  to a package, even if that package is in use by a device.
·         PIN command:
o        The PIN command can now add pins to  a symbol, even if that symbol is in use by a device set.
·         PRINT command:
o        The PRINT dialog now contains a  list of all available printers for direct selection. Printing to a PDF or  Postscript file can also be selected from this list.
o        The new option CAPTION of the PRINT command can be used to print a caption from the command line.
o        The PRINT FILE command now refuses to write any of the file extensions  .brd.sch.lbr.gpi.dri.whl.drl.ulp.epf.cam.scr.exe.com.bat.cmd.sys.dll, to make  sure files are not overwritten inadvertently.
·         RATSNEST command:
o        The context menu of wires and vias that  belong to a signal now contains the RATSNEST command.
·         ROUTE command:
o        The Follow-me router now uses the via  diameter as set in the parameter toolbar.
·         SMD command:
o        The SMD command can now add an smd  to a package, even if that package is in use by a device.
·         CAM  Processor:
o        Added CAM Processor driver GERBER_RS274X_25  with 2.5 inch coordinate format.
·         Miscellaneous:
o        Improved the performance of recalculating the  ratsnest in the board after an ADD, DELETE or PASTE command in the schematic,  in case many pins are processed that are connected to the same  net.
o        The color index in the dxf.ulp now starts at  1, since AutoCAD 2007 doesn't like color 0.
o        Implemented the placeholders >SHEETNR and >SHEETS to make the sheet  number and the total number of sheets in a schematic available  separately.
