Hi Ben, You probably saw my comments in the bug that 0002 has already been addressed. Could you change the opening and closing braces to be on their own line in 0001? (The rest matches our coding standard so I assume you found it, but if not: http://kicad.readthedocs.io/en/stable/Documentatio

Hi Seth, I’m pretty sure the status bar still uses the quick method of determining unconnected (now unrouted). I investigated the code before making the change, but I could have misunderstood something…. Cheers, Jeff. > On 23 May 2018, at 20:31, Seth Hillbrand wrote: > > > ​Hi Jeff- > >

Keep in mind that we haven't removed the ability to use Freeroute. We've just removed the duplicate import/export dialog. We still export SPECCTRA and import session files. The menu options are just under the Import/Export menus with the other external interfaces. -S​ Am Mi., 23. Mai 2018 um

For what it is worth, and despite knowing it is politically incorrect to admit to using an autorouter, I have used Freeroute in the past and would like to continue using it in the future. As much fun as manual routing is (I treat it like a video game) sometimes you just want a board quickly. You
