Great news: The #LibrePCB project receives a second grant from the NGI0 Commons Fund!

The goal of the next year will be to work on LibrePCB 2.0. Planned key updates include schematic buses, KiCad library import, interactive HTML BOM, and several other features.

Additionally, we are planning to slowly move from C++ towards #Rust. Right now, we are experimenting with a rewrite of the complete UI using the Slint framework.
