In addition to fixing known issues, the update includes the following changes from version 1.10:

General

Automatic file backup facility added. When a file is saved, the previous contents of that file (if one exists) is first stored in a backup file with the extension '.~lw'.

Improved operational amplifier simulation.

Several buttons have been removed to simplify the user interface. The buttons removed are new document, text tool, text spelling, navigation and drawing tools. Of these the text tool, text spelling and drawing tools are now available in the Author toolbar, whilst the remainder can be accessed via the main menu bar.

An option to automatically break any connected wires when a circuit diagram symbol is moved has been added to the Symbol tab of the Tools | Options window.

 

Simplified conversion process

To simplify the conversion process, users can now choose to skip all of the complex conversion settings. This is particularly useful for those using the software for the first time.

Livewire now automatically detects the complexity of the board and adjusts the default settings to suit. Simpler boards, for example, will be routed with thicker tracks and larger pads.

The PCB conversion window includes a slider to allow you to easily adjust the size of the board.
