PCB
#30060 Added support for SOLIDWORKS19 part files (*.SldPrt) (BC:11553).
#32108 Fixed an issue where it was not possible to place inner-layer stacked uVias if there was a component pad present in that location on a surface layer.
#33390 Fixed an issue where a catastrophic failure would sometimes occur when cancelling the command during interactive routing, on a partially routed net (BC:11428).
#33498 Fixed an issue in the Layer Stack Manager that caused an invalid format message when using values that are smaller than 1oz.
Draftsman

Components Panel
#32089 Fixed an issue in the Components panel, where real-time in-grid searching failed (option is enabled in the Advanced Settings dialog).
#32966 Added support for searching with wildcards in the Components panel.
