KiCad version 10 is out today! Lots of features, lots of speed. We hope you like it. https://www.kicad.org/blog/2026/03/Version-10.0.0-Released/

a policy enforcing a blanket ban on contributions made with the use of LLMs is not, actually, 'mandating ideological purity'. it is, in fact, the bare minimum to ensure that your project won't be treated as completely radioactive by anyone with morals.

moreover, do not let anyone supporting Appeasement for sam altman and his ilk distract from the point at hand by trying to argue that the use of LLMs is in some way equivalent to choosing a license which allows the project to be used by e.g. defence contractors (i.e., any actual open-source license).

only one of these burns the reputations of those in the commit log to manufacture consent for the slop salesmen.

A very common pattern used in CLI programs that output file paths is to append a line number, and sometimes character position, separated by a colon characters (e.g. `src/main.c:123:20:`), but in X11 the default double-click selection includes the colon character, so you have to manually select the path...

Fortunately in uRXVT you can use the selection perl extension to match these paths with regex:

URxvt.selection.pattern-0: (?<=^|β”‚|┃|β•‘)([A-Za-z0-9_./-]+):[0-9]

And it even supports tmux πŸ˜„
