v0.2.5

Embedr 0.2.5

  • Agents can now make file edits with more reliable patch-based changes and clearer edit results.
  • PCB workflows can now export KiCad schematics and generate fabrication artifacts from KiCad-native boards.
  • The Board tab adds better manual routing, clearer layer controls, improved route status feedback, and one-click board screenshots.
  • PCB and schematic screenshots can now appear directly in tool results so agents can visually check boards and schematics faster.
  • Schematic previews are smoother and more readable, with better wire routing, label placement, and refresh behavior after edits.
  • Fixed several PCB routing, screenshot, tool result, and approval prompt reliability issues.

v0.2.4

Embedr 0.2.4

  • Improved PCB placement and routing automation reliability, including better live progress recovery when you return to a board.
  • Improved PCB automation run status, cancellation handling, revision tracking, and error reporting.
  • Sent richer KiCad project context to the managed PCB automation API by including related schematic files with board jobs.
  • Fixed ChatGPT subscription model streaming so long responses, tool calls, and final messages are less likely to lose accumulated output.
  • Kept PCB netlist inspection lighter and faster for agents by returning compact summaries instead of raw graph payloads.
