Introduces a new method for compressing STEP files that can be used to reduce the KiCad STEP model library by a factor of 5.
STEP models are text-based, redundant models. By leveraging the built-in reference system, we can eliminate redundant data, saving critical disk space and allowing larger KiCad projects to be sent through common mail servers.
