Hi Adam, I do not see why the change in the library to make it compatible with other CAD packages, and IPC standards is a bad thing. Since the beginning, I always used my own library for diodes because they were broken in the KiCad library. At least now, I will be able to use the "standard” library.
People who are complaining are just whiners. Everybody in the Pro world use pin 1 as the cathode of a diode. Our libraries were backward god knows why. We should thank the person who took the pain to fix it, instead of whining.
