In May 2026, focused on improving resistor footprint handling to support reliable PCB design workflows. Implemented a mapping for supported resistor footprint shorthands in resistorProps, converting imperial footprint names into a standardized format and integrating the mapping directly into the resistor footprint field. Added tests to verify correct mapping and ensure non-generic footprints remain preserved. This work reduces design errors, speeds up footprint selection, and simplifies future footprint standardization.

April 2026 monthly summary: Delivered cross-repo improvements enhancing footprint accuracy, net consistency, dependency stability, and 3D rendering clarity. Focused on reducing design errors, improving validation, and simplifying maintenance with concrete deliverables and tests.

In March 2026, the primary focus for the tscircuit/runframe repository was a proactive dependency upgrade to ensure stability and access to the latest library capabilities. The EasyEDA library was updated from 0.0.252 to 0.0.254, delivering improved features, fixes, and compatibility. This change reduces technical debt, minimizes maintenance risk, and supports upcoming work that relies on the latest library APIs. The upgrade was implemented via the commit 7e8ee348e3a5a0335fe484bac6082ba2b223dc8d (chore: update easyeda (#3017)). There were no customer-reported bugs addressed in this period; the emphasis was on maintainability and forward readiness.
