KiCAD 9 compatibility

[romain145]

Fixes the change in API in KiCAD 9.
This runs on the following KiCAD version:

Application: KiCad PCB Editor x64 on x64

Version: 9.0.0-rc2-142-g42b9a9604b, release build

Libraries:
	wxWidgets 3.2.6
	FreeType 2.13.3
	HarfBuzz 10.0.1
	FontConfig 2.15.0
	libcurl/8.10.1-DEV Schannel zlib/1.3.1

Platform: Windows 11 (build 22631), 64-bit edition, 64 bit, Little endian, wxMSW
OpenGL: ATI Technologies Inc., AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, 4.6.0 Compatibility Profile Context 21.10.34.230823

Build Info:
	Date: Jan 26 2025 06:17:17
	wxWidgets: 3.2.6 (wchar_t,wx containers)
	Boost: 1.86.0
	OCC: 7.8.1
	Curl: 8.10.1-DEV
	ngspice: 44
	Compiler: Visual C++ 1942 without C++ ABI
	KICAD_IPC_API=ON

Locale: 
	Lang: en_GB
	Enc: UTF-8
	Num: 1,234.5
	Encoded кΩ丈: D0BACEA9E4B888 (sys), D0BACEA9E4B888 (utf8)

And gives this result (I'm not familiar enough with the pluging to know if that's expected or not):

Works for me. Thank you.

Hello,
I am trying to use this plugin in Kicad 9.0 and after getting my schematic ready to use this great plugin I realized it is not compatible with version 9.0. Can someone please give me instructions on how to install this patch? Can this be done within Kicad's Plugin and Content Manager?
Thanks in advance,
Fabian

Hello,
I figured it out and updated the files manually. The plugin works like a charm. Thanks!
