57249	When using the SCH List panel's Smart Edit feature to batch replace port Name or power port Text, the changes were not being effected after clicking OK. (BC:22086)
57559	The Advanced Settings option "Schematic.ExportPDF.UseBitmapTransparency" is now ON by default.
57975	Back annotation of schematics would result in an error if component designators had been renumbered/re-annotated on the PCB side.
58049	In some cases when performing a validation, the error "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" would be encountered.

PCB

54204	Added support for Automatic Length Tuning, available from the main Route menu.
54762	Added a PCB Layout Replication tool, providing the ability to quickly replicate the layout for repetitive blocks of circuitry in a flat PCB design.
55010	For a specific design, there was a noticeable performance drop where Altium Designer would freeze after repouring all polygon pours and then closing the PCB. (BC:19948)
55543	When running a DRC for a specific design, the error "An invalid character was found in text content" would be encountered.
56601	Added support for pin-to-pin connections as part of the PCB CoDesign feature, making it easier to understand changes and to avoid false conflicts.
57376	For a specific design, false clearance violations were being flagged between a keepout arc and other objects if the former was rotated at a specific angle.
57505	Copper connections were not properly produced under Pads when conductors set to "Auto" in the Polygon Connect Style Rule, resulting in violations of the Un-Routed Net Rule.
57536	When exploding a custom pad whose shape includes a solid region, that region would be created on the Top Layer and not the original layer on which the pad resided.
57557	Mirrored Gerbers were not being shown in the Gerber configuration interface unless the Advanced Setting option (UI.Unification.GerberDialog.ShowMirrorColumn) was enabled. (BC:21812)
57627	For a specific design, tuning the length of one diff pair that violated a Matched Lengths rule led to violations of other diff pairs covered by the rule. (BC:21870)
57717	The 'Compare and Merge' panel has been renamed to the 'PCB CoDesign' panel, in accordance with the official naming of this feature area.
57773	Added a display settings control to the PCB CoDesign panel, giving access to configure whether changes are highlighted on the PCB and whether a selected object is zoomed (and by how much).
57808	While interactively routing, it was not possible to place a stack of microvias under a pad.
57815	When using the PCB CoDesign feature, you now have the ability to quickly toggle between the current state and the state before any changes, using the Shift+B keyboard shortcut.

57919	When via stitching on a multi-layer board, stitching would not be applied correctly if a smaller region of the same stitching net existed on an inner layer. (BC:21987)

Constraint Manager

57966

A new Constraint Manager is available providing a unified, table-based/spreadsheet-like editing interface for defining design constraints from within the Schematic and PCB.

57223	For a selected module entry on a multi-board schematic, making a change to the pin of a mated part was not being refreshed immediately in the Properties panel.

Harness Design

55772	Display of harness connectors in the Draftsman document did not follow the same drawing order as in the Layout Drawing (Wireframe models were being drawn underneath Solid 3D View models).
56249	When adding objects to a connection point in the Layout Drawing, the option to "Show only unassigned objects" is now enabled by default in the Add Assigned Objects dialog.
56388	Crimp assignments can now only be modified in the Wiring Diagram, with the corresponding crimp information grayed-out/non-editable in the Layout Drawing.
57191	When making a parameter for a selected wire in the Wiring Diagram visible, it would appear too far away from the wire.
57221	When inserting a Wiring Diagram/Layout Drawing View into a harness draftsman document, template document margins, zones and title block were also being presented and could not be hidden.
57273	After updating the footprint model (from library) for a harness connector in the Wiring Diagram, that new footprint was not coming across to the Layout Drawing after importing.
57630	When batch updating the colors of multiple selected wires in the Wiring Diagram, the displayed wire coloring changed but the color names did not.

57647	Added ability to the License Management page for an Admin to 'Trade Up' an expired on-demand perpetual license of Altium Designer, quickly upgrading to a newer version of the software.
58123	When launching Altium Designer, a dialog warning of no license usage (when signing in automatically to an on-site Workspace) would appear, blocking startup until acted upon. (I:21947)

Data Management

57321	When generating schematic prints as part of the release process using the Project Releaser, a chosen variant in the OutJob would be ignored, instead using [No Variations]. (BC:19538)
57413	In the Explorer panel, changes made to columns (ordering, visibility) were not being stored, instead reverting back to defaults after a restart of the software. (BC:21750)
57421	An excess HTTP request was being invoked when creating a new component from the File menu.

57587	When connected to an Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server, placing a comment would result in an error because Altium Designer was incorrectly trying to contact Altium Cloud Servers.
57614	When copying component historical data from the Timeline of the Detailed Item View, column names were not being included in the copy.
57994	For a component stored in an Enterprise Server Workspace, attempting to update to its latest revision through the Item Manager would result in the error "Invalid or deleted items".

Import/Export

54748	When importing a specific Xpedition design using the Import Wizard, some signal layers were being incorrectly detected as Prepreg layers.
57508	When importing Xpedition design/library using the Import Wizard, padstacks would be automatically named rather than using their original naming.

57594	When importing an Xpedition library using the Import Wizard, a custom pad shape defined for a specific footprint was being imported as a circle on the Bottom layer.
57595	When importing an Xpedition library using the Import Wizard, custom pad shapes were being imported as independent primitives.
57599	When importing an Xpedition design using the Import Wizard, the imported obstruct area for a specific footprint was being presented as a keepout for tracks only (instead of tracks and vias).
57610	When importing an Xpedition design using the Import Wizard, the assembly 'Ref Designator' and 'Part Number' were being stored as part of the Assembly Outline instead of separately.

57728	It was not possible to place a simulation source from the Mixed Sim toolbar. (BC:21439)
57729	Components in imported designs or those placed from installed Database libraries, are now included in the generated simulation netlist if they have an assigned simulation model.
57730	Mixed simulation can now be configured to use a dedicated thread to improve interface response time during simulation, available when the Simulation.Threads option is enabled.
58207	In some cases when running an AC Sweep analysis, the EOleException "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection..." would be encountered.

57026	The performance of the Item Manager's "Update to latest revision" operation has been greatly improved by grouping components and state requests.
57091	The text in dialogs associated with migration from SVN to Git repositories was incorrect when the target was an Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server. 'Altium 365' is now 'Server.'
57102	It was not possible to refresh the content of the Manufacturer Part Search panel using the F5 keyboard shortcut.

56681	It was not possible to release a component carted (along with template) from another Workspace, when that component template pointed to an unavailable lifecycle definition.
56713	When placing a component from the Explorer panel (using context menu Place), the symbol description will be used instead of the component description if the latter contains the " character.
