Build PCM package / build (push) Successful in 7s
macOS is now field-tested and working; the README platform notes say so instead of untested. Linux remains audited-only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The plugin now works on macOS. Results are unchanged from 1.2.2 for
|
|
the same board and settings - nothing in the numerics was touched;
|
|
this release is platform fixes and per-OS documentation.
|
|
|
|
macOS (field-tested on KiCad 10):
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a crash on launch. KiCad's macOS builds bundle Python 3.9,
|
|
and one module's type annotations were evaluated at import there
|
|
("unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'type' and 'NoneType'"). The
|
|
plugin now runs on 3.9, and a test walks every shipped module so
|
|
the incompatibility cannot silently return.
|
|
- Fixed every figure - the error figure included - refusing to render
|
|
with "Cannot load backend 'TkAgg' ... as 'qt' is currently
|
|
running". macOS' bundled Python ships tkinter, so matplotlib
|
|
preferred Tk while the selection dialog had already made the
|
|
process a Qt one. Qt (PySide6, a hard dependency) is now always
|
|
the first choice on every platform.
|
|
- A board in a read-only location - such as the demo projects opened
|
|
straight from the mounted installer image - no longer kills the run
|
|
when the results directory cannot be created next to the board.
|
|
Results fall back to a temp directory and the path is printed to
|
|
the Messages panel.
|
|
- The test suite additionally runs against the stack a Mac plugin
|
|
environment actually resolves (Python 3.9, numpy 2.0, scipy 1.13,
|
|
matplotlib 3.9, PySide6 6.10) - 140 tests on both stacks.
|
|
|
|
Linux:
|
|
|
|
- On ARM64 (aarch64) the plugin environment could never build: pyamg
|
|
publishes no wheels for that platform, KiCad installs wheels only,
|
|
and one unresolvable requirement fails the whole environment.
|
|
pyamg is now skipped there and the solver falls back to Jacobi-CG -
|
|
same results, noticeably slower on large grids. Linux as a whole
|
|
remains untested; reports welcome.
|
|
|
|
Documentation:
|
|
|
|
- Setup now gives dedicated instructions per operating system: which
|
|
interpreter path to check, how to deploy, and where the plugin's
|
|
Python environment lives on Windows, macOS and Linux (for the
|
|
delete-and-restart recovery). A platform-notes section records what
|
|
is actually tested on each OS and what to expect there.
