CS 1.4 has been released - Now easier than ever to migrate from Eagle™

Of particular note in this release, is the addition of Classes. Within the schematic, Net Classes can be generated using the new Net Class directive and Component Classes are automatically generated for each Schematic Sheet within the hierarchy. Within PCB a new Classes dialog is available on the Home tab in the Design Rules section, and this can be used to create Pad, Polygon, Component, Layer, and Net Classes.
