LibrePCB 1.0.0 Released

Posted on by

The 1.0 version of the LibrePCB
“free, cross-platform, easy-to-use electronic design automation suite to draw schematics and design printed circuit boards“.
As noted in a blog post back in May, a grant has helped spur development of the tool.
The focus for the release has been in adding features that were needed so that “there should be no show stopper anymore which prevents you from using LibrePCB for more complex PCB [printed circuit board] designs“.
New features include a 3D viewer and export format for working with designs in a mechanical computer aided design (CAD) tool, support for manufacturer part number (MFN) management, and lots of board editor features such as
thermal relief pads in planes, blind & buried vias,
keepout zones, and more. [Thanks to Alphonse Ogulla.]

[$] The PuzzleFS container filesystem

Posted on by

The last year or so has seen the posting of a few new filesystem types that
are aimed at supporting container workloads. PuzzleFS, presented at the
2023 Kangrejos gathering by Ariel
Miculas, is another contender in this area, but it has some features of its
own, including a novel compression mechanism and an implementation written
in Rust.

Kernel prepatch 6.6-rc3

Posted on by

The third 6.6 kernel prepatch is out for
testing.

Unusually, we have a large chunk of changes in filesystems. Part of
it is the vfs-level revert of some of the timestamp handling that
needs to soak a bit more, and part of it is some xfs fixes. With a
few other filesystem fixes too.

The multi-grain timestamp changes turned
out to cause the occasional regression (timestamps that could appear to go
backward) and were taken back out.
