- Fixed an abnormal termination when Allegro is installed but the allegro.ilinit file is missing.

- Fixed missing BoardOutline/Cutout during Allegro Import.

- Improved PADS to Allegro Export so that parts with only NTH pins are no longer recognized as Mechanical parts.

- Improved Allegro conversion so that if the file name or folder name contains 2-byte characters, a message is displayed and the user is prompted to reselect.

- Improved and reduced some Memory Leaks during Allegro Import and Export.

- Improved Allegro Export so that Design_Outline and Cutouts are visible.

Xpedition Update

- Fixed an issue where Pads with a specified layer were not shown when Default Inner Pads were missing during Xpedition Import.
