content: Hey everybody,I'm new to the EEVblog forums, helloI created a new library in EAGLE (version 8.0) yesterday with two devices in it, but for some reason, EAGLE started to crash every time I try to edit the devices.. Editing the symbols and using them works, but editing devices doesn't. You grab a copy here (.lbr upload not allowed it seems):https://proper.backfire.racing/share/custom.lbr. Can someone try if it crashes their EAGLE too? I tried EAGLE 8.0.0 and 8.0.1 on Mac. Are there any known workarounds?If it crashed for everybody I have to see if I can get a bug report submitted to that monster of Autodesk I guessThank you

content: Hm, seems to work with an old EAGLE 7 I found too.I just found the Autodesk Forums for EAGLE, but once I log in it just redirects me to an error page in an infinite loop. Oh well Autodesk, can you please not break all the things...

content: Hi markus-k,The library editor problem has already been reported and we are working to get a speedy fix out. It doesn't affect all Mac users, so it's been a bear to reproduce. In the future, it's probably better to report issues to the Autodesk EAGLE forum. Make sure that you have an Autodesk account in order to be able to post there.Hope this helps.Best Regards,Jorge Garcia

content: Thank you Jeorge, already posted it on the Autodesk forums. Didn't realize they have a support forum for EAGLE at first, then it didn't want me in, but got it now. Good to know they are working on a fix.

Please ask the devs to stop implementing features for a bit and work on fixing the stability and all the things that broke in v8. IMHO v8 was released before it was stable enough to do so and when combined with the contentious licensing change it makes it all that much harder for people to accept. Please take a step back and fix the foundations so we can move forward with something reliable.Best Regards,Rachael

content: Yep, the issue persists in 8.0.2. Seems to be a tricky one to reproduce according to Autodesk staff on the Autodesk forums.
