You can obtain the latest keyguard designer (and the openings_and_additions.txt file) here, along with a complete list of all changes made to the software.  The key changes are described below.

You may be confused if you upgrade to version 67 & 68 from version 66 or before.  The most common confusion we see is this…

You have a design that is working fine, but when you upgrade to the latest keyguard designer, you see something like this:

Or worse, you see something like this:

Don’t worry.  Your original layout is just a couple of steps away…

Changes you’ll find in version 68:

• We’ve introduced a new way to specify the height and width of your cell openings – using pixel measurements.  To keep things as clear as possible, we’ve changed the names of the two existing measurements from “cell height” and “cell width” to “cell height in mm” and “cell width in mm”.   If you are upgrading from version 67 to version 68, you need to perform a simple update to your “json” file to preserve these values in any Presets you’ve created.  The instructions are here.  If you’re upgrading from version 66 or before, you will first need to update your “json” file to be compatible with version 67 based on the instructions in the next section, and then make the simple change to take your “json” file to version 68.
• We’ve added greater precision (0.1 mm) to millimeter measurements that might require extra precision.
• We’ve added support for a manual circlular ridge (cridge).
• We’ve added support for a manual rectangular ridge (rridge) that is anchored in the center.

Changes you’ll find in version 67:

• This version of the designer introduces a fundamental change to grid-layout design. At the same time, the names of a few Customizer options have changed to match this new approach to grid design. If you are upgrading to this version of the designer, it’s important for you to understand these changes, which are documented here.
• Instructions in the openings_and_additions.txt that create circular openings now use the “height” column to specify the diameter of the circular cut.  In previous releases, the “width” column was used.  By using the height column, these instructions can easily be modified to convert rectangular openings to circular openings.  You will need to make this modification to any designs where you add circular openings to your keyguard via instructions in the openings_and_additions.txt file.
• The option in the Bar Info section of the Customizer to “add rounded corners for strength” option with a “bar corner radius option” for simplicity and greater control over your design.
