Hmm. The new scheme is far more regular, allows for a much simpler (read: “less fragile”) implementation, and mimics what we’ll have with the new file format in 6.0. Can one of you say more about the issues it’s causing? The same data is being stored, so I don’t understand how it could

It appears that this has indeed changed which has bitten me on my last two symbol library pull requests. Had to manually edit the library and document files so the root symbol datasheet was correct. We need to change it back to the previous behavior. On 11/20/2018 6:12 PM, Rene Pöschl wrote: >

Is it possible that the datasheet field has been moved to the lib file in the current nightly builds? That would break our testscripts and create unnecessary noise on github. I thought the solution (for v5) has been that the field of the lib file is filled with the one from the dcm file if it
