Hi folks,

This is simply to warn you that all diodes in KiCad's libraries have seen
their pin numbers swapped. This is to be in line with most other software
and the IPC standard as well, which states that cathode should be pin 1.
This work is courtesy of the newest librarian, Ricardo Crudo.

If you are using Github libraries directly, the only thing you will have
left to do is update your schematic libraries to the latest revision of
https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library before continuing your work. If you
have a local copy of the footprint repositories, then when you are ready
you will be able to pull the changes for both the schematic libraries and
the affected footprint libraries:

1. Diodes_SMD.pretty <https://github.com/KiCad/Diodes_SMD.pretty>
2. Diodes_ThroughHole.pretty
<https://github.com/KiCad/Diodes_ThroughHole.pretty>
3. LEDs.pretty <https://github.com/KiCad/LEDs.pretty>

Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience.

Carl Poirier
