This update includes bug fixes as well as the following new features:
Integrated Circuit Component
It's now much easier to use any type of integrated circuit in your diagrams
without having to create a custom component.
The new Integrated Circuit allows you to represent circuits with up to 12
pins, by choosing the number of inputs/outputs and pin labels.
Properties Editor Scrolling
You can now scroll down to see the full list of properties available to change
in the properties editor, for components with many options.
Component Format Updates
The format for components now supports more complex conditional statements,
including both and, or and not operators, using a more intuitive syntax.
There is now also the option to sign components using X.509 certificates,
allowing users to verify that the component has not been modified since it was
created by the author.
Please visit the downloads page to download this version.
This is the stable release of Circuit Diagram 2.0 - the improvements from 2.0
Beta 2 are mostly minor changes and bug fixes.

Today sees the launch of the newly designed website. As well as the redesign,
we've added the new circuits page which allows you to share your circuit
designs with other users of Circuit Diagram.
When you upload your circuit in Circuit Diagram's *.cddx format, a preview of
your design will be automatically generated so that people can have a look at
your circuit before they download it.
The forum has also been re-opened, so please share your comments and
suggestions as they really do help decide the future direction of Circuit
Diagram.
As ever, please upload any components you have made to the components page to
help make Circuit Diagram better!
We hope to release the final version of Circuit Diagram 2.0 shortly, so check
back soon.
This release includes a number of changes to make designing circuits easier,
including automatic flipping of components when placing them and dragging from
right to left or bottom to top. Documents can also be resized and there are
many improvements to the use of keyboard shortcuts, including the ability to
delete components by pressing the delete key on the keyboard.
Please see below for the full list of changes.
Windows Explorer Thumbnails
Thumbnails are now shown in Windows Explorer for Circuit Diagram Documents, as
shown in the picture below. This feature has been difficult to get working, and
