Changelog

All notable changes to the KiCad Custom Design Rules extension are documented here. Format follows Keep a Changelog; this extension adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

[0.1.0] - 2026-06-24

  • IntelliSense completion. Inside (condition "…") / (constraint assertion "…") strings: receiver members after A./B./AB., and receivers + functions at an identifier boundary. While writing rule structure: constraint types after (constraint , layer names after (layer , severities after (severity , categories after (constraint disallow , and the structural keywords. Each item carries type/units or argument shape and a short doc.
  • Hover help: hover a constraint type, property, function, layer, severity, or disallow category for its description and argument/type.
  • The extension is now activated (onLanguage:kicad-dru) and esbuild-bundled. Completion and hover read a single data/api.json stamped with the KiCad version and audit date. The completion/hover logic lives in pure, vscode-free modules covered by unit tests (npm run test:unit, part of npm test).
  • Distinct function highlighting and the publish-workflow PAT-guard fix (from the prior review) ship together with the above.

[0.0.2] - 2026-06-21

  • CI: a Test workflow runs the grammar snapshot tests (npm test) on every push and pull request, so grammar regressions are caught before merge.
  • Retargeted to KiCad 10 stable (10.0.0 shipped 2026-03-20; the 9.0 line ended at 9.0.9). Constraint/function membership re-verified against the 10.0.0 source tag.
  • Grammar test harness: vscode-tmgrammar-snap snapshots lock the tokenisation of every fixture under tests/fixtures/ (npm test), so grammar edits can't silently regress colouring.
  • Snippets added for the constraints that were master-only on KiCad 9 and shipped in KiCad 10 stable: solder_mask_expansion, solder_mask_sliver, solder_paste_abs_margin, solder_paste_rel_margin, via_dangling (no value), bridged_mask (no value). The through_via / blind_via disallow keywords are likewise stable in KiCad 10 (already offered by the disallow snippet).
  • Grammar recognition of the KiCad 11 / master net-chain family — constraints net_chain_length, stub_length, return_path (the latter with its (layer "…") / (net "…") sub-clauses), and functions inNetChain, hasNetChain, inNetChainClass. These are not in KiCad 10.0.0 stable (a 10.0.0 DRC parser rejects them), so they are highlighted by the grammar but deliberately kept OUT of the snippet set — the current grammar-vs-snippet isolation boundary.
  • Initial syntax highlighting for .kicad_dru files: rule blocks, constraints, conditions with A./B. accessors and operators, layers, severities, disallow categories, comments, strings, numbers with units.
  • Snippets for the common rule patterns (clearance, disallow, length, via and track sizing, hole-to-hole, assertion).
  • Language configuration: # line comments, paren matching, paren-based folding, auto-closing pairs.
