PcbCliTool 0.2.4 rebuilt the same EasyEDA Pro board example on Windows, Apple-silicon macOS, and Linux, then compared the electrical result instead of demanding byte-identical project files. The release checked 289 components across eight schematic pages, 1,262 connected pins, and 11 differential pairs on every platform.
The command-line interface (CLI) exports the board, schematic, three-dimensional model, and manufacturing files. Its release process also ran 397 Rust tests and 30 interface tests per platform, compared the Windows installer file by file with its archive, and tested a Linux upgrade from version 0.2.3. The project allows font rendering and library timestamps to differ while requiring copper geometry, component positions, pin assignments, and constraints to match. Visual metadata can vary, while the electrical design must remain identical.
The included display board still has not powered a physical panel, and the release notes call out the missing driver, timing, ripple, electromagnetic interference, and radio checks. Physical hardware validation remains open. The next credible milestone is a bench log from that board tied to the exact release artifact. Until then, teams should use these checks to catch desktop-tool drift while keeping prototype validation as a separate release gate.
