kinjector 1.0.0

Parameters in one or more JSON or YAML files can be injected into a KiCad PCB file.

Parameters from a KiCad PCB file can be extracted and stored in a JSON or YAML file.

The currently-supported set of parameters can control the design rules, net classes, assignment of netclasses to particular nets, plotting options, and (X,Y)/orientation/top-bottom-side position of part footprints.

Subsets of parameters can be used to restrict the scope of effects upon the PCB.

A script is provided to allow injection/ejection of JSON/YAML data to/from a KiCad PCB file. In addition, the kinjector module can be used within other Python scripts to manipulate KiCad PCB files.

Decided this tool was mature to the point it could be called 1.0.0.

yaml.load() will accept a KiCad board file as legal YAML, so place additional checks to detect yaml files and prevent over-writing .kicad_pcb files with YAML.

Rearranged hierarchy of board data to more closely reflect KiCad board setup dialog.

Added ability to inject/eject plot settings (but not drill settings).

Added ability to inject/eject layer enables and visibility.

Added ability to inject/eject part (X,Y), orientation, and PCB top/bottom-side.

Added ability to inject/eject board design rules.

Now works with both JSON and YAML file formats.

Unit tests added.

Command-line tool added.

Documentation added.

First release on PyPI.
