Changed in release 2.56 (17th February 2026)
-------------------------------------------

Outline editor :

  o Release 2.50 added the facility to suppress the inclusion of solder paste features on individual outline pins.
    When not manually suppressed, the inclusion of solder paste was determined by a built in rule that eliminated
    the paste feature from pads that were determined to be associated with a through-board hole or slot.

    Recently a requirement to include paste features for these auto-eliminated pins has occurred.
    To cater for this, the "Pad->Omit Solder Paste Pad" menu feature has been replaced with a
    "Toggle Solder Paste mode" function.  When enabled, each left click on an outline pin cycles through
    possible options for solder paste inclusion.

    These are : "Never include", "Top pad only", "Bottom pad only", "Top & Bottom pads" and "Auto".
    The selected mode is displayed by a small symbol within the pin, and a reference key to the symbols is displayed
    on the left hand side of the window.

    Right-clicking on a pin returns its solder paste mode to the default 'Auto' setting.
    No symbol is displayed within the pin when in the default "Auto" mode.

  o Because of various internal changes made in this software release, designs saved with this version may
    only be loaded into XLDesigner 2.56 or later versions.
